Basware Procure-to-Pay vs. Routespring

I would definitely recommend using Basware Purchase to Pay in your organization, it handles high amounts of invoices efficiently and you can perform your work with ease. I am acting as a Basware superuser in my team so I know this software thoroughly and it rarely gives any issues, even errors are described in a clear way so the user knows what needs to be resolved/what is missing.

Routespring is definitely well suited for companies looking to keep track of all of their employee travel in one place, set a cap on spending for flights, provide reports when needed on travel costs and eliminate the need for employees to collect multiple receipts to turn in for travel reimbursement at the end of a trip. It is a simple platform to use once you get the hang of it, which really doesn't take that long if you are even mildly tech-savvy. As a non-profit with guests who were booking travel to our annual conference from all over the world, we did run into a few things that didn't quite fit (ex: couples booking together have to choose their spouse under the "employees" tab, and we had to make certain we had every single email address domain name our guests were using entered on the backend, so they were able to book with that email address). But these were small details and not deal breakers for us using the platform.

• It's easy to process invoices in a very short amount of time due to the fact that you can save your frequently used fields as favorites
• The system is extremely easy to use as there are only a few steps required for complete processing of invoices
• The ability to create and save templates of commonly used coding makes coding of invoices is fast and easy
• Often times no interaction is even needed for invoice processing as received items and POs will match up on the back end with no intervention

• User-friendly approval process
• Centralized payments for all travel
• Excellent & very responsive customer service and account management
• Flexible budget controls

• Once you cancel the document in "cancellation queue" it cannot be restored or viewed.
• Sometimes but relatively rarely the program opens slowly.
• In rare instances the program freezes and needs to be restarted.

• It's hard to tell where to go to book a flight right after you create an account.
• It is a pretty basic design - I think they'd raise confidence in their tech skills even further if the site were a little flashier.
• The site is geared toward companies whose employees all have the same email address domain. However, they are able to accommodate different email addresses if you provide them so they can add the domains to your account.

We will continue using product and continue renewing as it is widely used product and it has been well adapted by users in our organization. The product is expensive but we will use it. Hopefully the product bugs will be fixed in future and they will provide more HA architecture feather for Basware.

I gave Routespring this rating because it is easy to use for bulk booking and guest travel management, centralizes travel and event planning to reduce manual work, and is reliable and practical with fewer errors and better tracking, saving time and improving efficiency across teams, even though there is room for improvement in speed, integrations, and reporting.

After trying for weeks to (unsuccessfully) set up an account with another online booking agency, we contacted Routespring to see if they could help us based on the great reviews we saw. It took them about three days total to have everything in place and ready for our guests to start booking their flights while ticket prices were still reasonable. They have been attentive to all of our needs, respond quickly and professionally to guest questions, and are a lot of fun to work with as well. We couldn't have asked for a better partner for this project!

Basware was not my selection as I was not with the company at the time. It was easy to learn and we have maintained a good working relationship with Basware. It is a very good way to process the workflow of invoices from start to finish

At the time, TripActions did not have sufficient price controls or out of policy approval process for us to continue using them. Routespring makes it very easy to have visibility and control on our travel spend

• it's user friendly so not much training is needed to use the system
• templates and favorites decreases time spent

• Overall we have saved 55% by switching to Routespring from TripActions
