Software recognition is by far the coolest feature of Airbase. The ability of the tool to identify the invoice details and populate that for the user saves so much time! I also really like the amortization feature when the invoice service period is longer...

Clunky userface. Reporting is not great. Multiple subsidiares and currencies difficult to use. Initial setup took awhile to finally get integrations to work as they should. Support team generally cant answer any questions.
