AvidXchange vs. vCita

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 makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Great for online appointment bookings.
• Good for taking payments.
• Good for onboarding new clients.
• Integrates with your website.
• Integrates with Facebook Pages.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Payment collection: We want to have an option to allow clients to choose the amount they wish to pay.
• Improved ease of use with forms.

At the moment we have a contract for another year, we are hoping there is improvement with the company to decide if we stay with them or change.

Except the one difficult/cumbersome point I made, it is a strong, solid, easy-to-use system.

Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work).

Incentivized

Except for occasional escalations needed to Level 2 support, they are efficient and quick with nearly all requests.

I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours.

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.

I liked vCita a lot more for my home services company mainly because it handled scheduling through the software which was terrific.

Incentivized

• AvidXchange allows our office to be more productive on invoice approvals.
• Overall, AvidXchange is saving us money. We do not have to courier invoices back and forth once signatures have been provided.
• You can approve invoices from anywhere as long as you have internet access.

Incentivized

• I have no clue
• I'm assuming that we would not have people making appointments with us if we didn't have this service
