We really liked Bill.com because of the ease but Stampli is more advanced and able to integrate better with NetSuite.

Continia did not do well at learning like Stampli does. It also does not have global lookup function without further development.

Chose Stampli
Stampli is an AP automation software first, whereas the other options we reviewed were a payment processing service that included AP automation.

The Stampli user interface is modern and easy for everyone in the organization to use.
Chose Stampli
Tipalti was not system friendly to what we needed (syncing with NetSuite) and the implementation process was frustrating. We experienced delays and no responses from their team.

Stampli has been the complete opposite! It's user friendly, from approvers to coders, reasonably …
Chose Stampli
I think its easier to use Stampli or to be able to edit something if you make an error in Sage Intacct sometimes you cannot correct them and on the books everything looks messy, that's why I love Stampli because you can double-check everything before to be authorized.
Chose Stampli
We selected Stampli due to the OCR and AI technologies that captures invoice data in real time plus the easy user interface. In comparing the two systems Stampli just appeared to outperform Bill.com.
Chose Stampli
All [of] the features are very easy to use and self-explanatory. Most of the time it remembers all your previous invoices how you coded and do itself. You just need to double-check. Definitely improved the AP process. You won't forget to pay the invoices. It will solve your …
Chose Stampli
Stampli's ease of use far exceeds that of Bill.com or Divvy. Almost every click is recorded in the audit trail and navigating within the portal is intuitive. Each tab is set up in order to follow the process flow, making even the newest of users comfortable.

Acquirell is well-suited when it comes to running RFP events. The flexible configurations and broad functionality of the Acquirell eSourcing module allow us to run RFPs with ease. It is much more convenient to run RFPs in Acquirell than collecting the bids via email and analyzing them manually. Acquirell is less appropriate when it comes to collecting the requisitions. There are confusing terms "requirements" and "requisitions." And it is a bit complicated to configure these "requirements."

Stampli is best for a compony that has a large amount of payables. It stores everything in one place and reduces the need to keep paper copies of everything. It is less appropriate in a situation where payment is due at the time of services since it is sent via USPS mail and you have to take into account the mail processing times.

Pros
  • Good PO processing capabilities
  • A robust Sourcing Module where we run our RFI, RFQ, and RFP events
  • Requisitioning module that allows keeping requisitions in electronic form instead of sending emails that are always being lost
  • Communication that is recorded in the system
  • Approval Routes features that let us handle our complex approval flow

  • Learning - Billy the bot learns much quicker than our previous OCR.
  • Global lookup - we have multiple entities which creates a challenge for finding invoices entered in the wrong place. Stampli has removed this issue.
  • Maximizing manpower - reduces the need for more personnel.

Cons
  • Requisitioning is not convenient. It seems a bit complicated.
  • There is no invoicing. It is necessary to attach separate files. I hope that Acquirell team will develop invoicing capabilities, so we will not have to attach separate files.
  • The tool is mostly designed for procuring physical items than services. We had to play with the evaluation criteria to tailor Acquirell to our processes. We are procuring services more than physical products.

  • It would be awesome if I was able to search for a vendor and check number for proof of payment
  • When asking questions regarding invoices it is a little confusing on how to make the requested changes.
  • Webinar on use of Stampli would be appreciated.

It really helps us to handle almost all our procurement activities (except the CLM process)

I cannot imagine going back to pre-Stampli processes. Our jobs in the Accounting department (not just AP) have all become more engaging because we've cut out so much mindless, non-value added work: data entry, signing checks, stuffing envelopes, stamping envelopes, etc.

We have a dedicated rep (who was also our implementation rep--they stay with you after implementation) who we can email whenever needed and meet with every quarter. There is a chat option within the software that gets responded to by a real person within minutes.

We lost an AP employee right as we were deciding to implement, so we had to speed up our timeline. We went from signing the contract to fully functional system within 4 weeks. We did not dedicate any more than 4 hours per week during the implementation.
