Oracle Textura Payment Management vs. Tipalti

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.

I would tell them that it manually syncs to ERPS. Additionally I would include the fact that you can pay multiple entities in one pay run allowing to be very efficient. I would also include that they can add rules to bill approvals or set up auto payments for certain vendors. Lastly, there are many reports you can run providing you will very informational data in seconds.

• Tipalti has a very user friendly interface, clearly laid out and easy to navigate
• The audit trail feature is hugely helpful to track an invoice's progress through the system
• Being able to schedule invoices to be paid exactly on their due date ensures we pay on time but not earlier than necessary
• We were able to put in strong controls around changes to vendor data

• 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.

• The report that provides the "Not payable" vendors does not work well for us, particularly because the sync to our ERP goes both ways, which means all of the employees also sync over to Tipalti and remain as Not Payable. So the list is very long, and I don't find a good use for it.

Solid system performance. Suits our needs and solution provider very inclined to accept feedback and involve users in developing the solution to serve both the provider and the ultimate user. Tipalti has streamlined our process that was previously very manual and prone to error. Now there is transparency of information and role.

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.

Two-time Tipalti selector, implementor, and user. The payment features in the app saves many steps in the payment process. No longer do you have to set-up or upload payment information to your bank and then go back to your accounting system and mark items as paid. Tipalti does all of this with a click of a mouse. The payment feature is the stand out feature. Many vendors can process your invoices. Look at how at the payment process of others.....you will see.

Tipalti has always been responsive to our questions and concerns.

No issues here. Generally has been pretty fast.

Since I also work in customer support, I often have to contact Tipalti's team with questions from our users. Tipalti's support team has always been exceptionally helpful and it was a pleasure to communicate with them. I have always received prompt responses to any inquiries and they are excellent at solving our customers' issues within a short time

The salesperson involved was involved in implementation which I found very helpful.

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.

From initial implementation through to user experience, Tipalti has been able to exceed our expectations in terms of its functionality and useability. We have found with other systems implemented in the past they did not match our expectations which resulted in us terminating these services.

I did not make the decision to purchase this product.

We were given the option of only one integration.

• 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.

• Vendor onboarding has taken the responsibility from one person to the Vendor directly. This provides the vendor with the ability to enter their own banking information for payments and upload their Federal W9 form.
• Vendors can upload their own invoices to the system, taking the possibility that our AP team did not receive an emailed or mailed invoice to upload. This also increases payment efficiency as the vendor's invoice is processed in a more timely manner.
• AP can review invoices for accuracy and concentrate on how to code an invoice, rather than be a paper pusher or a data entry clerk. AP doesn't spend time searching for invoices that might be a duplicate, the system will communicate this on the software review process and if AP has uploaded by email the same invoice multiple times, an email will be sent to AP to indicate that the invoice was not uploaded due to duplication.
