IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
As a contractor, I was told to use Candex to contract with a large multi-national organization, and submit invoices through Candex. The "happy path" worked well. Whenever there were any hiccups in the process, it could be challenging to get to resolution with Candex. I had an issue with Candex' payment going through to my bank and it took >1 month to resolve which was frustrating, but a resolution was eventually found.
Pros
- Simple contracting and invoicing
- Reduce red tape working with multi-national procurement departments
- Have a usable web interface
Cons
- Dealing with edge cases (e.g., bank accounts with different inbound and outbound routing numbers)
- Accepting the breadth of business entity incorporation styles (e.g., S-Corp vs sole proprietorship in USA)
- Deeply investigating issues and working towards swift resolutions -- easy issues are resolved quickly, hard issues have a runaround
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for small contracts with vanilla packaging from both the vendor and the organization who trust each other. You can expect that the wrong proposal (or none) may be uploaded to the contract you're signing so you just need to trust the other party to do what was discussed between each other.
