We currently use Webexpenses to pay staff expenses, this is used across the whole organization. This has ensured staff have been able to submit their expenses quick and easily.
  • Clean interface.
  • App is very helpful when on the go.
  • Fast and easy to use.
  • Helpful videos.
  • Would like to have notifications option when something has been approved or amended.
Overall Webexpenses works well in the office and on the go, would highly recommend for people at all levels to use as this tool is very clear and easy to use.

We use Webexpenses to keep track of the expenses of each of our employees, since 3 years ago we did not have anything similar and we had to trust the word of the employees, now the system allows us to attach receipts and establish limits for each refund. Definitely, for us, the processing of refunds is improved by using WebExpenses.
  • Easy approval view
  • Easy accountant view
  • Easy claimant view
  • Easy user administration
  • the way to attach receipts to the claim could be better.
  • Add new approvers need to be more friendly.
  • Try to improve the user management.
It would fit well in a scenario where the company does not know how to handle employee reimbursements and is looking for an easy and simple way to do it without having to invest in a large infrastructure.Since it is 100% web, it does not require installing any programs on employees' computers and the mobile phone app makes management even easier.

We use Webexpenses to manage invoices for purchases we make on credit cards. It allows for everything to be in one place, and it helps us compartmentalise invoices into specific cost centres.
  • Compartmentalise invoices into the relevant cost centres
  • Manage all invoices in one place
  • Manage invoices on another person's behalf if they are on leave
  • I always find it difficult remembering how to add a new expense and receipt. It is more long winded and complicated than it needs to be.
  • I regularly have to select specific fields when approving expenses, so it would be useful if I could setup a default template so I don't need to manually change the same fields every time
Webexpenses is great for managing multiple expenses all in one place, and it makes it easy to compartmentalise invoices into specific cost centres. Approving multiple invoices can be time consuming, so it would be great if you could create templates to save you selecting the same fields every single time. Overall it is a good product and does most things we need.

Paper reduction and workflow processes hugely improved—secured function for staff to input expenses and management to approve or decline. The finance team can see the whole process and expenditure. Reporting provides management with a high-level view and the ability to drill down into the details. As the portal is secured and available 24/7 then staff can use this when they have the time to process their expenses.
  • No more paper process or paper to be stored for HMRC and auditing.
  • Approval process.
  • Improved speed of process expenses.
  • Improved speed to repay expenses to staff.
  • Expense input could be easier and more friendly.
  • Checking of duplicate expenses.
  • Ability to provide details & attachments to accompany the expenses.
  • Assistance where there are errors.
Where staff are spread across geographical areas. A centralized finance team will not dread dealing with the manual process, pieces of paper, and storing the paper. Companies that do not have formal procedures and checks would substantially improve their control. The applications are good for ensuring the correct people are informed and approve the expenses. The application is good for centralized records management.

We use it to record employees' monthly expenses and as a tool to check how much money is invested in our deals or projects per employee. The scope of our use case is relevant because the app lets the company know how the employees act while they are working out of the office for the different deals we have.
  • Reports
  • Expenses summary by user.
  • Alert if they are duplicated claims.
  • Uploading invoices as a group and not once a time and item.
  • Type of file for uploading the invoices.
  • Creating a new claim for mobile app is complicated.
It is a very useful app/tool for the company's internal records of employee expenses Sometimes recording the expenses is a bit complicated due to the different items that need to be included to properly complete the uploading of most of the invoices/expenses. If the company has offices abroad, it is hard to have different currencies and the exchange rate is not so accurate.

Webexpenses act as an excellent intermediary for our business, turning corporate credit card statements into importable transactions into our accounting software (SAGE 200). The mobile app allows our employees to upload receipts as they go, in addition to auto recognition, enabling statements to be reconciled with very little effort. The authorization feature ensures all costs are preapproved, with multi-user access across different service levels. Mapping categories against cost accounts ensures a high level of accuracy. Easy to use and user-friendly.
  • Accurate expenses recording.
  • User friendly.
  • Simply to use.
  • Integrate with more banks.
High-volume users- sales reps - where employees are always on the go.

Such an easy way of submitting and receiving expenses through work. Clear instructions, plenty of categories, good app design that's easy to use. Good updates and notifications to alert me when claims have been approved or rejected.
  • Site well laid out, very easy to navigate.
  • Good notification system so claims aren't missed.
  • Very good range of categories to select for claims.
  • The map system, when submitting mileage, could be improved. Routes are often not the most efficient routes.
  • Image storage. Better ability to use the same image for multiple claims, fuel, for example.
Quick and easy submission of expenses. Being able to log mileage while on the go via the app and also uploading images directly to the claim using the camera.

