How Airbase Differs From Its Competitors

Automation and Guided Procurement

The accounts payable automation did save our company a significant amount of time. The software would remember who the appropriate approver was based on the vendor name, making the intake process much faster. The software appears to remember what entity was last charged for that specific vendor, …

Automation and Guided Procurement

At this time, our team hasn't leveraged mult-currency or international travel. There are many teams in the business though that have and I've heard great things. However, I can't speak from personal experience.

We do not have multi-subsidiary accounts or multi-currency so cannot comment on this use case.

Automation and Guided Procurement

With many subsidiaries overlapping top management, setting our approval policies and creating new/unique roles for various positions was easy. It is also easy to limit employees' views and options to provide them with only what they need to see and have available choices.

Usability

The UI/UX is very intuitive and it is easy to find all of the most useful shortcuts on the Dashboard page. There is also a clear list of what one would be looking for on the left side of the page at all times. However, there is room for improvement because it can sometimes be difficult to locate the correct location to change a specific setting as an Admin.

Usability

I haven't even had to go to Airbase's help center to learn how to do something. It's so intuitive, I can get through anything I need quickly and efficiently. The labels are clear to the areas you need and the steps guide you automatically when submitting a transaction. The transition from a notification to the web or app is seamless too taking me right to where I need to be decreasing clicks and confusion.

See previous comments about some UI/UX features that can be improved: - Can't see full merchant name or approver in the desktop "Reimbursements" screen - Can't see or filter expenses by "Purpose" as a user - Receipt mgmt and submission in app could be less clunky

Usability

I think the usability is great. The doc reader that transfers data to the related fields is awesome. The communication channels between the approver and requester is great too. I think the only thing holding me back from giving this a 10 out of 10 is sometimes the lack of clarity on when to see money in my bank account. Sometimes it will say I should see funds on Jan 3 but it doesn't actually show until the day after. Very minor though.
