Pros and cons

Very easy to use, logically designed and very intuitive to pick up. Amazing, extremely helpful customer service - issues are dealt with immediately and resolved well.
Ve been very happy with the software and the customer service has been excellent. Immediate replies to emails and easy walk through instructions when running into any questions.
I initially heard of bean bills at my previous work. After working with it I found it to be very user friendly and the desire of the Bean Bills team to constantly improve their product amazing.
Also, sync errors are difficult to find and no alerts for such as given.
Wrong Vendor numbers and Invoice Numbers. Have hand written some on the invoice and they still type it wrong.
Inability to lock a date from being input; after the close, we do not want billing dates for the closed quarter to be input, and Beanworks does not offer an option for this.

Great AP Software

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Everything is electronic. Subs/Vendors can email their invoices directly to our Beanworks, which cuts down on incoming mail. Approvers can be located in various locations and still access and approve even via mobile. The search features to find an invoice are exceptional.

Cons

Since their recent update the PDF files are much smaller outside of Beanworks which is NOT great.

Vendor response

Electronic AP is what we want! We are working hard to make it seamless for you. Your response has been noted. Thank you!

SAGE AP - Very Good Solution for AP Automation

Reviewed 7 months ago

Approval, review, coding and payment of invoices is now automated and savings lots of time.

Pros

Document Flow, Sync with SAGE 300, Audit trail for approvals

Cons

Payment feature through a 3rd party. Nvoicepay is not always in sync with SAGE APA or SAGE 300. The change in Customer Support was not an improvement. Still waiting for minor fixes.

Vendor response

Thank you for choosing Sage AP Automation and for taking the time to write a review. We're glad to hear that our product is helping you save time and improve your approval workflow. We appreciate your feedback on our customer support team, and we're sorry to hear that you haven't had a positive experience. We are constantly working to improve our customer support so that we can provide the best possible experience for our users. Thank you again and we hope you continue to find it helpful in streamlining your AP processes.

A great solution for electronic accounts payable

Reviewed 12 days ago

The system is pretty easy to use. Once a year or so we have a little glitch, but it's easily remedied and not unexpected with a software product.

Pros

The integration with our accounting software, the electronic storage of documents, the ability to have invoices authorized electronically.

Cons

The search feature has more steps than I would like, but it does work well.

Vendor response

Hi Alisa, thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on Quadient AP. It's fantastic to hear that our product has seamlessly integrated with your accounting software, made document storage more efficient, and simplified your approval process!

Good AP tool for small enterprises - will not fully automate AP, still many manual interventions

Reviewed a year ago

We tried to automate the AP fully, but Beanworks doesn't seem to do that. Our success criteria with the AP Automation project are not met with it. The tool is still in the designing phase and needs a lot of improvements before it can be called a complete AP automation tool.

Pros

The product is easy to implement, configure and put to use.

Cons

Recently implemented the tool faced the following challenges - - Customer support sucks, no SLA adhered. Subscribed for 2 hours of support to realize there are no timelines called 2 hours. - Not able to process any USD Invoices as claimed by the product team. Needs to be processed and entered manually outside Beanworks. - A single report can handle only 80 invoices in it. But if want to select more...

Quadiant Accounts Payable Automation

Reviewed 12 days ago
Pros

Quadiant AP automation transformed our manual AP process into an efficient, easy to use portal.Implementation and training was excellent. The ability to quickly search for and see historical invoices is especially helpful.

Cons

One feature that is missing is the ability to direct invoices to the correct post month rather than rely on the invoice date.

Vendor response

Hi Alissa, thank you for taking the time to share your outstanding feedback about Quadient AP. We are thrilled to hear that our solution has had such a positive impact on your organization's accounts payable process!

It is ver good for accounting automation

Reviewed 7 months ago

A good program that can be relied upon in completing many accounting operations.

Pros

A great tool for automating a lot of accounting work, such as payroll, invoices, vacations, expenses, and payments. Cost savings, especially for small and medium-sized companies. Easy to integrate with other accounting software.

Cons

There are no major negatives that prevent the program from working successfully, but it may need to add some features to increase work efficiency. Also, please reduce the price a little.

Really great - very happy we implemented this.

Pros

We love how easy it was to transition to and how it integrates with Sage 300. Love being able to see the invoice PDFs quickly and easily, no more paper!

Cons

Wish it was easier to process our credit card through Quadient and wish PO approvals could happen in the app.

Great Solution for Small/Medium Size Business Looking to Go Paperless

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall our company could not be happier with Beanworks and their AP solution. Any time we have an issue, we can reach out to support and work with someone directly for a quick resolution. During implementation, the team listened to our needs and really helped to customize their product in a way that was the best fit for our business. Their product has made the headache of bill processing and payment a thing of the past.

Pros

This Accounts Payable solution has brought our business into the 21st century and we could not be happier with the result. All of our invoices and corresponding payment information is now available with a few clicks of a mouse. We no longer need to store mountains of banker boxes filled with obsolete records to maintain our data archive for historical record audit -- saving us valuable internal space...

