    Routespring is definitely well suited for companies looking to keep track of all of their employee travel in one place, set a cap on spending for flights, provide reports when needed on travel costs and eliminate the need for employees to collect multiple receipts to turn in for travel reimbursement at the end of a trip. It is a simple platform to use once you get the hang of it, which really doesn't take that long if you are even mildly tech-savvy. As a non-profit with guests who were booking travel to our annual conference from all over the world, we did run into a few things that didn't quite fit (ex: couples booking together have to choose their spouse under the "employees" tab, and we had to make certain we had every single email address domain name our guests were using entered on the backend, so they were able to book with that email address). But these were small details and not deal breakers for us using the platform.

    easy of use for the end users as well as to manage. The option to add new categories (expenses) and have the end users use them immediately is wonderful. The ease of creating a new user as well as customer support has been great. The customer support while having issues has been quick to resolve any issues

    • 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.

    Cons
    Routespring
    • It's hard to tell where to go to book a flight right after you create an account.
    • It is a pretty basic design - I think they'd raise confidence in their tech skills even further if the site were a little flashier.
    • The site is geared toward companies whose employees all have the same email address domain. However, they are able to accommodate different email addresses if you provide them so they can add the domains to your account.

    • 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.

    Usability
    Routespring
    I gave Routespring this rating because it is easy to use for bulk booking and guest travel management, centralizes travel and event planning to reduce manual work, and is reliable and practical with fewer errors and better tracking, saving time and improving efficiency across teams, even though there is room for improvement in speed, integrations, and reporting.

    Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

    After trying for weeks to (unsuccessfully) set up an account with another online booking agency, we contacted Routespring to see if they could help us based on the great reviews we saw. It took them about three days total to have everything in place and ready for our guests to start booking their flights while ticket prices were still reasonable. They have been attentive to all of our needs, respond quickly and professionally to guest questions, and are a lot of fun to work with as well. We couldn't have asked for a better partner for this project!

    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. :)

    At the time, TripActions did not have sufficient price controls or out of policy approval process for us to continue using them. Routespring makes it very easy to have visibility and control on our travel spend

    We selected (switched) to Zoho Expense because it had similar features at a lower price and we were able to receive a discount through our partner relationship with another software company. We have considered moving from Zoho Expense to something else recently due to continued issues with being able to accurately import credit card charges and organize them correctly be team member. Creating some confusion among users.

    • 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.
