What do you like best about Circula?

I think its nice that we now have a database that is easy to use and stores all my expenses for my company. Its more convenient than sending all the receipts and tickets per eMail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Not much, yet. They give you 15 bucks if you write a review, so here I am. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Now I dont have to send all the receipts per eMail to our administration and keep them in a separate folder. However, I do still keep them in a separate folder, just to be sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Circula?

Our company just started using Circula for our expenses and wow... have never seen such an intelligent system before. I used my physical card to buy some office supplies and immediately got a notification on the app to fill out the details and upload a receipt. Top marks!

Not only will this help my forgetful self to finish my expense reports immediately, but it also prevents any confusion with my accounting team. With our previous process, we have to sit down and review the credit card charges at the end of the quarter - an absolute nightmare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

We had understood from advertisements that an integration, or compatibility at least, with Travel Perk would be possible. This has not been the case and we are quite disappointed that although our preset cost centers are noted in Travel Perk when booking, they are not shown in Circula and only the total amount paid is shown - no breakdown of any kind is provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Definitely solving the disconnect between credit card charges and receipts/expense reports filed by our staff. This was a major headache for us previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
