ExpenseNet vs. Neat

ExpenseNet is well suited to a large organization with many travelers or purchasing cards holders. It allows the entire expense reporting process to be done electronically. For employees who are not based on site or not based at the same site as their manager and accounting, it really streamlines the process compared to having paper or even e-mailed expense reports. The wholly electronic process also enables easier reporting and auditing. ExpenseNet would likely be less appropriate for small organizations with few travelers.

If you need a program to keep all of your receipts in one place and have the ability to report on them, then Neat is the program you want. Also, if you want to get rid of all the business cards you have laying around but keep the contact info, Neat is the program you need.

Incentivized

• Integration with expenses posted to the employee's corporate card account.
• Feature that allows an employee to take a picture of their receipt and then send it to their ExpenseNet account via e-mail.
• Ability to view and save a copy of the expense report with or without the receipts.

Incentivized

• Neat keeps all of your charge card receipts in one place.
• Neat makes it easy to do your monthly breakdown of charges into categories.

Incentivized

• Overall the look and feel is dated and the navigation is clunky. Even employees who travel a lot will only go into the system once a month to do their expense report. A more user-friendly interface would take some of the chore out of it.
• The feature to take a picture of a receipt and then e-mail it to your ExpenseNet account is great, but it does not always work, which can be frustrating to redo
• It would be handy if just as the charges from the corporate card are imported, the statement could be as well. This would eliminate the need for the employee to go into their corporate card account to download and save the statement and then attach it in ExpenseNet.
• It is senseless that once you add a receipt to the queue, you cannot delete it until after you have submitted the given report. Sometimes, a duplicate receipt will be loaded or a receipt will be loaded in error. To have to work around it in the queue is rather annoying.

Incentivized

• Wish it had the ability to edit business cards, i.e. lighten dark ones.
• Wish you could scan 2 pages into one receipt - to include backup.
