    Brex
    Very well suited for founders who are building companies in the US but are not US citizens. Works like a charm for start-ups who are looking for a cutting-edge product and not an outdated bank! Small-medium teams. Not well suited for those who are used to traditional banking and prefer in-person interaction or over the phone.

    We are using Tungsten with the former Readsoft OCR Products and Ebydos webcycles. All incoming paper-based invoices, delivery documents, advices, etc. will be scanned and digitized incl. OCR by Tungsten. They are highly integrated in SAP processes and own developments. Tungsten Ebydos Webcycle is used for approval workflows for deviations in orders, PO volume, pricing, etc. This is also fully integrated in SAP workflows, incl. own developments.

    Pros
    Brex
    • Rewards - The rewards were the main reason for us switching. Our previous card provider did not have a good rewards program.
    • User Interface and experience - When a charge is recorded on the Brex card, users immediately receive a text notification asking them to send a picture of their receipt. Brex automatically attaches the receipts to the charge which has saved our users a significant amount of time.

    Usability

    The usability is pretty great. I love the UI / UX for uploading the Memo; at times, I do not even need to be inside the platform. I simply use Slack.

    Prompt and always extremely fast to respond. I also think the intuitiveness of their solution negates the need for much support

    Divvy allows you to get hyper focused in on how much individuals are allowed to spend. Honestly it is comparable to Brex, but is more well suited for micromanaging organizational spend. Brex is good because I am able to give my employees limits that match our budgets and I don't care about micromanaging their spend.
