The AP element of Tipalti was in place when I started, so I was not involved in the selection of the tool.
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti's system is much easier to manipulate, it felt like you needed an advanced degree to utilize Concur effectively.
Chose Tipalti
Coupa was significantly more expensive, takes longer to implement and seemed to be more than we needed. AvidXchange was more similar to Tipalti, but Tipalti sales team seemed hungrier for our business.
Chose Tipalti
AvidXchange worked well as it integrates as a Suite App within NetSuite; however, it still required payments to go out through NetSuite or through a bank directly. It has been a while since I used it so maybe that has improved but having Tipalti handle everything from …
Chose Tipalti
On my second time selecting, I was not going to consider any other vendors. My bank had some arrangement with MineralTree so I was obligated to go through their process. Ultimately it came back to Tipalti's payment processing capabilities as the standout feature.
Chose Tipalti
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 …
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti was in fact the only solution that met all our critical requirements (e2e) and supported ISK payments. Credit cards is not an available functionality outside the US, but wasn´t a critical feature for us.
Chose Tipalti
Although I did not partake in selecting Tipalti, I will say because of my Ariba experience, Tipalti is far more end user friendly. In my experience, Ariba can be super complicated and for those that used it at my last company, they were very unhappy with it's complex environment
Chose Tipalti
If I hadn't used Tipalti, I would have had to rely on traditional banks that don't offer the level of support that Tipalti offers.

Their integration team gave us all the tools and time we needed to complete our integration.
Chose Tipalti
With Tipalti the vendor can choose between more payment options + can change between payment details/methods at any time without the need to have the payer doing so.
Chose Tipalti
They support many more countries and allow us to use the platform in ALL our global payment
Chose Tipalti
Good Customer service and compatible fee.
Chose Tipalti
Previously, our Company housed all invoices and approvals in NetSuite. This was a very clunky process which often resulted in duplicated work. Approvals were obtained through email and attached as a file to invoice records in NetSuite. Whereas, in Tipalti, you can view the …

Chose Tipalti
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 …
Chose Tipalti
I had limited use of Bill.com before my company made the switch. However, a big point of emphasis was the ability to sync the pdf invoice to our ERP when the invoices are synced over.
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti helped us get through the onboarding process in a quick and efficient manner, which was very important for our internal timelines.
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti offered more functionality that we needed for our business. Especially multi-entities and multi-currency functions that we needed. We also needed the capability for data uploads, which was a big selling point for us.
Chose Tipalti
I have not used any other program like Tipalti, unfortunately and can't compare it to anything!
Chose Tipalti
Netsuite did not have much of the current functionality that Tipati offers such as automated payments, the approval workflow requires of additional investment and could end up being very expensive. I do not think Netsuite offers the AI functionality as Tipalti does.
Chose Tipalti
Quick books needed too many dual permissions. Allowing confusion on which department is responsible for a payment. NetSuite was complicated and didn’t offer the fast onboarding that Tipalti offered. The lay out at Tipalti seems visually better as well. NetSuite also had issues …
Chose Tipalti
1. Tipalti have a very good duplicate detect system which help us identified duplicate invoice.
2. Tipalti can memorized expense account, Currency type which save more time for us, and it also reduce the chance for us to make mistakes.
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti was more cost-effective than Bill.com. The approval process is much easier with Tipalti as well. I did not implement Bill.com so I can’t speak to that. I do remember OCR in both invoice coding and approval workplace was good.

The invoice processing element is far, far easier than manually inputting invoices are we were doing previously. The OCR is not perfect, but having it scanned in and ready for review saves a lot of time. The approvals process is fast and effective, and approvers can approve directly from the email without having even to log into the system. The audit trail function allows the finance team to see exactly who has done what to each invoice, and when. Payments, however, are where we see the most benefit. Vendor bank details are stored securely and controls can be put in place to ensure that any changes to vendor data must be approved. Once fully approved, invoices can be scheduled for payment either on a particular date or on the invoice due date, which ensures vendors are paid on a 'Just In Time' basis. All invoices and payments sync seamlessly to our ERP each day.

Cons
Tipalti
  • 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.

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.

Usability
Tipalti
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.

Return on Investment
Tipalti
  • 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.
