Stampli offers software to run any procure-to-pay (P2P) process — and Billy, an AI employee, to operate it. The platform unifies Procurement, Invoice Management, and Payments in one system that automates AP while keeping teams in control.
I like [Sage] Intacct [more] because it's manual. Sometimes on Stampli, it will fill all the info automatically. And sometimes, we have errors because of that.
Sage Intacct is better for payments but Stampli has a good thing going with its use of AI and ease of processing invoices. That is what we use it for. To allow faster ways of getting the invoices into the system. It then links to Sage Intacct and Sage Intacct takes over from …
Sage Intacct is definitely superior to these. Stampli is used for invoice processing, it is good but limited, Intacct is definitely more powerful and includes many more services. Although I am not very familiar with Quickbooks, from the little that I saw, it is not nearly as …
I selected Sage Intacct because it is useful for small and big enterprises. It is easy to maintain books of accounts. It is easy to generate reports. It is easy to customize reports as per our requirements. It is easy to maintain Time and Expense module. It is easy to maintain …
We have also used ‘The BILL’ application for Controllership, Accounts Payables and Receivables for processing the Bills or Invoices, applying the money and once the data gets integrated with Sage Intacct through a regular sync, Sage Intacct comes up with the financial …
We use BILL workflow for AP which very user-friendly experience with Sage Intacct. We almost don’t get into Sage Intacct for Accounts Payable once it is integrated as Sage Intacct works very well with BILL. We also have the same kind of experience which is easy to integrate. We …
QuickBooks Online is great for small businesses as it is very user-friendly and extremely easy to use. To do this functionality is a bit lacking on some controls. Also, its reporting and dashboard features were very lacking. Both Oracle NetSuite and Sage Intacct are the top …
I think QuickBooks is for dummies and for regular bookkeepers. It does not have the same reconciliations and error checking and error-free proofing that Sage Intacct provides. On the same note, Intacct is a bit more complex to use but once trained in and working with the system …
I think its easier to use Stampli or to be able to edit something if you make an error in Sage Intacct sometimes you cannot correct them and on the books everything looks messy, that's why I love Stampli because you can double-check everything before to be authorized.

Chose Stampli
We selected Stampli due to the OCR and AI technologies that captures invoice data in real time plus the easy user interface. In comparing the two systems Stampli just appeared to outperform Bill.com.
Stampli's ease of use far exceeds that of Bill.com or Divvy. Almost every click is recorded in the audit trail and navigating within the portal is intuitive. Each tab is set up in order to follow the process flow, making even the newest of users comfortable.
It depends on the scale and nature of the organisation, but for a business like ours, i.e. a medium sized business with several entities operating in more than one location with different currencies, I think it is a very good fit. It is relatively easy to get to grips with and provides a good level of functionality.
The Stampli tech is very good in processing our transactions and linking to our accounting system. And even for any pain points encountered, we have worked with their tech and customer rep teams (specifically [...]) to promptly resolve the matter in a seamless and pain free way (unlike our previous invoice processing provider).
Excellent roll-up reporting of various categories of expenses across multiple depts. Data is not siloed when we want to find all revenue sources across business entities, for example, or even down to details such as what is spent on "discretionary" expense elements.
Coding nomenclature is flexible and makes sense across business areas. Again, this allows for both more effective capture of data and with reporting slices and iterations.
Sage Intacct's open architecture (availability of APIs and already existing hooks) has made integration with other system tool-sets easier than we would ever have thought.
Sage Intacct is continuously evolving and increasing it's functionalities. I am excited to attend conferences to learn what is in the roadmap for future releases. Additionally, using Sage Intacct allows me grow as a professional, I am really enjoy the knowledge that I have within the product to be able to share my experiences.
I cannot imagine going back to pre-Stampli processes. Our jobs in the Accounting department (not just AP) have all become more engaging because we've cut out so much mindless, non-value added work: data entry, signing checks, stuffing envelopes, stamping envelopes, etc.
The ease of use as a seasoned user is wonderful; however, new users struggle to adapt to the program efficiently. Better training videos--all in one location--would be beneficial. The use of a "sandbox" environment is a great tool for new employees or for the fiscal department to test certain journal entries or other transactions to verify accuracy of data.
There has only been one occurrence where Sage Intacct was not available to me, however I had already been working a number of hours trying to get a project completed. It honestly allowed me to step back and take a much needed break.
As fas as integration is concerned I don't feel this slows Sage Intacct down at all. However, sometimes I do feel it takes some larger reports more time to load due to all the detail. As well as, I "move very fast" in my motions so sometimes I double click on fuctions too quickly and the system seems to think that I have a duplicate request.
Only a few times have we had to reach out to support, and every time we did, we received a relatively quick response and a solution was found fairly quickly. Only once was there an issue that took longer than a week to resolve, but it still did eventually get solved.
We have a dedicated rep (who was also our implementation rep--they stay with you after implementation) who we can email whenever needed and meet with every quarter. There is a chat option within the software that gets responded to by a real person within minutes.
I have taken in person training classes at several of the annual Sage Intacct user conferences. It is very interactive and the trainers are very easy to follow and understand. They are great at getting everyone in the class involved. They also make sure everyone has learned to task before moving to a new one.
The free training is very minimal. For what we pay for the service, I would like more training. We end up training new users in-house because the provided free training is not nearly comprehensive enough. That being said, the training provided, for the material covered, was adequate and relevant for the given topics.
I would not use a thrid party administrator to implement your system, especially if you are going to be modifying the system at all. Use Intacct implementors as they will be able to better support you on any issues that come up after you go live.
We lost an AP employee right as we were deciding to implement, so we had to speed up our timeline. We went from signing the contract to fully functional system within 4 weeks. We did not dedicate any more than 4 hours per week during the implementation.
We evaluated Sage Intacct alongside many other options, but Blackbaud and NetSuite were the frontrunners. They all were cloud-based and capable systems, but for our team, Sage Intacct was the clearer choice for a few reasons. First, usability. Our team has varying levels of accounting experience, and Sage felt more intuitive across those different levels. The others could be powerful, but it also felt like it required more technical depth to navigate day-to-day, which was a concern for a small team. Second, functionality out of the box. Sage Intacct had more of what we needed built in without requiring a significant number of add-ons, which kept the solution simpler and the pricing more predictable. Third, nonprofit fit. Sage Intacct is purpose-built for organizations like ours, and that showed in the functionality available and the system's overall design. And finally, our implementation partner, RSM, was well-versed in Sage Intacct and gave us confidence that we would have the right support behind us. That partnership was part of the overall value of choosing Sage.
Tipalti was not system friendly to what we needed (syncing with NetSuite) and the implementation process was frustrating. We experienced delays and no responses from their team. Stampli has been the complete opposite! It's user friendly, from approvers to coders, reasonably priced, and their team members are responsive, caring, and genuine in getting you set up for success
Positive - It runs better than our old software when we all work together, rather than having to sign off on each other and deal with syncing issues.
Negative - It's not as easy to go back to fix an amount, a date, etc. Sometimes, a very small mistake needs to be corrected by voiding and redoing the entire transaction.
We can successfully sync other software we use with Intacct! It reduces workload when things are automated.
The best testament to Stampli is that is has decreased DTP (days to process) by over 3 days.
It has transformed invoice approval. No invoices are being sent duplicate times for approval by error. Stampli does a great job at identifying duplicate invoices.
