Glean - Great product to do more with less and provide greater visibility to vendor spend
We use Glean to manage, approve and track all vendor invoices and submit payments to our vendors. It solves multiple problems such as vendor invoice approval controls, spend tracking and management, general ledger entry, invoice payments, accrual and prepaid amortization schedules and entries, and so much much more. It's automated and its easy to use features enable us to save time and money on personnel for vendor management and AP as well as provide greater visibility on vendor spend across the entire organization.
- Efficiency: The tool automatically brings in and codes our invoices and pulls out relevant data, saving both time and personnel costs and allowing us to focus on higher-value initiatives to benefit our organization
- Cost: Much cheaper than adding a dedicated AP clerk and/or using other AP platforms that don't provide half as much benefit
- Automation: The prepaid amortization functionality and automated accruals help cut down on otherwise cumbersome manual workflows and make sure we don't miss anything in our close
- Visibility: Allowing each department and vendor approval to see historical trends and overall spend is so helpful in allowing them to build their budgets, better understand the source of increases/decreases, and overall monitor their vendors.
- Current limitation is that they don't (yet) support credit card programs. Once they are able to import/integrate with card programs to truly have all vendor spending in one place, they will be a must-have software for all accounting/finance teams.

- Has saved at least one fractional headcount from being needed to run AP for a fraction of the cost as well as freeing up additional time from having to do compilation of spend tracking and department sharing.
Their cost and billing premise make sense, they allow unlimited users instead of trying to charge you for each and every head, thus allowing you to truly have spend visibility and cost consciousness front of mind for your vendor approvers. Their UI is clean and easy to pick up and understand, even for non-accounting personnel.
Glean helps us centralize key documents (i.e. invoices) for key reviews such as audit & internal controls & allows for a collaborative approval workflow (and the ability for cross functional partners to track their team's spend). Also, Glean helps us make our month end close processes more efficient by directly booking entries such as prepaids.
- The Glean team is very receptive to product feedback and is quick to act on the input.
- The ability to set reminders for contract renewal dates helps us keep tabs on vendor agreements and ensure we act in a timely manner w/r/t negotiations.
- Lack of SSO for logging prevents us from centralizing logins

Glean allowed me to expand my role at my company because it freed up so much of my time!
Our team needs to process a high number of invoices, all from different clients, which all need to be paid from different accounts. The automation has made this process SO much faster and more efficient: it used to take around 20 hours per week and a team of about 5 people to do the work Glean now helps me do alone! Glean has single-handedly made my life easier and allowed me to expand my role at my company because it freed up so much of my time!
- Gleans update us on particular spending patterns we should be more cognizant of
