    Deluxe works great for us as we have a decent number of payments that go through them. I believe it would not be efficient for a smaller company who did not receive a lot of checks or electronic payments. Our volume warrants outsourcing of payment processing as it saves us a lot of time in-house. I would weigh the costs of the service against the time and payroll it costs your company.

    Esker On Demand is great for Sales Order Processing order creation. We use it with web services. It can make table read calls, test order creations (simulate order), and help with order creation. They are also working on change order management, but if you have multiple order entry methods or touch points, this feature may not be usable for your company.

    • We can't enter credit memos in Esker. Need to enter in SAP and then link.
    • PO invoices that were trained to go into the PO bucket, route into the non-PO buckets.
    • Freight invoices that have had hundreds going into the non-PO bucket have a tendency to route to the PO-bucket because a PO number is referenced on page 7.

    Usability
    Deluxe
    It is more useful for large companies who have to make payments on large scale. The reason for less rating is because it is not useful for business who have less volume as the Deluxe Payment Exchange+ software needs customized setup required which can be less flexible and costlier to smaller organizations. The software can be improved and available at less cost to businesses who have less transactions.

    Esker
    Esker does everything that it promises to do, but it is very hard to figure out. I am a very tech-savvy person, but I needed extensive training to be able to use the basic functions of Esker. Once you know what you're doing, it's not too hard, but I don't understand why they couldn't make it easier to use.

    It was used as an alternate app as it user friendly and has similar cost compared to Plooto. Also it offers most of the features that Plooto is offering. But Plooto is useful for small businesses which Deluxe Payment Exchange+ is missing the needs of organizations with less transactions.

    Esker
    I have listed a few that we considered but there were many more in the initial assessment, Esker was priced well and had the best user interface. Was really easy to use and the implementation process was well designed. It was a system that could handle a two tiered delegations of authority for project expenditure and operational expenditure.

    Return on Investment
    Deluxe
    • It's allowed company growth with the need for extra accounts staff
    • Allowed for easier payment management on the go
    • Gone a good way to pay for itself on extra staff and resources not needed

    Esker
    • We now have reporting available down to the individual field level (changes, errors, etc) and can calculate cost to serve.
    • It replaced on-premise hardware with cloud SaaS that is more cost effective and risk adverse.
    • It is more intuitive; we can put new hires on order entry and experience less user errors. As a solution owner who fixes problems and answers questions, I don't find myself having to "think" about Esker and it has become a smaller part of my job now that end-users are more self-sufficient.
