What do you like best about Circula?

Before Circula, reimbursements in our company were troublesome: there was a lot of back and forth with difficult-to-fill and hard-to-understand Excel files. I used to receive my reimbursements days after my business trips. Now, thanks to the process being so easy and intuitive, I receive my reimbursement even before my travel, simply by sharing the booking receipts—a concept that was unimaginable before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

While I don't necessarily dislike the system, there's room for improvement in the OCR functionality. Occasionally, it fails to recognize the merchant or the amount accurately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Circula?

Es ist sehr einfach, selbsteerklärend, übersichtlich und unkompliziert - endlich hat die umständliche Einreichung und Aufbewahrung von etlichen einzelnen Belegen ein Ende. Circula ist von der Einzeleinreichung bis zur Erstellung ganzer Reiseabrechnung sehr hilfreich für uns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Es ist (noch) nicht möglich, mehrere Belege auf einer Seite einzuscannen und einzeln zu benennen, man muss Einzelbelege auch einzeln scannen. Aber: Das ist "Meckern auf hohem Niveau". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
