Klippa vs. Zoho Expense

Klippa does well with invoices without graphics and logos. If you can convince your suppliers to remove their branding and submit plain company names it will perform better. One issue that I could not overcome was when a supplier used "SO" (for Sales Order) as the prefix for an invoice. Every time the OCR ran it deciphered this as "S0" S-Zero. I wouldn't downgrade my rating based on that though. My one significant disappointment was I was led to believe that they would tailor the template for us. There was some minor work around our local tax rules but when it got to specific coding for our purchase order numbers the work ceased. To be fair, I may have misunderstood the scope of what changing these templates was included in the agreement. Either way, we could work around it so it wasn't a major flaw.

Zoho Expense is wonderful when you have a distributed or remote team or workforce that needs to submit expenses reports throughout the month into a single software and approval system. Zoho Expense does make it easy to train, onboard, and use all of the end-user features for submitting and generating expense reports.

• Identifies invoice numbers.
• Extracts text from any angle - 45 degrees and upside down.
• Extracts line items from a printed invoice.

• The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
• Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

Incentivized

• More flexibility in tailoring the templates to suit individual customers.
• Better documentation around the API; as I recall it was hard to find.
• Commercial follow up. No one has contacted me since my initial purchase.

• Could have more default options. Instead of making my users select payment method, allow us to default it to one of the options.
• More room for customization by department. My service department needs different categories of expenses then my sales department.

Probably the easiest Zoho Application to setup, which is to say quite easy. No user has complained about it being difficult. Admin staff like it as well.

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

Klippa is optimised for invoices. Wins hands down.

I've used Concur in the past for managing and submitting expenses. When comparing what I know about Zoho to Concur, Zoho seems to be a more simplified tool focused on simply managing expenses, inputting, tracking, submitting and getting reimbursed. Based on what I know, Zoho gets the job done with no frills.

• To early to tell, our app has been delayed due to other COVID related activities.

Incentivized

• We have had some issues with the credit card reconciliation process which has made our monthly accounting / close process. This has been a negative
• Positive ROI is that team members spend less time on expense reports due to the ease of reporting
• Positive ROI is that substantial training and onboarding is not needed due to the features and simplicity.
