Accounting Seed vs. Oracle Textura Payment Management

I wouldn’t recommend Accounting Seed to enterprise companies. However, Accounting Seed is the best cloud accounting tool for small and medium-sized companies that are yearning to automate accounts payable and receivable, inventory management, and invoice customization in one integrated platform.

For a GC that wants to make things easier for both the themselves and all subs, this is absolutely the best solution out there. Some GCs still approve changes using purchase orders rather than change orders and allow invoicing to occur at any time during the month However, they should change their process to align with Oracle Textura Payment Management's draws. Without a draw process and confirmed invoice submission along with ACH payments, we have had invoices lost, payments lost, and time lost from having to track all of it. I can't think of a reason it would not be appropriate.

• Custom reporting seems cumbersome, but it could just be that we need better instructions, more examples, maybe some more canned reports. My company needs the ability to compare multiple years, and more than one budget in a report - we start with an approved board budget and then we reproject each quarter.
• Non profits need to print financials by restriction level - this has also been very awkward - all the data is there but I have to piece it together in an excel spreadsheet every time I want it.
• In general, the materials needed for non profits is not as accessible as it could be.

• Task Management needs a "Mark all as Read" or similar function. They pile up per job and are only able to be completed using certain links and processes.
• Payment Notification emails should include payment details including amount(s), joint check info, and check numbers.
• Projects should be able to be removed or archived by the subcontractor. We have jobs showing on our home page that are 3+ years since completion.
• Retention billing is very confusing and should be communicated more clearly. There should also be a button that allows for all retention to be billed at once rather than having to type in the amount per line item.
• Sub-Tiers should not be a menu to click through if there are no sub-tiers for a sub.

It always works well. We've never had programming issues. Never. It is easy to customize. The system can grow with you as your business grows and changes. Being cloud-based you can work from anywhere. It is intuitive. You have all the features of Salesforce, like workflows, that work perfectly in Accounting Seed. Having that full integration with Salesforce allows you to see all our data in one platform

Although there are minor improvements to be made, Oracle Textura Payment Management is far and away the easiest payment solution out there for any invoicing procedure that requires monthly draws.

We seldom have had to use their support but when we have, they have been responsive and actually were able to answer our questions in a simple, nontech language. You don't have to be a programmer to talk to them!

Honestly, Accounting Seed was the only one I focused on when looking to switch from our existing program. It showed in the partner app store and stated it was created native to SalesForce. As I read through it's capabilities, cost, etc., I knew it was the right choice.

Oracle Textura Payment Management is better and more refined than similar products. Procore has a ton of other useful features and GCPay is straightforward with a simple UI. Like most things in tech, it comes down to user base and Oracle Textura Payment Management has the most jobs of ours using it meaning it has the biggest positive impact on our business.

• Business users save time sending payments to suppliers and reimbursing employees since it is just by one click.
• The three-way POS match ensures that figures match on orders and invoices before paying suppliers.
• Capturing data on reports that are not submitted, approval times, and policy exceptions.
• Expense management and time tracking enable us to view the exact time taken to complete projects and the exact amount that should be paid.

• Oracle Textura Payment Management has dramatically improved our AR process (when the GC uses it). We wish that every job used it so we wouldn't have to deal with the dozens of builder-specific invoicing processes each month. Before Oracle Textura Payment Management, each builder had specific process we had to follow in order to get paid. After GCs started to use it, we have been able to consolidate multiple clients and jobs into a single easy-to-learn and easy-to-teach process that allows us to submit invoices easily and track when we are going to get paid.
