What do you like best about Circula?

It's so easy to use. the OCR works decently well and only rarely have I had to make a modification to the autofilled inputs. Just upload the receipt, double check if all is ok, and send for company approval. No hassle at all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Some actions confuse me. Mainly "Upload from storage", as this language is normally used for my own storage (my computer) instead of the platform's own Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Circula solving and how is that benefiting you?

My company offers me a learning budget of a set amount per year. I can buy whatever course I like from any platform (Udemy, for example), upload the receipt and just wait for the approval. If it gets rejected, it's more likely that I uploaded the wrong receipt/invoice than some error with the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
