What do you like best about Codat?

1. Fantastic documentation for Developers and end users.

2. Scalable and reliable solution, capable of delivering the data when you need it regardless of size.

3. Very competent and engaged team willing to assist on technical issues, product enhancements and new business.

4. Focussed. They have a vision of delivering connections to Open Accounting and facilitating Open Banking. That's it. This makes things simple and easy to work with as a partner.

We have partnered with Codat for several years now and data extraction has become a fundamental part of our future and product design. I have enjoyed working with the people at Codat, and have been very impressed with their growth and product maturity since day one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codat?

1. More support for 'Corporate' Accounting packages would be ideal.

2. Manual upload support, to compensate for coverage issues or edge-case scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our goal with the Codat API was to dramatically reduce the manual effort of sending accounting data for the purpose of funding. The automated feed to SME accounting systems has and will continue to reduce the time to funding and ensure that financiers have good quality data to assess risk and provide tailored financing options. Utilising this API will allow us to continue modernising traditional, niche, financing for SMEs across the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It enables us to do an in depth review of our portfolio at the click of a mouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Codat needs to increase the number of accounting software packages it currently links as we are only able to connect to half our portfolio companies currently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-Obtaining a far more detailed insight into our portfolio companies management accounts.

What do you like best about Codat?

The responsiveness of the support and product team. We asked for specific features and updates, this was taken into account directly and added to a new sprint.

The sales team are always available to answer questions and direct your request to the right person.

Clear and well thoughts APIs are easy to build, but supporting your client in using them is much harder, they tick both boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codat?

Some design choices could have been communicated a bit better, very minor.

The way the API syncs, and the fact that there is no clear indication on how quickly/ slowly this could happen is not communicated very well in the documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Connecting to a wide range of accounting software and extending our potential market. It is night and day compared to our old solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codat?

Pre-built APIs provide automatic access to our SME client's accounts - allowing us to assess their info and speed up the lending and subsequent monitoring process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codat?

There's nothing really, the product is the best in the market for what we use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Origination, Underwriting, monitoring were all manual processes. While manual elements are required in each, Codat has helped us to streamline each of our processes improving our efficiency as a firm.

In addition, access to the data via an API allows us to build advanced tools improving the quality of our decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codat?

The Codat team have built an awesome product that has clearly come from people working in the finance industry. They give you the data as it is to allow you build tools that work for your customers. The API is great to work and the Codat team are a pleasure to deal with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codat?

It always takes me a while to find the handy table where you can find all the elements you can pull from each accountancy package. Would be handy if there was a link on the footer or it sat on its own webpage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

What do you like best about Codat?

Using Codat's documentation it is really easy to integrate with the Codat API, start connecting to an accountancy provider and pulling back any of the 15 available datasets (including Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Aged Debtor and Aged Creditor reports).

The Codat API allows gives the user a lot of flexibility and control. For example the user of the Codat API can change the URLs for webhooks, the sync frequency and the priority of datasets to be synced. How to authenticate the user is also configurable, using the Codat front end (the link site) or by designing your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codat?

As part of the onboarding process each of the cloud accounting packages need to be set up, this is quite time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using the Codat API we have been able to build a product to help lenders provide loan decisions to small businesses in hours, not days. A small business connects their banking and accountancy data through a website which can be immediately accessed by the underwriter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Codat?

It goes without saying that Codat provides a brilliant product. Across the last 10 months, myself and my team have been using Codat’s APIs as part of an AI & Machine learning project to help small businesses. They’ve allowed us to work across a multitude of accountancy providers without having to worry about the discrepancies in the data and, most importantly, they’ve been on hand to answer all of the questions we’ve had to ensure that we’re getting the most out of their product. They welcomed us during face to face meetings and gave us more than a reasonable amount of their time, to answer questions and get recommendations.

We worked with one of their competitors for a few months before using Codat and the improvement in quality of service we experienced, in terms of the APIs and data outputs, after switching was remarkable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Codat?

It’s hard to find something that I dislike. Initially, the UAT environment we were set up with was a little slow however this is something that was worked out with the Codat team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Codat:

Affordable product compared to competitors, portal setup makes it possible to start pulling data and testing the product within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As mentioned, we’re using Artificial intelligence, using Codat’s data outputs as a base, to help businesses better manage their cashflow and make it easier to optimise data. Codat’s API has ensured that we can build scalable processes across multiple users and accountancy platforms.

We’ve also used the data to discover more about how small businesses operate which has allowed us to create a feedback loop to the product team we’re developing the application with, so they can use data to inform decisions and try and build the best possible application for their users.

Key benefits include depth of the data, allowing us to discover things we didn’t even know we could, standardisation across providers, awesome support and service team and a great team to work with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