Daily usage in case of company expenses. The tool was just established at the beginning of 2023. In the beginning, we faced some difficulties in usage, but after the first two months of reports, everything ran smoothly. Usually, there were many reasons why not to use it, but now I can see that the system is fast, unique, and always with you = simply, you can report immediately after getting the bill.
  • Quick response.
  • Flexibility.
  • Immediate usage.
  • Not able to monitor bills paid from other cards (shell card).
Best: immediate saving of expenses Worse: really can't find it in my case.

We use Webexpenses for employee expenses, allowing for entries of expenses, an approval matrix to control expense values as well as limits, and CSV uploads into our accounting system. We are also able to report on expenses uploaded into our system based on period, person, or any range of information requested.
  • Reporting
  • CSV Downloads.
  • Approval Matrix.
  • Reporting Could be broader.
  • External Expense Approvals.
  • More limiting on expense rules.
I believe Webexpenses to be well suited for a simple reporting system and simple express expense entry - I think it is a suitable system for a company of less than 500 and the approval matrix works fine. I think a downside is the background of Webexpenses and the lack of control you can put in place.

I use Webex to claim business expenses, millage, fuel, meals, hotels etc... and have done for many years both in the UK and abroad.<br><br>Webex makes the process simple and effective, the mobile (app) option removes the need to keep receipts and makes getting the receipts 'into they system' much easier. Especially with busy lives, to take the photo and have it sitting there is a great advantage, you can 'come back later' to build the claim knowing you have all the details you need.<br><br>As an end user I know where I stand with the claim, when my manager has authorised the payment and when the payment has been processed by our accounts team. <br><br>It would be great if Webex offered this service for charities and voluntary organisations such as Scouts and Guides. Volunteering in Scouts I can see where the service would support how we work, we as volunteers are often out of pocket and with people leading busy lives, forget to make our claims. Being responsible for the finances I cannot justify paying for this service but I can see how the service would benefit tens of thousands of volunteers if Webex was available to charities discounted or even free...
  • Notifications
  • Receipt scanning and AI
  • Claim building
  • Claim categorisation
  • Claiming for millage, the maps function is great BUT it struggles if you go 'off-piste', taking a different rout to the one it suggests. I find it often gets confused and has me looping around roads I haven't driven.
  • Sometimes the AI will change the value on my receipts even after selecting to use what I've typed in.
  • Travelling alone, I do not always need to 'add people to the claim'.
  • Why do I need to add myself to a claim? I'm the one claiming.
  • When adding myself to the claim why is it mandatory to add the job titles of people? including myself!
When actually travelling, can take photos of receipts/meters in cabs etc... we're moving to a receiptless society so screen shots and photos are the way forwards with regard to digitisation.

When working with Children the focus is on them not what you're doing with receipts and invoices, it would be great if Webex offered this service for charities and voluntary organisations such as Scouts and Guides. Volunteering in Scouts I can see where the service would support how we work, we as volunteers are often out of pocket and with people leading busy lives, forget to make our claims. Being responsible for the finances I cannot justify paying for this service but I can see how the service would benefit tens of thousands of volunteers if Webex was available to charities discounted or even free...

Webexpenses are mainly used for travel costs and customer entertainment costs. The tool streamlines the expense handling and ensures proper authorizations and cost control. It also assists us in assigning cost categories. Webexpenses can be entered after a purchase order has been submitted and approved. The tool is also used for statistical purposes to control cost per department and adherence to budget.
  • Easy workflow of approvals.
  • Quick response of the system.
  • Easy of use of the web interface.
  • Easy to configure.
  • Reporting could be improved and more ad-hoc.
  • Adding receipts could be made easier.
It is well suited to control travel costs by approval flow.

  • Very easy to use.
  • Saves your inputs regardless.
  • The format is excellent making it easy to navigate.
  • You know where your are with your expenses.
  • Sometimes it appears to be very slow.
  • Accounts can sometimes take some time to clear expenses. It would be nice to have an update button to see why they have not been cleared.
  • Updating receipts could be easier.
Compared with other expense platforms, this has to be the easiest to use once you know what you are doing.

The ability to automate approval flows for expenses. The previous manual system was not ideal as we had to rely on manual processes to push expenses through. With the automated reminders set in web expenses, we're able to ensure all expenses are submitted before the pay cut off being run.
  • Automation
  • Notification
  • Limits
  • App
  • Speed of UI
  • Mandatory fields
Very well suited to scenarios where there are lots of expenses being lodged, with multiple approvers and time sensitivity. If an organization has a very simple process, with singular approvers and rare expenses being submitted, it may not be worth the time/money to implement and maintain the system, especially if a compatible finance syhstem is not used.

