What do you like best about Spendesk?

At the beginning they were super helpful: During the setup phase I had a contact who was highly engaged and helped to get the onboarding down in a super short amount of time for multiple, global entities.

The users like the UI and the tool works rather well on a day to day business for our colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spendesk?

Our key account manager was not responsive, not helpful and didn´t solve ANY of our urgent issues:

They told us to use the NetSuite native integration which was nothing but horrible. Please do not make the mistake to use it. I took us several month to role back to our old manual way and clean up the mess that the integration created. When our CFO escalted this to Spendesk and made it clear that this is a very urgent matter, it took them over a week to even response. They were not able to provide a solution. We are terrible frustrated as a finance crew by the way we are not supported and how badly the integration is that is provided as "native" integration. The documentation and guidance in the integration process was pretty poor as well.

If you are using NetSuite: Please do not use this product.

The product is just not scalable for us as a company because the integration is just not working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spendesk?

I love how easy it is to pay for things with Spendesk!

Single purchases - Straight forward and simple!

Subscriptions - All easily managed from one dashboard and you can attach receipts to emails or forward to a special address

Even claiming ad-hoc expenses is super convenient via the app and a photo - It takes care of filling in most details and you can submit the claim on the spot!

As a systems admin I also appreciate the ease at which we could integrate it with our SSO provider, making logins easy and secure for all our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spendesk?

If I had to pick one it'd probably be that all subscriptions are only based on monthly pricing - which can make annual subscriptions appear expensive as you need to put year pricing in for a month to create a valid request and mildly panic your approver :D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has been a big help in managing our subscription spending and ensuring that all charges are accompanied by a valid invoice or receipt.

It's also made ad-hoc purchasing a lot faster, with quicker approvals and alerts and instant access to the payment details so I don't need to rely on others to complete the purchases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spendesk?

It is so user-friendly. Especially when I upload a receipt, or invoice. Now we use it also to manage expenses, invoices, accounting... Everything is so easy to track Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spendesk?

Maybe the VTA part can be tricky. I uploaded a few invoices from the same provider (Edenred) and I don’t know why, but only half of the invoice is taking into account. It's as if the platform can only read half of the page, and it's always with this provider. There is something problematic with the VTA part Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It saves me TIME ! No more expenses report to fill, no need to use my personal card and wait for the refund from accountants. Now that I'am also using Spendesk for my invoice management, I have noticed that everything is easy to track : Purchase orders, invoices uploaded, payments...

What do you like best about Spendesk?

Spendesk eliminated a very manual process of submitting expenses and invoices with docs and emails. Their platform is intuitive and interactive and actually kind of fun to use too. I can search for submitted expenses and request virtual credit cards for online payments. The process is transparent and secure too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spendesk?

I've found that the cost centers that have been set up don't correspond with how I actually track my team's budget but that's hopefully something we can modify for the next fiscal year. Sometimes the virtual credit cards don't work for certain suppliers-it's not really a big nuisance though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Spendesk makes tracking payments very fluid and centralized, eliminating manual work and back-and-forths with finance. We don't have to use word files and emails to submit expenses or ask finance if a specific payment has been made, we can just check Spendesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
