Overall Satisfaction with Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank) is a neat little app that can help you manage your expenses in numerous ways. We use it to send all our receipts, invoices, and payment notifications and from that it reads, learns, and prepares all of the expenditure into Xero with the integration. Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank) will handle who the invoice is from, how much it is, which category it should be stored in, and any tax information while also remembering this for future invoices from the same place. It saves us hours of data entry and provides more accurate data, making reconciliation a breeze.

Pros and Cons

Imports invoices and receipts via email or integrations
Converts into data and remembers previous settings for seamless processing

Cons

The system to automatically pull invoices in from various online services is temperamental
Almost too many features for a micro business like ours

Usability

It is very easy to use although some of the interface is a bit busy and there are a lot of features that I don't use or are not sure how/if I would use.

Support Rating

I haven't had to use support too much but the online documentation is great.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you already have an online accounting package, then this can be a great add-on to manage your expenditure and expenses--it works for a micro business as well as one with a number of employees and handles personal expenses as well as it does company ones. The app is pretty good, too, and it all just makes handling our finances so much better. It is not expensive, although it is an addition cost to your accountancy package. If you have nothing to integrate into (in our case it was Xero), then it would probably not be that useful, but for anyone else, I think it would save you hours or more.
