We also researched other paid products (e.g. SAP Concur) and Divvy is far and beyond a better UI with all necessary features while they continue to improve and build out other fancy features.

There is no comparison to how easy Divvy is vs any other way of expense reporting because Divvy is real-time.
Chose BILL Spend & Expense
Nothing out there compares to the agility and ease of use of Divvy. Adoption by those most resistant to any expense reporting tool has always been the #1 painpoint to all other such software.

Divvy takes the pain away even for creatives and salespeople!

Divvy is well suited for almost any organization/business I can think of. If you need to spend money from a specific predetermined budget, Divvy works great. If you have a high volume of transactions and you're fairly decent with excel, you can create an upload file to move transactions into your general ledger (currently only QB is supported for plug ins). If I'm really trying to find a less appropriate example, maybe if you have employees who can have a large credit limit and need to travel a lot, an Amex card might have better benefits.

Our primary model for budgeting revenue is centered on patient counts. Missed assumptions early in the year result in massive ramifications over the balance of the year. Workday formulas allowed us to write formulas to project the recovery of such shortfalls over a variable length of time, resulting in realistic projections for overcoming said shortfalls.

Pros
  • BILL is a really user friendly system - very easy to onboard people into.
  • We love BILL's rewards system and the ability to redeem for travel or gift cards.

  • We specically wanted a cloud financial management system that we could use in China and communicate reports to the headquarters organization and roll-up reporting. It performs well.
  • It was reasonably priced since we are not a for-profit company and need the Workday flexibility for finance and accounting operations. Most of our requirements are met with this one system.
  • The system worked efficiently with the additional security we built on to keep confidential. Many reports are ready off-the-shelf or easy to develop, which is a strength.

Cons
  • Logging into more than one company or ease of logging into more than one company at a time.
  • Instant messaging system to work with employees on particular transactions.
  • Being able to collect rewards on a monthly basis and having the option to get it in the form of a statement credit.

  • The automatic save function isn't always active for the cloud version. I'm not sure if it is a glitch or a settings issue.
  • There are some limitations to customizations.
  • Updates don't go through properly on the system, leading to downtime issues.

The Divvy card provides convenience and flexibility for Finance to manage and monitor each user's transactions at any time. User can issue many virtual cards for different purposes. Transactions can be easily approved. Since we can monitor transaction closely, fraud can be prevented effectively. Mobile app is user friendly and safe.

Workday Financial Management is an easy to use, productive software suite that really brings all departments together and improved workplace efficiency. Before we began using the software, much info was partitioned in random places that were not clearly labeled or accessible to all shareholders. We are very pleased with Workday Financial Management.

Support Rating
We have enjoyed using Divvy and its functions. The Divvy team has been great, and their support team is outstanding. They have a chatbox on the platform, and they only seem to be someone on call. I have found its benefits to be outstanding, that I recommend it to my clients. I also feel that Divvy rolling out new features only makes it more compelling to stay on as a user.

Our support team has been awesome. They are extremely knowledgeable and have been able to guide us through all of the challenges we have faced. Workday's community online is also extremely helpful with many trainings and help topics that can be reviewed at your convenience.

Alternatives Considered
Bill Spend & Expense and Ramp are pretty comparable, but we ended up making the change to Ramp based on three factors: 1. The actual receipt or invoice uploads into Sage Intacct, so when reviewing financials, everything is in one place. 2. The cashback program was much simpler and a higher rate than what we were getting. 3. We were bringing our A/P processing into a cloud solution, and wanted to be able to have them on the same one as our credit cards. This fact, combined with point 1, and just a slightly different payment flexibility, made the difference for us. Leaving out those points, which might not matter as much to someone else in a different situation, Bill Spend and Expense is a solid solution for anyone.

The application data of users in the case of PeopleSoft is stored in its proprietary data storage, whereas Workday Financial Management connects to outside databases to create analytics reports. Therefore, this option uplifts the need to use Workday Financial Management as an interactive tool of business intelligence. The release model of Workday Financial Management is ahead of Oracle because it has a continual announcement of more functionality that is a very attractive incentive for our project management team for improving and developing the ongoing operational streams.

Return on Investment
  • Immediate ROI for any company who wants their teams to focus on driving new revenues, creating great products or over delivering to customers - instead of chasing receipts 30 days behind.
  • Ease of use and a great sales and tech support team at Divvy ensure successful onboarding with each and every employee.
  • Immediate ROI from being able to have an agile budgeting process - cashflows improve immediately when budget spend is captured in real-time, and new opportunities are captured when approvals are that easy.

  • Workday has helped my employer save money over the past couple of year by tracking time of employees and how long were days looking like.
  • It has enables us to make better decisions by hiring more people instead of paying overtime to those who already work in order to have the right work/leisure balance
  • The platform has also helped us to redesign our policies after seeing when employees were clocking in and clocking out and track people who were showing up late for work
