Spendesk Reviews

Expense control.

Comments: It enables you to track in real time the expenses incurred through multiple corporate cards that are required for many of our employees' day-to-day operations.
Excellent tool for ensuring that the internal budget is followed without deviation.

Pros:

Allows you to create personalized physical and virtual cards in order to avoid borrowing cards and losing control over responsible spending. If you contact support before purchasing, it will provide you with a personalized demo. It appeals to me because it has a simple and user-friendly interface that makes tracking card usage simple.

Cons:

This platform has nothing that I dislike about it.

Let down by slow customer service and some limited acceptance.

Comments: Spendesk helped us get on top of our paperwork and was a stepping stone to a more robust and complete system.

Pros:

First introduction to this form of payment software and dramatically reduced the time we spent chasing receipts and reconciling payments.

Cons:

Customer service was slow to respond and often unhelpful. Some major vendors did not accept Spendesk cards as payment.

Virtual card for emergencies

Comments: 199% satisfied definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Use it mainly when I need to use a virtual card for an emergency for my customers great interface never has any trouble with it

Cons:

Not much to not like. It’s working the way it should

Is useful, if youare only operating in Europe

Comments: Basically, is a good tool and gets the main purpose. but when you need more specifications and needs, you need to find other more complete. Then, the report at the end of the month needed to be modified because the import process to Netsuite was very touhg and the final statement very complicated to accomodate to Netsuite.

Pros:

The user experience was very correct. you could manage your tool very easy, and modify your accounting settings quickly.

Cons:

We were working with EUR and USD but we needed the GBP coverage. The multi currency was not very good covered, and we changed to other product. The reporting was not very good.

Sucess Story

Pros:

100% control over all teams and their spendings Easy to use via app or directly on the platform Streamlining of Cash-out Customization of fields for export incl. cost center logic

Cons:

Missing export file with images for German accounting software Datev

Everything undercontrol

Pros:

Having credit card as main payment method for our online providers was a mess. Spendesk gave us absolut control about our expenses, reporting and more over... authmatization! Never more share credit card data to employees.

Cons:

Spendesk should have been live 5 ago to avoid past problems :)

Significantly improves budget management.

Comments: Spendesk allows for real-time expense tracking and quicker approvals.
It is a platform that has enabled us to optimize line item and budget execution.
It aids in the management of travel expenses.

Pros:

It allows you to automate processes and optimize your spending through an intuitive and simple interface. I like it because it allows me to better control the employees in my area and issue cards whenever they are required in the currency that they require.

Cons:

This platform has nothing that I dislike about it.

Monitoring and control of expenses.

Comments: pendesk is a very effective expense control platform, which has allowed us to avoid budget disasters in our area and to keep a record of corporate card transactions that allows us to identify inappropriate expenses.

Pros:

I like being able to track expenses in real time. It gives us the ability to issue virtual cards to make payments and receive reimbursements. It makes it easy to pay for subscriptions.

Cons:

There is nothing I dislike about Spendesk.

Great efficiency tool for small companies

Pros:

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.

Control of budget movements.

Comments: Spendesk monitors our department's expenses to avoid unnecessary or lavish spending.
It helps to keep a healthy accounting, pay subscriptions and issue invoices to customers.

Pros:

I like being able to issue virtual cards for unforeseen expenses or employee travel, keeping a very detailed record of expenses in case of an audit.

Cons:

There is nothing I dislike about this platform.

Forest Admin uses Spendesk

Comments: Forest is a Saas company. As any saas company we have a lot of online spending : IT, subscriptions (git, adobe, etc) or travel expenses to visit our customers.
We had only 1 credit card (mine) B.S (as Before Spendesk :p) which was used for every subscription leading to problems. I could not have a clear view on all my subscriptions ! I was also blocked because of spending monthly limit... Using Spendesk helped me to control each and every one of my subscription + no monthly limit. I also use Spendesk for all my online spending and don't lose time at the end of the month chasing for invoices (something which is time-consuming and that I hate on a personal level).

