Fidesic vs. Webexpenses

My experience with Fidesic has been wonderful and it has helped to streamline our payables. We've been able to give our operations teams access in order for them to review their invoices instead of coming to the AP team to do the research.

It's great that it is very easy to add documents, such as receipts, in different document formats, including PDF and Word. I use the system throughout the month, and add the expense line into the claim when it happens, rather than doing it all at the same time at the end of the month - this helps me to keep track of expenses owed and miles driven throughout the month. It would be great if I were able to save regular locations when adding mileage.

It depends if alternative systems for other functions (HR / Payroll) have expenses functionality included as a supplementary service. If they’re part of a total system then having a separate system for expenses when another system provides the functionality (even if mildly less efficient, etc) then it wouldn’t be viable

It is simple to use. Things are intuitive even for a first time user. UI can be improved to make it have a more modern feel. But the current UI is simple and elegant. Different sections for claims, reports and receipts make it easy to get things sorted and quickly access them when needed.

The soft ware is reliable. The phone app works well and allows you to upload evidence, receipts, log mileage and log expenses. It works well and is rarely locked or there are very few times the app is down. The laptop based software is easy to access and again is always available

The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.

All went well.

It was difficult to train multiple people via video, as they learned at different speeds, and most of the user champions were not as capable with systems and finance processes as our dept.

As long as you have people that are fully aware of the setup steps to get users into the software then I would see no issues arising for any company.

PaperSave was a complete bust for us. Their OCR was terrible and never really worked. Their customer service was an abomination and we were hung up on by their trainer. GP just could not handle the volume of checks that we had and we were using a lot of MICR ink which became very expensive along with the amount of check stock we were using. Fidesic has streamlined all of that for us and allowed us to process bills and payments but not get bogged down in the stuffing of envelopes.

I think Webexpenses' core strength is VAT reclaim and compliance, especially for UK/EU businesses. Unlike Expensify or card-centric Pleo, Webexpenses' system and dedicated local support are built to maximize recovery by automatically capturing and applying correct VAT rates, ensuring compliant documentation, and integrating smoothly with local accounting systems like Sage.

Every department in my organization uses webexpenses. My role and the role of others involves travel, expenses and mileage. Everyone uses the app to log details, upload receipts and to claim allowable expenses. having spoken to everyone within my team and wider directorate, i do not know of anyone who has had issues with the app
