Board is a useful tool with a great set of features. We migrated from human apps to board and we find it relatively fast in search results and better-managed threads and forums. There are some areas, such as UI and interactions which could be improved but overall a great product. The learning section is also pretty good.

The School of Life has many big corporates clients who uses other onboarding and payment platforms which are not very user friendly. But Tipalti is extremely user friendly so this stands out very well. Suppliers want to get on-board smoothly as possible and have no issues with payment. This is where Tipalti comes in and helps with this process

  • When an invoice is uploaded to Tipalti, it can autofill the info into the software, making my life a lot easier and saving me time!
  • I can track the status of whether an invoice is paid, avoiding having to send out lots of slacks and emails to find out the status.
  • It allows me to work over multiple time zones, so I don't need to communicate all the information directly to the finance team, it cuts out the middle man!
  • I get an email to approve the invoice so I don't even need to log in!

Cons
Board International
  • Board BI tool has a steep learning curve and can be challenging for a new user to reach to board's full capacity.
  • We have to use a windows scheduler to schedule data import tasks; it would be great if Board could provide its own scheduler.

  • They have shut down payments on key vendors who had attempted to update their address. I would rather they notify us so we can resolve with the vendor without delaying payments.
  • Many of the notifications we get do not include the vendor number. This leads us to have to get in touch with the vendor just to obtain a vendor ID before taking the notice any further.
  • There can be delays up to half hour from the time we wire funds to our Tipalti account and when they become available to use. They have an early deadline, 11 PST that requires some accommodation to get payments out on time.

Board is a fantastic product for swift BI solution delivery when compared with its peers. Ease of use, support and integration with Microsoft Office Addin open a wide horizon of opportunities for further enhancements to solutions.

Usability
Board International
From a user perspective, Board is quite simple to use. You
can evaluate the presentation of the data, the navigation, the configuration of
the users, the selection of the data etc ... It would have a better rating if
it were even more intuitive as regards the construction of a project, starting
from the database, to the info-cubes, to entities, to data acquisition
procedures from other servers.

It was very quick and easy to create multiple department approvals. It is a first time user it flowed seamlessly. I’m able to find exactly the data I need and make the work flow faster. The multiple submission detector is fantastic as some invoices are sent to multiple departments and knowing it was previously submitted, versus having to hand sort and verify duplicates of invoices, saves a lot of time

Support Rating
Board International
The only time I needed assistance was due to a problem in
the prints: the colors of the brochures as they were on the screen were not
reproduced in the print, but a series of standard colors were reproduced. This
fact made colored numbers on a colored background illegible. From the
assistance they confirmed that it was a problem of version 10.2 that occurred
when leaving the brochures with the default colors proposed by Board. To obtain
the desired colors, they had to be personalized ... I didn't like the solution
very much and the technician who recommended it didn't like me either, but they
would have solved the problem with the following versions. In any case, the
assistance was quick and effective even if not exactly efficient.

Implementation Rating
Board International
The problem of user profiling in our context is certainly
quite complex. The complexity is given by the fact that the company is divided
territorially into logistic points of sale, but at the same time they are
virtually divided into divisions (or specific implementation areas) and points
of sale of competence. The same operator can have access to data at different
logistic sales points, sales points of competence and divisions.

Board has been more complete when compared to Anaplan. Although I didn't participate in the buying decision of any of those products I have used both and by far Board just has more features. It's more than a CPM, it's BI and CPM put together. If I had to make a choice now it would be Board.

  • We have taken away the manual process of sending out payments via various methods (PayPal, wires, checks, ACH, etc.) ourselves and now just send the bill directly to Tipalti which handles all the payments. This saves employees' time.
  • The onboarding process is much more streamlined since Tipalti collects all of the tax form information.
  • Our clients appreciate the transparency of the processing fee costs and getting emails when payments are sent.
  • Better security for our clients as they get an email alert when there are changes to the account and sensitive information is kept secure.
