Pleo vs. Stampli

Pleo is ideal for SMBs looking to streamline their expense management processes. It offers a cost-effective solution for controlling and tracking expenses without the complexity of larger enterprise systems.Startups often have limited resources and need efficient expense tracking. Pleo's user-friendly interface and real-time expense data can help startups maintain control over their spending. for businesses that provide company cards to employees. It allows for easy card issuance, spending control, and real-time tracking of card transactions.

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).

• Expense Tracking and Management
• Compliance and Policy Adjerence
• Cost Control with streamlined reimbursements

• Learning - Billy the bot learns much quicker than our previous OCR.
• Global lookup - we have multiple entities which creates a challenge for finding invoices entered in the wrong place. Stampli has removed this issue.
• Maximizing manpower - reduces the need for more personnel.

• The software doesn't locate invoice details (such as invoice total) after the 1st page
• Invoice discrepancy reporting could be easier and more robust

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.

A lot of checks and balances in the system that are an accountant's dream - just takes some time to understand the new process to get up to speed.

Never an issue with downtime

Very fast and no issues with the Sage Intacct integration

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.

Excellent documentation, step-by-step instructions

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.

1.its user-friendliness and ease of use, making it suitable for our company 2.cost-effective with a straightforward pricing model and lower initial setup costs. 3.simplifies company card management and provides real-time expense tracking

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

I would not change anything

Ease of deployment both domestic and international

• improving efficiency
• providing valuable financial insight
• Improved Compliance:
• Visibility and Reporting

• 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.
