Maxio vs. Oracle Textura Payment Management

In my opinion, Maxio is well suited for a large company with simple products/billing scenarios and 10s of thousands of dollars available to waste on implementation, learning curve, and mistakes. For any other company, I do not advise purchasing Maxio.

For a GC that wants to make things easier for both the themselves and all subs, this is absolutely the best solution out there. Some GCs still approve changes using purchase orders rather than change orders and allow invoicing to occur at any time during the month However, they should change their process to align with Oracle Textura Payment Management's draws. Without a draw process and confirmed invoice submission along with ACH payments, we have had invoices lost, payments lost, and time lost from having to track all of it. I can't think of a reason it would not be appropriate.

• Managing deferred revenue.
• Contract management is flexible and allows us to see data that we never had before.
• Billing is painless and is now done within a couple hours. Previously it would take at least 1-2 days.
• Business Metrics and Reporting.

• Options for Cash-based businesses. While it's not GAAP compliant and most users are accrual, many SaaS start ups are still small and operating on a cash basis.
• Commissions Module since SO already has all our data intergrations
• So many different features and data entry points that manual data entry errors are common

• Task Management needs a "Mark all as Read" or similar function. They pile up per job and are only able to be completed using certain links and processes.
• Payment Notification emails should include payment details including amount(s), joint check info, and check numbers.
• Projects should be able to be removed or archived by the subcontractor. We have jobs showing on our home page that are 3+ years since completion.
• Retention billing is very confusing and should be communicated more clearly. There should also be a button that allows for all retention to be billed at once rather than having to type in the amount per line item.
• Sub-Tiers should not be a menu to click through if there are no sub-tiers for a sub.

They are a crucial piece of what we do. We hope to have them as a vendor for a long time to come.

There is definitely a learning curve - to me the UI for reporting was not intuitive and often required me to ask our RevOps to pull data for me

Although there are minor improvements to be made, Oracle Textura Payment Management is far and away the easiest payment solution out there for any invoicing procedure that requires monthly draws.

They are willing to help with most challenges and are pretty easy to get ahold of by phone. They are limited in their reach, when it comes to bulk cancellations, along with some other bulk edits. It is no fault to them, Chargify is just a system that hasn’t been upgraded much over the years.

I inherited SaaSOptics from several predecessors that worked on it before me. I believe they used Chargebee or Chargify before SaaSOptics, but I haven't used them. I pray that the market comes up with a better product for subscription revenue management, SaaS metric reporting, and financial projections. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or the team to be able to successfully complete the transition to new software at this time, so I feel like I'm stuck with SaaSOptics at this point

Oracle Textura Payment Management is better and more refined than similar products. Procore has a ton of other useful features and GCPay is straightforward with a simple UI. Like most things in tech, it comes down to user base and Oracle Textura Payment Management has the most jobs of ours using it meaning it has the biggest positive impact on our business.

• Limitations in Chargify's invoicing capability has resulted in our finance team having to manually send invoices from our accounting system. This has resulted in 10-15 hours a week of resource wasted on something that Chargify should automatically do. If this isn't addressed, then the wasted time will increase as we scale.

• Oracle Textura Payment Management has dramatically improved our AR process (when the GC uses it). We wish that every job used it so we wouldn't have to deal with the dozens of builder-specific invoicing processes each month. Before Oracle Textura Payment Management, each builder had specific process we had to follow in order to get paid. After GCs started to use it, we have been able to consolidate multiple clients and jobs into a single easy-to-learn and easy-to-teach process that allows us to submit invoices easily and track when we are going to get paid.
