Quadient Accounts Payable by Beanworks is an accounts payable solution that uses custom rules to automate and show every step of an organization's AP workflow, and is used to route POs, invoices, and payment approvals.
AvidXchange is well suited for companies with multiple locations where approvals may be hard to get directly. A user can log on when they have time basically from anywhere to review, code and approve invoices. This would allow for processing of invoices centrally more efficiently then with appear invoices being moved from one place to another to be processed
it is very well suited for organizations that process a medium sized amount of invoices each month. It helps for companies that struggle with time consuming processes and are looking to cut down on administrative time. It is very helpful for smaller businesses that want to cut down on administrative time and costs. it may not be ideal for companies processing substantial amounts of invoices as some of the automation and machine learning can be improved to better speed up processing
Our contractors and vendors can submit invoices electronically through AvidBill, removing the tedious task of sorting and coding mail. This feature saves on time and administrative duties.
Communication is key, and being able to log a comment or question in AvidInvoice allows for clarification and expedited approval process.
Having multiple properties, having the Property Code and % Allocation features allow us to ensure the correct entity is charged it's portion of expenses. For example, we may have a service that is coded to all 32 properties. With AvidInvoice we are able to allocate each entity's pro rata share of the invoice.
AvidPay needs some improvement to minimize the amount of time it takes to issue payment for invoices
The search features within AvidXchange on the advanced search screen sometimes do not function correctly (sorting by ascending / descending order doesn't work all of the time).
The log enhancement follow-up procedure could use some work.
I wish the export function allowed more options for the posting date of invoices. All invoices have the same posting date once they reach Sage 300, but this must be changed when they reach the transaction file. We should have the option of using the invoice date as the posting date or a selected date.
AvidXchange is very easy to use and the customer service is always there is you need help or more training. New employees even comment on how easy it is to pickup the program.
Very easy to use, sometimes searching can be difficult but there are many files and documents. Overall, when I started using the program it was very easy to learn and now has been great as I learn more features and have gotten used to it. The layout looks a bit dated but thats no issue
We are presently evaluating a move to Concur Invoice, not because of any real lack of functionality from AvidXchange, but simply because we have other business functions already on Concur Invoice. From what we have seen so far, the functionality is similar, though I believe Concur Invoice is more expensive.
We use this Quadient Accounts Payable program for cheque processing because it is Canadian and works well for us. We found too many delays with an American-based company that had to send mail from the US to Canada.