Ease of inputting data and processing expenses. Allows easy processing of mileage expenses in particular, by inputting the destination postcodes which then generates the most likely route. However, this could be improved upon by upgrading the ease with which you can amend the route (currently it's quite clunky to change) and also to be able to add in multiple destinations as part of a day's worth of site visits - to be able to add these and allocate against job numbers with more ease would be most helpful. Currently you must set up separate claim items per job number.
  • Uploading receipts via the mobile app
  • Calculating mileage based on the postcodes inputted and most likely route
  • Improve emailing receipts to account function - currently doesn't always upload despite following the process required
  • Improve ability to amend mileage route calculated if this differs from the one generated
Easy to upload screenshots of receipts in bulk using the mobile app. Easy to keep track of and submit expenses at any point and emails to prompt submission when you have an open claim/emails to confirm which stage of the approval process your claim is currently at is useful.

As a social media marketer, I leverage Webexpenses to streamline the reimbursement process for all my social media ad expenditures. The platform efficiently manages and tracks my expenses, addressing the challenge of reconciling numerous ad-related transactions. Its user-friendly interface facilitates easy submission and approval of claims, enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
  • Webexpenses excels in its ability to swiftly capture and process receipts using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.
  • The dashboard is very clear allowing me to view which claims are open, submitted, paid etc
  • All my receipts are recorded in one place
  • Improved training resources, such as video tutorials could be valuable.
Webexpenses excels in scenarios where streamlined expense tracking is crucial, such as managing diverse social media ad costs. Its robust receipt capture and OCR simplify the reimbursement process. It proves effective for organisations with customisable approval hierarchies, ensuring smooth workflows. However, in more complex financial ecosystems requiring extensive third-party integrations, Webexpenses may have limitations. Additionally, for users heavily reliant on mobile interfaces, the current app design might pose challenges.

Large proportion of employees, myself included, are field based and this software allows us keep track of expenses incurred during business travel. Very useful tool for matching receipts to costs, plus having the ability to generate reports for defined periods helps with end of year tax submissions too.
  • Attaching receipts to claims. Lots of format options.
  • Ability to generate reports on expenses claimed over a particular period, such as mileage claims.
  • Mobile app (iOS) is also very useful
  • Search option for drop down menu when selecting the Category of claim. Can take quite a while finding the right option
  • Occasional formatting bug where the bottom of the form is not visible and the page cannot be scrolled to access it
The ability to capture costs and add receipts in 'real time' when travelling is very useful. Building up an expense report over a period of days whilst on the business trip it relates to makes final editing and submission very easy.

Webexpenses allows me to easily upload my receipts and track when I will be reimbursed for purchases I have made that are reimbursable through company policy. I am an end user, and have used various platforms in previous employment but I find Webexpenses to be be easy to use, efficient and time saving.
  • receipt upload
  • congregating expenses
  • easy to use
  • ability to amend
  • Ability to count what I will receive this current month
  • Dragging route takes me out of policy which is frustrating as the sat nav isnt always the best
It is well suited for a business like ours where I am out and about on site a lot and need to add mileage in. The sat nav option is not always the most reliable, however. I find it easy to track what has been approved by my manager and then what has been approved for payment.

I use Webexpenses to submit my expense claims for work travel. It deals with the issue of submitting expense claims in electronic format nicely.
  • Makes it easy to upload photos of receipts
  • Makes it easy to see total amount of claim
  • Makes it easy to see status of expense claim
  • Interface is too cluttered
  • Weird aspect of having to confirm saving expense item before adding receipt
  • Layout of interface could be improved and simplified
It is good for submitting expense claims with not too many items, but in my opinion it is a bit of a pain for submitting claims with many items due to the numbers of clicks required to enter each item and the lack of an autocomplete/automatic fill-in in the interface for each item.

Webexpenses is being used across our organisation, and it has been well received by all users who used to have to fill in an Excel spreadsheet and attached their receipts to it and get it manually signed before submission. Doing this via a web browser is now much easier, and also using the mobile app allows us to add expenses on the fly, quickly take a photo of the receipt and job done. In my opinion this is a game changer and saves people a lot of time.
  • Quick to add expenses.
  • Great mobile app.
  • Seamless approval process.
It is great for doing expenses on the go through the mobile app. As soon as you have encountered an expense, you can quickly add it to the months expenses, and then only have to add the additional ones where you didn't have time, or where driving at the end of the month.