Pros:

issue 1 card per subscription with budgets autonomy given to the other guys in my teams -> they can do the purchases themselves and I can use the customized approval flow to delegate the validation

Cons:

I am the one not putting my invoices on the platform now and my accountant knows exactly that this is not on one of my employees' side

Awesome to simplify expenses

Pros:

Super easy to create/use/approve virtual cards for online expenses

Cons:

It would be amazing if it could be combined with a forex solution, à la Revolut

Simple and effective

Pros:

Easy to use, the app has an intuitive design. The customer support is fast and efficient.

Cons:

I had a few payment failures but they solve the issue almost immediately.

Spendesk Accounting software

Comments: Account Payables

Pros:

I particularly love the ease of use of the interface

Cons:

None that i can think of at the moment.

Spendesk Review by a client

Comments: I am really happy to be able to use such a tool in our day to day operations

Pros:

Tool makes it extremely easy to pay our monthly subscriptions for other tools we are using to operate our business and we don't have to deal with those processes

Cons:

If you get different amounts every month for different subscriptions; you would have to get the amount approved by the approvers which could be a disadvantage since payment doesn't go through if that's the case

Saves countless hours

Comments: It’s globally amazing!

Pros:

Accounting used to be quite painful for us. Immediate and automatic reconciliation saves us countless hours!

Cons:

It’s hard to create temporary card on mobile.

Instant, quick and easy to use

Comments: adhoc I need to use the company card to buy tickets for events etc. Spendesk makes it hassle free

Pros:

- The speed of funds being ready to spend on my card after making my request and it being authorised. - Not being reliant on company card holder being in the office to use the company card

Cons:

I haven't experienced any issues with spendesk so far

Surprisingly helpful and efficient

Comments: Spendesk allowed WeTek to manage all the paperwork related to its employees T&E, using a more efficient and correct approach. We've also improved the flexibility regarding one-off online purchases and regular subscriptions. Expenses management became simpler and its platform is very intuitive. A very good experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Pros:

Automatic supplier identification and the ability to invoice the amount of documents uploaded. The user reminder feature is very useful, as well as its reports.

Cons:

It would be interesting to be able to select the expiration date of the issued credit cards. Also, physical credit cards should somehow enforce company spending policies.

accountant point of view

Comments: note: can't tell about "value for money". I use spendesk mainly as an accountant, sometimes as administrator or requester.

Pros:

From an accountant point of view, it allows very easy follow-up for expenses and a great overview of missing receipts. On classic accounts statements, you have few or no information about the expenses. Since our credit card was used by and for different departments in our company, it required me a lot of time to follow expenses and identify for what and for who the expense was. Very painful! Spendesk completely solved this problem.

Cons:

Honestly I don't see real cons as far as it goes. It's more about new features which would be great to be implemented.

Easy to use

Comments: My experience has been very satisfactory.

Pros:

The tool is very easy to use; the drag and drop functionality is very convenient. The alerts to know when to upload an invoice are very helpful.

Cons:

Nothing so far; but it is true that I am a basic user (maybe the accounting team would have more feedback to give).

Ease of Use

Pros:

It's great to make purchases and ideal that I need not use my own card for online payments

Cons:

There was an issue with where my approvals went initially though this may be because of my direct report within the company

Great simple tool

Comments: Great software that allows me to finally no need to keep the receipts to claim expenses as a constant business traveller.

Pros:

Simplicity design and able to track my spending

Cons:

So far, the problems were solved and quite efficient.

Great Experience

Pros:

Ease of use makes it a top pick for corporate expences.

Cons:

Lack of contactless functionality in its shocking violet cards.

Very easy to use!

Comments: It's super user-friendly and efficient :)

Pros:

I travel a lot for work and love that I can use the app at any moment and upload directly my invoices to the app, very user-friendly

Cons:

Sometimes the app takes a bit to load the images, but it usually solves with a few minutes

Easy to use

Comments: Very good, can definitely recommend it.

Pros:

It's very user friendly and saves a lot of time with my expenses.

Cons:

I like that it tells me that my request has been approved. I don't like that I have no idea when the payment will go through.
