We’re on a mission to make the lives and work of finance professionals easier and better with software and service that’s built for the way businesses work today.
Spendesk is an all-in-one spending platform that is fundamentally changing the way finance teams track employee spend. With smart cards, expense reports and real-time insights, employees can easily pay for what they need while the finance team remains in control.
How we’re different from other solutions is that we allow finance teams to decentralise their work which saves them time and allows their teams to move faster. We believe when companies trust and empower their team they create a better workplace and ultimately are more successful.
"I know in real time where the money is spent, and I don’t have to lend out the company’s credit card anymore. What a relief!" — Xavier Haffreingue (COO @Tinyclues)
There are variety of different solutions that companies choose to help employees manage their expenses and pay for their needs at work. We compete with two main options—company cards and expense management software. You’ll find that companies usually need to adopt both in addition tracking everything in Excel as they solutions only address part of the pain of managing employee spending at work.
Having all employee spending centralised in one place, means more visibility, more automation and less time spent on the tedious admin tasks.
We’ve focus on creating a great experience for not only the admin but for the entire company. Because we believe in:
- Payment management is at the heart of every business: money is emotional, complicated, and impacts every part of the business.
- Autonomy and empowerment: those are key values to allowing employees to do their best work.
- Technology and design can free us from time-consuming and frustrating work.
- Trust, but trust does not exclude control.
Very nearly perfection, but I have a use case not handled well

This is cliche, but the software just works. I really appreciate how fast it is to do all the tasks I need to do, and it really helps get my colleagues on board when it doesn't take up much of their time to upload receipts.
Pros This is cliche, but the software just works. I really appreciate how fast it is to do all the tasks I need to do, and it really helps get my colleagues on board when it doesn't take up much of their time to upload receipts.
Cons It is not very obvious how to have a card that can be charged multiple times, but only as a single overall process. An example is any service which takes a deposit, then final charge once manufacture is complete. This would be one purchase request and therefore one spendesk card, but needs to allow multiple individual charges to occur.
The "solution" is a subscription, but then you have to remember to cancel it or the money is reserved on the card forever.

We implemented Spendesk as soon as we heard from them for my compan Hivy.
Hivy is a Saas helping Office Managers to answer every employee needs.
What was the problem I was facing at Hivy? Well few corporate cards, not enough agility in the team when we needed to buy stuff online.
Spendesk was the perfect tool to make my team move faster.
I used Spendesk's product since the beginning - I love the fact that each time I have a question on the product, they quickly get back to me and do whatever is needed to solve my problem.
That's what I call customer support :)

Pros Best customer support <3
Very smooth and user-friendly design
Custom Approval flow which is great when you go on vacations - you can really delegate the payment validation.
Cons Cannot be used with existing corporate cards.
Time saving, seamless approval workflow, team management, Xero integration
Pros Superb UX, Analytical coding, greatest Xero integration ever, no more corporate credit card, no more credit card reconciliation + I can empower my teammates and make them responsible for their budget + I am in control of my expenses without spending too much time in painfull approval workflow.
Cons I want to use it for all my subsidiaries
OCR please ?
A dedicated email than I can use to forward my receipts directly to the solution would be great too
Response from Spendesk
Thank you Nicolas for this review! We will get in touch with you to make sure that all your subsidiaries can use Spendesk.
I have to say that I have been nothing but impressed by the Spendesk platform since we implemented it earlier this year. Tracking credit card expenditure was a manual painstaking process for us until we introduced Spendesk which involved chasing receipts and manually deriving accounting entries from a spreadsheet. I now have control and visibility across the business of the entire spend and am confident that I have the back up and approval processes for it in one location. You have managed to develop a cross platform UX that is easy for the user and the finance team alike and the reporting capability is second to none. I have no hesitation in giving a top rating and have since recommended it to other finance professionals.

Cons If I had one suggestion it would be that the lead time of the physical cards is far too long and the cards themselves should be contactless.
Response from Spendesk
Thank you so much Ken for your amazing review!
We are working right now in decreasing the time of the plastic card delivery and the contactless card is on its way. Stay tuned... ;-)
It greatly improves the purchasing workflow, all the way through to payments and accounting. It decentralises purchasing, while keeping control of the whole process with the decision makers. It's very intuitive to use - I never have to train new employees on Spendesk. The customer support level is the best I've ever seen, and they are constantly adding new features and improving the existing ones.

Cons It costs money. But compared to the employee time saved by using it, as well as the added value compared to manual processes, it's money very well spent.
