What do you like best about Circula?

With Circula, I can now directly and at any time upload all receipts via smartphone right after the expense, so probably little is lost.

Additionally, I can enter travel expenses in just a few steps and very simply.

Simple and good overview of submitted receipts/travel expenses.

Our HR department certainly has less effort, and coordination among each other is very smart.

I use Circula very gladly and regularly, also because the integration in the company worked perfectly and the operation is easy and feasible for everyone - also due to some great training videos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Circula?

User-Sichtweise, keine Admin-Bewertung:

- intuitive Bedienung

- Die Texterkennung funktioniert in ca. 80 % der Fälle gut.

- Ich habe zwei Belege mit der App hochgeladen, anschließend noch zwei über den Laptop. Die Belege waren sofort verfügbar. Sehr schnelle Synchronisierung. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Circula?

Optimierungsvorschläge:

- automatische Erkennung der Kategorie z. B. Übernachtung

- automatisches Zuschneiden des eingescannten Beleges z. B. wie bei Microsoft Lens

- beim Hochladen von der ersten Quittung direkt die Möglichkeit haben, einen Ordner anzulegen, sofern man dies vorher nicht schon getan hat

- spannend wären auch für den User kleine Analysen z. B. x Prozent entfallen auf Kategorie Fahrtkosten, x Prozent auf Übernachtung. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
