Billtrust was implemented as a holistic solution to provide online bill receipt and payment solutions to customers nationwide across all our stores. Each branch store had employees that utilized Billtrust as a source of truth for customer balance and invoice payment status. At HQ, employees used Billtrust for reporting and accounting reconciliation purposes. Before that, reconciling customer payments was very manual at each store, and there was no online way for a customer to pay their invoices. Billtrust solved that.
  • Implementation - Billtrust was relatively easy to implement, and there were guiding resources that assisted me during the process. Getting every branch spun up was relatively simple.
  • Payment Status - Billtrust provided actual payment status for each customer, and having a payment route to the correct bank account by the store was automated. There was no reconciliation needed with that.
  • UI - Billtrust could've had a better design and overall user interface. Everything worked, but at times it could be challenging to navigate to the feature you needed to use.
  • Internal Dashboard - The internal dashboard was outdated and hard to navigate at times. The data produced by the dashboard was congested and didn't provide the most efficient view for gathering certain customer information.
For a simple invoice-based organization, especially with multiple stores, Billtrust is an appropriate fit. While lacking in design and intuitive functionality, Billtrust got the job done as far as receiving payments from customers. However, if you are in a subscription-based business or one that invoices on a frequent repetitive manner, Billtrust may not be the best solution.
  • Billtrust decreased our collections balance and helped many customers get out of the red. In turn, that decreased our legal fees and increased our cash on hand.
  • Billtrust helped our customers by offering a customer portal where they could log in to see their invoices and pay them. This saved a lot of time for our sales reps, who didn't spend their day helping customers get their invoices and pay.
  • Stripe
For a less tech-educated workforce, Billtrust did the job and required minimal developer resources on our end. Also, while Billtrust lacked in several arenas relative to Stripe, it was good for us since we were not a subscription-based business. For the price, Billtrust was a good solution for our invoice-to-pay business.
They got back promptly on every ticket we needed. They were friendly and usually helped us solve the problem. However, there were times when it was clear they just sent a support article back instead of seeking to understand the root of more complex issues that our users had.

Billtrust is an invoice and payment management system that has been put in place by two of our larger suppliers. They use this software to provide invoices, provide statements, track open balances, and collect electronic payments from their customers. Our Shared Services team has been involved with this software for just under a year.
  • It allows customers to pull past / missed invoices for review and payment.
  • It can work well to track open amounts on the account.
  • It allows us to pay our invoice online through a p-card, which helps increase our potential rebate with our bank.
  • It has a feature that allows you to make notes about the invoice so you can track what actions have taken place.
  • Anyone in our organization can create an account for a vendor with Billtrust. The upside.easy to set up. The downside.invoices stop going through the usual channels and only go to this person. Also, if they leave the company, it's tough to gain access to the account to allow central management.
  • Invoices showed as open in the software may not be accessible. It doesn't seem like the AR departments scrub the data, so our group has had to manipulate the data manually.
  • Invoices do not always automatically move to paid when a payment is made online. We discovered this by making a duplicate payment on a group of invoices.
I feel Billtrust is useful to all payments and data between vendors and customers. It gives easy access to invoices and statements to customers which can allow easier management of the account. Billtrust can take payments through ACH withdrawl and through credit card which was ideal for our company. It provides statement copies for the customer. If it worked well, it should save postage and time for our Vendor's AR team and could make things easier for our team.
  • We are currently using it to reconcile two large vendor accounts.
  • We have been making electronic payments through our p-card for the past several months - allowing us to earn rebates of 1.17 - 1.25% on the payments made.
  • The downside is. The data isn't that clean, and we have spent hours and hours trying to get to the real number we owe to these vendors.
In the past, I used Taulia and Covisint as a similar but not identical packages. Both of these software systems had an integration with the customers with whom we were dealing, which would allow purchase orders to flow into the software. Vendors could then generate invoices in the system against the purchase orders, and the customer would pay them via ACH. Taulia also offered dynamic discounting - which would allow discounts for earlier payments. I haven't seen another product precisely like this one.
We deal with our customer's AR personnel to help resolve issues with our open invoices. They can help us but seem to be lacking in the overall understanding of the Billtrust software and why things may work the way they do. We have some accounts that are active that we have been unable to add to our corporate account, and as a result, these bills must be paid via check, and we are not currently receiving statements. It would be great if they had more robust customer service or maybe different criteria for creating accounts.
