Tipalti - A payment process and compliance solution

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Tipalti as a third party payment processer. We have been using it for about 6 months now. It has gone very well so far and their customer service and Support teams have been responsive and helped us quickly resolve our issues. One of the things that attracted us to Tipalti is that they have processes that ensure we are in compliance with the upkeep of tax forms. These forms (w8 and W9) are stored within the Tipalti portal. Their system does not allow us to make a payment until these forms have been completed and verified with the IRS. Tipalti does the IRS validation for us.
Pros and Cons
  • Process payments
  • Compliance assurance
  • Prompt response from Support teams
  • They have shut down payments on key vendors who had attempted to update their address. I would rather they notify us so we can resolve with the vendor without delaying payments.
  • Many of the notifications we get do not include the vendor number. This leads us to have to get in touch with the vendor just to obtain a vendor ID before taking the notice any further.
  • There can be delays up to half hour from the time we wire funds to our Tipalti account and when they become available to use. They have an early deadline, 11 PST that requires some accommodation to get payments out on time.
Likelihood to Recommend
Tipalti integrates with a major third party network that provides information on marketing traffic. This adds great value to our Tiplati experience as we can initialize the payments directly from this platform and have them processed with Tipalti.

I am a bit disappointed that Tipalti was unable to set up an integration with our accounting software. I think we were given a choice between integration with the third party or with our accounting system. I wish Tipalti would make it possible to set up multiple integration platforms.

They do in fact integrate with a third party payment platform. We initiate the payments from there and they integrate over to Tipalti automatically. Tipalti also sends an update to our payment partner showing that the invoice(s) are marked 'paid'.
Efficiency
Tipalti saves us hours of processing time as well as onboarding time. This has freed up a lot of time to focus on other aspects of the business. They have also streamlined our tax compliance process.

Evaluation Lessons Learned
I think we did well overall. We didn't learn until late that Tipalti was unable to produce both an integration with a third party provider and our accounting software. We had to choose one. I wish we had gotten better clarification on this point during the evaluation process.

Vetted Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Tipalti is being used in our organization for automating our AP and helps with payments. It is being used by the whole organization for approving invoices and making timely payments to vendors. Our AP process is paperless as all invoices are sent by email and automatically uploaded to Tipalti. Approvals are done by email or by log in to AP hub.
Pros and Cons
  • Approval Process
  • Vendors on boarding
  • Payments
  • AP Aging reports
  • Customer Support
  • Netsuite Sync
  • Reporting
Likelihood to Recommend
Easy to use and integrate. Our invoice approval process time was cut in half using Tipalti. The vendor on board is easy and paperless as all information is stored in Tipalti. Reporting could be better but for now, it does what we need. Payments are done timely and in many forms like ACH, checks, and wires.
Return on Investment
  • Multiple Subsidiary
  • Invoice approval
  • Easy payment process
Usability

Tipalti is really easy to use and integration with NetSuite works great.
Efficiency
Using Tipalti we saved significant amount of time processing invoices and making payments.
Alternatives Considered
We looked into Stampli but did not get far, so I can not comment on how does Tipalti stacks against them. Main reason why we choose Tipalti is NetSuites sync with Tipalti. Tipalti works wonders for us as approval of invoices is easy and fast, also Tipalti automatically sends reminders for approvals.
