Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BILL Spend & Expense's credit cards exclusively at this point. We had a very antiquated way of getting our credit card transactions verified and charged to the correct budgets in the past. Being able to utilize Divvy's website and app has made this much easier on the cardholder and the accounting department.

Pros

Great app
User friendly website
Great Support

Cons

Sometimes the website is slow to load transaction history for credit cards

Return on Investment

We are getting a much better interest rate on credit card purchases
Less time is spent processing transactions
Employees have more freedom and accountability

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Before we would use a google sheet template where people upload invoices, enter information in a description field and put in the accounting code from a drop-down menu accordingly. Then the AP clerk would manually input into the accounting system. With BILL, we can now sync it directly into our accounting system

Pros

Staff to enter information into a format that sync to our accounting system

Cons

The sync with our accounting system from Bill takes some work to get the fields correct.

Return on Investment

Can't necessarily quantify in $$ but saves on staffing

Other Software Used

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for employee credit cards at all of our organizations. It works / syncs with our accounting software (Sage Intacct), and took us from processing credit card receipts being a roughly 6 person job to them being a 1 person job.

Pros

App for maintaining and monitoring credit cards is easy to use and thorough
Offers ability to send out reminders for receipts that need to be submitted
Set up restrictions for the accounts and other parameters that employees can select from
Various, unlimited approval flows for credit card receipts

Cons

Rewards can be very hard to reach which takes away from the program overall
Reminder notices aren't automatic to cardholders and you can't send reminders to approvers
Only links upload into Sage Intacct for the receipts and transactions, not the physical receipts
If you have multiple companies, you have to set everything up in each one individually
Cardholders and Approvers with multiple locations have to access each individually

Return on Investment

Positive Point - Created much more consistently and offered more control over coding
Positive Point - Saved 1,000's of manhours in our finance department chasing down credit card receipts every month
Negative Point - Cost us on possible rewards / cash back compared to our previous solution
Positive Point - Forced approval on receipts from managers