Cons

Originally when we signed up with Beanworks, the company was unable to print our account number on the physical checks mailed to our vendors. This meant that bills for credit cards or utilities were still paid manually so we could include the information. As of 2018, we can now print our account number on vendor checks so this problem has been alleviated. One note is that you will still need to print your own check should you need to include any paperwork with the physical check as the check printing service is a third-party provider so only the check itself is mailed to the vendor.

Vendor response

We enjoy having you as our customer and very much appreciate your continuous support in the product and the team. We are working hard to make the AP workflow simple and delightful!

BEANWORKS - Works as advertised!!

Reviewed 5 years ago

The odd hiccup here and there is expected with any software but I have to say, Beanworks tech/customer support is great to work with and managed to work through our issues quickly and efficiently the majority of the time. Overall, Beanworks works very well and has managed to convert one of our largest volume clients into a paperless client while at the same time offering an exceptional and seamless AP work flow process. Once again, the software works as advertised....no regrets!!

Pros

Beanworks is a true AP Workflow application that seems to cover all aspects of the Accounts Payable process. From invoice electronic capture, invoice coding, invoice approval, payment selection, payment approval, payment authorization and cheque issuance, it is an all encompassing piece of software. Bottom line, it works as advertised!!

Cons

If there is something I can say I like the least about the software, it would have to be the per transaction cost. Although I can appreciate everything the software offers and so I understand and can justify the need for the per transactional cost, one must keep in mind that as volumes increase, so can your monthly fees. As a result, no matter how good it works, the cost may not make it appropriate for everyone. For us however, well worth the investment!!

Vendor response

Thank you for being a wonderful client to work with! Your note has been passed onto the team. We appreciate your continuous support in the product and the team.

Very Beneficial

Reviewed 5 years ago

Beanworks is very useful and I would highly recommend it for many businesses to track their invoicing. I also like how we can reach out to a Beanworks representative by instant messaging and they are able to log in and review/fix errors at anytime.

Pros

Beanworks is easy to use and manage. I like that we can upload the invoices, code, and have them reviewed by different departments. It's also amazing how it links to Jonas with updated information. It keeps everything organized and if I need to view anything in particular, the search options are very helpful. They are just one click away. It is also nice to write in comments to communicate with other departments. I like how I can create customized reports for payments and invoices as well.

Cons

There are some instances where I have to do manual checks in Jonas, but I am not able to mark those invoices as paid in Beanworks, only having the option to mark the invoice as "do not pay."

Vendor response

Thank you for your response! We are working hard to make your experience in accounts payable workflow workful simple and delightful.

BeanworksAP is relevant, useful and efficient. It's a fantastic solution.

Reviewed 5 years ago

AMAZING PRODUCT! I cannot praise it enough.

Pros

Very easy to use, logically designed and very intuitive to pick up. Amazing, extremely helpful customer service - issues are dealt with immediately and resolved well. Good at picking up our internal general ledger coding categories. Great for our organization, where we have a lot of remote/travelling staff who are able to approve invoices/payments from anywhere.

Cons

As of yet, we aren't able to send wire transfers to the US because we are a Canadian not-for-profit, so this is done outside of BeanworksAP. In the case of a vendor with multiple locations who has non-centralized accounting (so each location has it's own finance team), the system sometimes gets confused on which vendor address to select (because all locations have the same name but different addresses).

Vendor response

Our CS team would be very happy to hear your thoughts! We love that you are able to approve invoices and payments from anywhere. Your feedback has been passed onto the product team. Thank you for your response!

little bugs once in a while but they are quickly remedied. inability to change approval channels. this may be more company specific and attached to function vs actual software limitation.

I find BeanworksAP to be very easy to use and very versatile. Beanworks service team is always quick and friendly.

I least like when an user wants to reject an invoice, it goes all the way back to the starting point, when sometimes it just needs to go back one approval level.

Payables

Reviewed 5 years ago

Approval being automated is nice, not having tons of papers handed out for approval. SYnc feature seems to always be slow or have issues. Overall some features are nice, but not sure how much of a time saver it really is.

Pros

That it feeds to Sage 100. Less papers to handle

Cons

The errors from the Beanwork typers. Wrong Vendor numbers and Invoice Numbers. Have hand written some on the invoice and they still type it wrong. Using date as Invoice number which them makes it appear to be duplicate when it is not. Also issues with Channels for Approvals, have been challenging to fit our needs.

Thank you for your note. Your response has been passed onto the appropriate team members.

Invoicing Made Simple

Reviewed 4 years ago

This has really allowed us to get invoices in our system much quicker which in turn leads to faster payment processing. Overall highly recommend to others.

Pros

I like the smart code functionality the most. It takes the most recently approved invoice's expense coding and applies it to the same vendor with a simple tap of the button. The approval process is also simple and easy for other departments to pick up. And my absolute favorite thing about Beanworks is their customer service. You will always get a response and more often than not, it will help address the issue you're having.

Cons

There are times that the invoice number was inputted incorrectly so it is unable to pick up a duplicate invoice. This happens rarely and can be prevented by reviewing Beanworks' work on the backend.
