NexusPayables is well suited for your invoice tracking and payments, especially for medium to large businesses. I would not recommend for smaller companies because I don't see the value for them. Once trained, the system is useful. However, the user interface is confusing without proper training and is not user-friendly. I highly suggest businesses invest in a specific set of people to be trained so that they can teach others to use the program.

I've been doing accounting for businesses as part of the staff for 30 years. Finally, someone figured out how to improve the tired / old fashioned AP process. Tipalti is the best tool you can implement whether you are remote, hybrid, or office based. Amazing efficiency gained with this app / tool.

  • In the PO matching queue, there is some clunkiness surrounding updating PO lines. For example, if you need to delete PO lines picked up from the invoice, you currently have to delete each line individually, instead of being able to select multiple and delete.
  • Sometimes PO numbers do not properly pick up from the OCR system. For example, the OCR might pick up "PO 18535" instead of "18535". This causes the AP team to have to manually link the PO, creating an extra step.
  • For PO-backed Invoices that require you to manually type in the PO amount, there is no option to save your inputs. If there are any changes to the match details (i.e. linking another PO, or unlinking a PO) all inputs are reset to blank.
  • If there are non PO line items for an invoice that is in the PO matching queue, there is no option to select a separate department code for that line item.

Tipalti developed a workflow us that has improved our efficiency in onboarding vendors and processing payments. They also ensure that we have all the required tax forms from the vendor before a payment goes out.

The system is incredibly easy to use, with most tasks being completed in a small number of clicks. The user interface is very user intuitive and can be navigated very easily. Multiple payments can be made instantaneously and as the vendors manage their payable account we are able to ensure that payments are being sent to the right account. The advanced functionality for duplicate invoices ensures that we are not processing bills twice and we have found that in 100% of cases it has identified a duplicate bill.

NexusPayables FAQ and Help sections are not extraordinarily helpful. They will answer some questions, but most often, I have to bother my accounting co-workers because of the way the system is set up NexusPayables themselves can't help me most of the time. They tell me to refer to the program administrator.

Our company uses both at the moment, and I find that Concur Invoice is a much more user-friendly interface that is easy to use, easy to navigate, and extremely efficient. Unfortunately, we only use Concur Invoice for personal expenses and company credit card reconciliations at the moment, which is why we use NexusPayables for vendors.

SAP Concur did not have consistent invoice entry. Depending on who at SAP Concur entered your invoice, the vendor could be incorrect, the vendor number could be missing a digit, the amount of the invoice entered wrong, etc. We had too many issues with SAP Concur because they did not use OCR for invoice entry. Too many mistakes were caught during the invoice review process. Also, determining the stage an invoice was in was impossible to determine. You couldn't just search by invoice number one time, you had to search in all stages (invoice uploaded, invoice review, invoice processed). Another huge problem was that we used another software to make payments on the invoices. SAP Concur would fail sometimes on extracting an invoice to sync with our other software. We would not receive notification of the failure. Most times we would hear from a vendor that we did not make a payment and discover at that time that the invoice failed to sync with the system. If we reviewed the statement, we would have to check in two systems to see if it made it through both systems. With Tipalti, you only need to check with their system.
