Pleo Overview

What is Pleo?

Pleo is a comprehensive spending solution designed to streamline expense management for companies of all sizes. This innovative platform provides employees with smart company cards, enabling them to make necessary purchases without the hassle of tracking down receipts or managing reimbursements. With Pleo, organizations can gain real-time visibility into their spending, reduce administrative burdens, and foster a culture of trust and autonomy among team members. Targeted primarily at businesses looking to enhance their financial processes, Pleo caters to a diverse audience, including finance teams, HR departments, and employees across various sectors. The solution is particularly beneficial for companies that want to empower their staff while maintaining control over expenditures. By simplifying the expense management process, Pleo allows teams to focus on their core responsibilities rather than getting bogged down by paperwork and manual tracking. One of the key features of Pleo is its automated expense management system, which eliminates the need for tedious paperwork and manual entry. As soon as a purchase is made using a Pleo card, notifications are sent to administrators, ensuring that there are no unexpected expenses at the end of the month. This level of transparency is a significant advantage, as it allows companies to monitor spending in real-time and adjust budgets as necessary. Many users report that this feature has increased their overall productivity and enhanced their understanding of financial flows within the organization. Pleo also offers customizable spending limits for each cardholder, giving businesses the flexibility to manage their budgets effectively. This feature allows organizations to set individual limits based on roles or departments, ensuring that spending aligns with company policies. The ability to adjust these limits as needed further enhances control over finances, making it easier for administrators to respond to changing business needs. Ultimately, Pleo empowers teams by removing the constraints of traditional expense management. By providing employees with the tools they need to make purchases directly, companies can save significant time and resources. On average, Pleo admins report saving up to 138 hours annually, allowing them to redirect their efforts toward more strategic initiatives. This combination of efficiency, transparency, control, and freedom makes Pleo a valuable asset for organizations aiming to optimize their financial operations.

What do you like best about Pleo?

Incredibly user-friendly app on both the front and back end - being easy to use is definitely where Pleo shines.

Zero problems getting the app integrated into our company's processes and getting people on board.

Functionality is almost perfect and wouldn't change much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pleo?

Not being able to customise certain things - my main issue with the app is not being able to make the note/descriprion of an expense mandatory - I really don't understand why this isn't an option and why we're allowing people to leave this blank.

Frustrating onboarding process - taking months to verify us as a company.

Support all goes through an email and will take at least a day to get back to you - not good if there's an urgent need for assistance. Support/contact with salespeople also non-existent as soon as you sign the contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Modernising the expense process for our business - easy to use app for an expense-heavy business

Receipt collection - bringing online and reducing admin

Real-time data - employees continuously providing data and information on their expenses rather than once-per-month submission Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pleo?

So simple and easy to use and understand. It's clear what tasks must be done and how to use the card. Also love that it sometimes automatically knows what category the spend is in (i.e. recognises car parks!). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pleo?

I've struggled to use the 'fetch' email send feature, and would love it if it could link other email accounts to Pleo, as I have a different email for car parking and other shops! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Beforehand I'd have to use an outdated online platform that was slow and complicated. Now I can instantly snap my receipts on the app and it's SO much quicker! I can also see a summary of spending much quicker and easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pleo?

Most helpful in Pleo has been the integration from credit cards to an App that automatically tracks and reminds users to upload the receipts. It is very easy to use, so that even those resistent to change adapted quickly. The personal customer support convinced us to quickly scale the use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pleo?

There are some smaller flaws in the implementation, it seems that the Multi-Entity-Function is not fully integrated into the system. It would be helpful to have a few security features added, especially in the area of invoice payment. I miss the option of integrated direct debits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We finally have an easy-to-use system that all our members and volunteers can use to manage the expenses, hand in their reports and automatize the accounting. Before Pleo, almost all of this was done by hand, so by now we save more than 50% of time for bookkeeping and receipt searching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pleo?

Pleo has helped us to get a much better overview of our finances. Not only can we now see all our expenses and all the relevant information at a glance. We can also control our spending precisely using budgets, limits and dedicated cards. In addition, all employees got to grips with Pleo very quickly and the tool was very well received.

Overall, the user interface is kept very simple and clear. However, the ‘Analysis’ section could offer even more options and customisable views to gain further insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pleo?

We implemented Pleo after our current software did not live up to our expectations. The implementation was easy, structured and quic, and within a day we had the system active and integrated with our accounting software. New users are easliy added, and the cards are activated and added to Apple Pay with the click of a few buttons. It it easy to set up teams, accounting dimensions, to handle reviews and approval flows, to handle reimbursments of per diem and personal expenses, and to transfer funds to the wallet. We are currently using Pleo daily within our operations and multiple companies, and have received very positive reviews internally. Fetch is a function that we all love, since we have a lot of different subscriptions where we receive receipts to our emails. The function to create separate vendor cards for these subscriptions is also great, the ability to keep these separate from the personal pleo cards and change responsible person and not disturb personal purchase limits is very useful. The customer support and guides avaliable are very helpful as well. Overall our experience of Pleo is positive and we are happy with the service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pleo?

Our only complaints so far are that the employees cannot create expense reports for private expenses to gather receipts from a specific trip. They can only add these receipts one at the time. We are also missing the ability to change the tax amount when adding and reviewing a receipt, since this can only be done in export. However, these are our only points of dislike and nothing that takes away from the overall experience of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have previously used company bank cards and personal cards for expenses, which resulted in more admin and the need for additional systems and processes. We handled reimbursments as part of monthly salary payments, and gathering receipts for company card purchases was a struggle. Now all employees have Pleo cards, and in the cases where a personal card has been used they can easliy reimburse themselves after approval of the purchase. The app with reminders to scan receipts after a Pleo purchase has worked great, and there are not many cases where we have to remind the employees to turn in the receipts. Fetch is also a great function for subscriptions and other purchases where a digital receipt is sent to the mail, no need for searching through the mailbox at month end to find old receipts. With the direct integration to all our different accounting softwares in different countries, the export and bookkeeping is now done in a breeze. We have now freed a lot of admin time for our accounting staff and our employees, and expenses are easliy handled through the same platform for everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use, quick to catch receipts and it has scan option instead of photo. Reminds me to take photos. Easy to keep track of payments. Great to have virtual card that is easy to setup.

Software is still sometimes glitchy. Ofter adding categories does not work. Privileges in web version to app are different. Invoice uploading is a fair bit odd if you dont have full privilages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
