ALTO Exchange vs. Expensify

This is a good portal for accounting and even sales personel to use in their jobs if they are needing to access purchase orders from our customers

Expensify has been incredibly useful to me for many years. Considering I am using the free version, it's hard to find a better value! If your company does not have a good expense-capturing system, Expensify will save you hours on submitting reports. You can take a picture and toss the paper receipts right at the point of sale without worrying about losing them during your travels. If you have a small business, you can use it to track and organize regular expenses to make billable expenses and end-of-year taxes a whole lot easier.

• Clean easy to navigate interface
• Excellent and accurate customer service
• Easy to get activated for both customer and vendor relations

• Submitting expenses. It's easy to enter an expense, choose a category, enter the dollar amount and submit it. That's about it.
• Uploading receipts. You can send receipts to Expensify from your phone, or upload them from your computer.
• Entering hours worked. It's simple to move from expenses over to timesheets to submit the hours that you've worked.

• When submitting an invoice and error is generated the error is not too clear on how to fix the issue
• Ability to scan or upload PDF invoice to customer
• Email confirmation that invoice has been successfully submitted

• Make it easier to submit multiple receipts/files in one expense
• Often times I get a warning that the value of a receipt doesn't match what I manually I inputted. So making Smart scanner a little smarter, essentially.
• It would be fun to see stats about my expenses

We like using the tool and we receive positive feedback from employees and management who use the tool. It saves time and helps us concentrate on the value adding activities so we are very likely to keep using Expensify in the future

Mobile works great, but let's be honest. It's just a photograph. Their OCR and human turk technology works great to scan that photo and enter the proper information. The web interface is decent and allows you to work with single expenses in great detail. What's missing is the ability to mass update expenses, and this sometimes hurts, especially if you're a heavy user of the system.

Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.

N/A this was setup by my customer for us to use

Concur was a great product as well but Expensify offers the ability to quickly upload expenses and submit reports just the same. There is no free version with Concur, so for a small business that's interested in keeping costs down I would highly recommend Expensify.

• Too early to tell just started using it

• Our organization no longer spends countless hours per month orchestrating the consolidation of data (MS Excel, typically) into our general ledger.
• Our accounting department is no longer tasked with making sure the correct individuals have approved submitted reports.
• Our accountants have a much easier time coding the reports that have been submitted by users. For the most part, we rely on users to code their submissions to the correct accounts.
