Spendesk

"Great efficiency tool for small companies"

Vorteile: It greatly improves the purchasing workflow, all the way through to payments and accounting. It decentralises purchasing, while keeping control of the whole process with the decision makers. It's very intuitive to use - I never have to train new employees on Spendesk. The customer support level is the best I've ever seen, and they are constantly adding new features and improving the existing ones.

Nachteile: It costs money. But compared to the employee time saved by using it, as well as the added value compared to manual processes, it's money very well spent.

"Sucess Story"

Vorteile: 100% control over all teams and their spendings
Easy to use via app or directly on the platform
Streamlining of Cash-out
Customization of fields for export incl. cost center logic

Nachteile: Missing export file with images for German accounting software Datev

"Solved our problem with missing receipts"

Kommentare: It is a great tool to manage expenses of your colleagues and providing them with budget without missing a receipt.

Vorteile: -No missing receipts anymore
-Easy management of expenses
-Easy management of subscribtions
-Virtual credit-cards for purchases

Nachteile: -Seems to have different functionality on app and on the web app which can be confusing in the beginning.

"Improvements"

Kommentare: Paying all over the US when travelling. Helps with keeping track of company expenses.

Vorteile: Easy to mangae/upload your receipts when you are travelling.

Nachteile: -Spendesk card doesn't work in many places (Trader Joe's for example)
-With the app you can only take photos from receipts. It would be a great improvement if you could make a photo that recognizes the receipt (adapts the borders automatically) and that converts it to a pdf.

"Everything undercontrol"

Vorteile: Having credit card as main payment method for our online providers was a mess. Spendesk gave us absolut control about our expenses, reporting and more over... authmatization! Never more share credit card data to employees.

Nachteile: Spendesk should have been live 5 ago to avoid past problems :)
