Reviews
(1-25 of 87)My Experience with Tipalti
- The automated coding functionality that learns how to code them correctly
- The updates that they release address needs that me and my team have requested. For example they just added the ability to change approvers without retracting the invoice
- Convient approval process. Invoices can be approved in the AP hub or through email notifications
Happy Tipalti User!
For us Tipalti has massively simplified our AP process from start to finish. Not only that, being be able to schedule payments to go out on the invoice due date has had a real positive impact on our cash flow, ensuring we pay our vendors on time but maximise our cash as far as we can.
- Tipalti has a very user friendly interface, clearly laid out and easy to navigate
- The audit trail feature is hugely helpful to track an invoice's progress through the system
- Being able to schedule invoices to be paid exactly on their due date ensures we pay on time but not earlier than necessary
- We were able to put in strong controls around changes to vendor data
The approvals process is fast and effective, and approvers can approve directly from the email without having even to log into the system. The audit trail function allows the finance team to see exactly who has done what to each invoice, and when.
Payments, however, are where we see the most benefit. Vendor bank details are stored securely and controls can be put in place to ensure that any changes to vendor data must be approved. Once fully approved, invoices can be scheduled for payment either on a particular date or on the invoice due date, which ensures vendors are paid on a 'Just In Time' basis. All invoices and payments sync seamlessly to our ERP each day.
Tipalti- it's a lifesaver!
- Vendor onboarding
- Payment approval
- ERP integration
Tipalti - rock solid P2P solution
- 3 way matching
- Communication (both regular email and chat feature within Tipalti)
- Workflows
Tipalti was a game-changer for our organization
- Supplier portal is easy to use for our vedors to securely and accurately capture contact, tax and payment information
- It can handle large volume uploads we need to make every month to create invoices for our music artists and labels
- It accurately syncs with our ERP NetSuite so real time GL activity is tracked
- It can make payments using ACH, eCheck (Int'l ACH), Wires and Paypal, so gives vendors a lot of options to be paid how they prefer
Just do it.....just choose Tipalti, you will be glad you did !
My solved problems are how do you receive and circulate for approval invoices in a remote work environment. Tipalti accomplishes all of that. Accounting is able to see all invoices in process, who is next to approve, and initiate payment right from the Tipalti app.
- Invoice coding, routing, and approval
- Complete visibility of all invoices floating around your organization
- Payment of invoices via numerous methods and multiple currency with just a click of the mouse
- Captures W9 & W8-BENE information
- posts all information including a pdf of invoice into your GL/accounting system
How Tipalti Helped us Automate AP
- AP Automation - Tipalti has helped us streamline supplier management, invoice processing time and 2-way & 3-way matching
- Mass Payments - Streamlined payment experience for vendors, can pay in multiple currencies under multiple entities
- Procurement - Streamlined vendor management, advanced approval flows, PO generation
What Tipalti can and cannot do for your company
- Excellent filters to sort data
- Customer service response time is very quick
- Vendor portal is easy to use and feedback from our vendors is positive
- Security of company and vendor information
Tipalti ACH transfer is awesome!

- Automation

An incredibly powerful tool which has overhauled our purchase to pay cycle
- Duplicate bills being processed and paid
- No accurate oversight of what was actually outstanding to suppliers
- Extremely long and convoluted process to pay invoices manually from bank which would take a full day to do
- Additional work load of matching each payment in the NetSuite.
Tipalti was billed to us as providing us with a solution to these problems in a seamless way.
From the start I was really impressed with the professionalism of all members of Tipalti staff, our implementation was seamless and our implementation manager [...] was on hand to answer any questions we had. I also felt that the staff also really believed in the product too.
Everything for the purchase to pay cycle is under one roof with Tipalti. Vendors register on the platform and submit their bills. The AI tool will review the invoice and code this based on previous coding which allows our team to process bills in seconds rather than minutes.
The platform lists out all pending bills to be paid, which makes our lives easier in understanding what it outstanding and how we can manage our working capital flows better. At a click of a button the vendors are paid which avoids having to create a payment file or manually load details into the bank portal.
Having seen tools in the past which have tried to do one element of this cycle, Tipalti is by far head and shoulders above the rest and overdelivers on what it prommisses.
