The biggest difference between Webexpenses and Concur honestly lie in the simplicity of what is needed from the employee and their expenses. Concur asks for a lot of itemization sometimes and may even have to import other receipts and invoices that are spent by the employee and …
As a user, I prefer filling out an Excel form - it's much quicker than Webexpenses. However, having receipts in the platform is very helpful, as having to sort these separately is a drawback of excel. I can also see how Webexpenses is useful for the finance and back-office …
Its customization options and ease of use can help adapt to the needs of a business more finely. The user interface is also friendlier and more responsive, especially compared to bigger and more bloated platforms like Workday.
We use to submit our credit card claims via excel which was a very manual and time consuming task. We would have to code each transaction and then attach the receipts. We would then have to manually email over the excel file to the approver for them to sign and once they signed …
We have in the past used printed claim documents and staff would fill them out and attach physical copies of receipts to them. We would then have to chase physical signatures from the managers and directors before processing them, so this is our first proper expenses system.
Previous to Webexpenses I have used just an Excel sheet, this had its own obvious disadvantages and manual requirements. In comparison to this Webexpenses is straightforward and easy, saving time and costs.
Webexpenses is a fantastic online expense solution for any business I think. It means less paperwork, less claims going missing in the post, quicker reimbursement, less receipts lost, great reporting tools and a lot less manual work for both claimants, approvers and Accounts. You can set defaults, e.g. budget code for 1 claim if it's going to be the same. It also helps with PSA reporting, for staff gifts.
Expense claim feature when it comes to travel and when we have to create in terms of KMS driven it should auto-capture the dates. This can be improved and there is the scope for improvement.
More tabs can be provided in petty cash expense so you need not type.
There doesn't seem to be anything in the market at the same price point that is better, however if there is an interrupter in the market that provides better value, then we would heavily assess the cost of change to see if we should move on to the alternative offering.
It is easy to manage users, account creation and departments. The reports have important information and for my users and accountants it has been an easy assimilation tool for people of different ages.Which makes it easy for older users to train new users. It is a great tool and has helped us a lot.
There was an unexpected system issue that caused us to have to postpone a user training session at the last minute. Our Webexpenses trainer was not aware that it was going to occur.
The performance is great. Pages and reports load quickly. The data export/import from Webexpenses to our financial software, ACS, is not user friendly, mainly due to ACS import steps
The support for the initial setup was great, but since then we have only had to contact support once when we had problems uploading credit card files. The help we received at this time was not good and we ended up trying various things until we resolved the problem ourselves. The online support tutorials are good, but searching for a specific issue is difficult.
Our trainer spoke very quickly and went through the training material quickly. Since this process was new to us, we missed some important information. We would have benefitted from further training with report generation as well. She did provide a recording of the training, but again, she went through the material very quickly.
I would have to say that Webexpenses does not stack up well in comparison to Expensify. If given a choice, I would choose Expensify for the best user experience and mobile / desktop being more seamless. It accomplishes the same thing but has a more modern, minimal, and streamlined feel to it.
Previously you would have to manually scan expenses using a photocopier and have them signed and then put them in an envelope! Big time saving so Consultants can focus on selling.
Accounts departments require less capacity as its all automated.
Good tracking of expenses through the dashboard for managers.
