Spendesk Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

Before Spendesk all of our client's marketing spend was with our own corporate card. Making it hard to track and match each transaction to the according client. With Spendesk this is being done automatically so we can easily print the transaction history per client. All those costs can be calculated to the client so this is fault-prove.

Spendesk doens't work with credit, so you have to be sure to add enough funds to the account. This isn't a big problem, but with lots of marketing spend this has to be done frequently.

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.

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.

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.

Cannot be used with existing corporate cards.

The fact that i can scan my receipts and upload them directly from the phone. Having a Visa credit card that links directly to the app and i don't have to use my personal one.

There are too many approvals needed for every single operation

Spendesk allows me to pay in a B2B environment, while having full visibility on realtime spending and accounting at the end of the month!

I wish I had known before that I could connect Spendesk with my accounting software: I would have saved so much time!

Every expense incurred by the team can be sent for approval, approved, and sent to the vendor instantly.

Certain vendors decline prepaid virtual cards, meaning it's back to the old hunting down the company card game.

Easy to use, use friendly, gives you quickly overview and control of spending's

For now not sure, as we are growing and implement new ERP system, so maybe in the future we could have

Easy way to manage all the payments, you can change your cards like a pro.

Sometimes I need to change the amount credit allowed in a card, but once it's created, you can't change it.

Easy to implement
Time credit
Great monitoring

Could be cheaper
purple color ;-)

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

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

Spendesk has been invaluable in making it easy and straight forward to make company purchases. Setting up purchases is quick and painless, and if managed correctly easy to track all of your spending and invoices.

Would maybe like an option to create a department card which can be used multiple times but still has the limits and tracking capabilities, but which doesn't fall under the subscription use case.

it has a very easy and simple user interface. With this software, we track all our expenses, bills, reimbursement, cash spends, dealer invoice, purchase order etc. The best thing is it can be assessed over the app/ through a phone

Sometimes when we upload bills autofill doesn't work. But after a time one tends to get a hang of it as to what type of bill need to be manually filled .

user-friendly with the possibility of uploading receipts via the mobile app
automated top up request process
integration with slack for real-time notifications

no improvement points to be made at this stage

The app on this and the way you can instantly upload the receipts make this so much easier! Better than complicated spreadsheets and weeks of waiting before, Spendesk makes it so easy

Only con is that my card doesn't have contactless but I understand the new cards do.

The fact that a physical card becomes useless and that I can delegate payments and bookings to team members whilst keeping the control over the costs

The few times the generated card doesn’t work

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.

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.

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

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

Simplicity design and able to track my spending

So far, the problems were solved and quite efficient.

User friendly and organization, all information in the same place.

The software, none till now, the card to pay cant be used in some places. Overall, good experience.

The overall speed and straightforwardness of handling on a daily basis expenses as a field commercial.

The fact that Firefox doesn't handle the software?

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

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.

It is so easy to do your expenses by taking a photo of a receipt and the amount and date is already is filled in. It takes you les then 30 seconds to do the expenses.

Haven't encountered anything I didn't like

Spendesk gave my team a lot of freedom, ownership and allowed managers to step back a bit and clear more time for other more meaningful tasks

I wanted an option to do wire transfers.