- Ease of us - Great User Interface
- AI for invoice processing - saving time as part of reviewing and processing invoices
- Great customer interaction / on-boarding
Tipalti delivered it´s promise
- Flexibility in trying to solve the business problem that may be specific to our location or type of business
- Pretty quick support
- Ambitions to improve the solution - there is a roadmap
A limitation for our business is the lack of ability to support an individual. Tipalti has, however, been very flexible in supporting workarounds that solve the business problem, albeit not optimally.
Greatest Invoice Processing tool out there!
I have not encountered any business or product issues in my time with the company.
We utilize Tipalti for approximately 98% of all our invoices. All of the upgrades to Tipalti have been super helpful in reducing delays in processing. Such as "replace an approver", vs having to pull the invoice back and ultimately start the flow completely over.
- Support is phenomenal! Incredibly responsive, always have the answers, super knowledgeable and will assist in bringing resolution to various concerns, as well, providing not just support, but education as well!
- System is almost always working efficiently, very few incidents that slow me down.
- System is incredibly user friendly. I was able to learn it pretty quickly.
My experience with Tipalti
- Payouts
- settelment Notifications
It makes paying out to payees simple and easly controlable
Recommending Tipalti for simplifying multiple international payments
- automatic email for set up reminders
- automatic emails for payment updates
- quick and easy payment process to multiple payees
My Tipalti experience
- Send notifications to suppliers
- Update on any delays or problems
- react very fast if there is any problem
If your supplier network is small and quite fixed it is less important as you local bank can support you as well.
Cross-border Payment
- The sales team tried to understand our needs and set up a couple of meetings to figure out our concerns.
- The software introduction is easy to understand and the following support is sufficient.
- The description of task requirements are clear, and the support is on time and easy to understand.
Highly recommend Tipalti!
- All invoice records, approvals and audit history (upload date, approved by individual and date, etc) are housed in Tipalti as well as payment batch details. Having everything in one place saved us a lot of time from pulling support during audit season.
- Invoice and payment records also sync to NetSuite, making cash and AP reconciliations easy and automated. This allows us more time during month-end to perform completeness checks, and less time booking Bill and Payment transactions.
- Additionally, supplier onboarding is much more efficient. Vendors can easily submit their information and update changes in banking information directly through the supplier login in Tipalti.
Payment Process & Tipalti
- Handling the Foreign payments
- Provide detailed reports for our requirements
- Integrated with our Accounting ERM system
Implemented twice, for different use cases, and was great each time!
- Payouts, including international
- Controls around approvals and payments
Great for complicated coding and approvers-lists
- PDF sync in to ERP
- OCR codes invoices based on previous examples and learns as it goes
- Invoices that are sent back to AP have an audit strand that keeps track of changes
- Most vendors manage their own payment information, meaning your team isn't managing banking information for vendors to process epayments
Good system to streamline the AP process
- Streamlines the approval process of invoices
- Allows for easy filtering and reporting per vendor
- Easily allows for notifications and alerting for users
Easy to use, internal control compliant, very positive cost-benefit experience
- Easy to use.
- Reporting functionality assisting the cash reconciliation process.
- Controls reports available for external audit purposes.
- Managing funds, in and outflows.
1. Companies with 50 to 1000 employees.
2. Vendors with 50 to 1000 vendor profiles.
3. Start-up operations to mid-tier companies.
Less suited:
1. Where specific point in time settlement is needed, for example time-sensitive payroll payments.
Tipalti Use case
- Setting up bill approval matrix
- Sending payments to vendors
- Syncing with NetSUite
Pleased with decision to switch
- Invoice recognition software learns from how an invoice is coded and routed for approval and will automatically fill in that information to reduce having to enter it each time if it doesn't change on a per invoice basis.
- Purchase Orders track the amount budgeted and will make you aware if there is a shortage. You can choose to create a new PO and merge it with the existing PO so that you don't have to relearn a PO number if it is one used throughout the year.
- Payments that are made to a vendor outside of the scope of the software, such as an online payment, can still be recorded manually so that you have that information all in one system to search.
Tipalti Saves Time and Money!
- Makes payments - no need to enter manual payments on Banklines
- Posts Purchase invoices into NetSuite ERP
- Approval system
