Considered Both Products

Chose Tipalti
They are very similar. I do like how Divvy and Bill offer great credit card solutions. But when it comes down to automating the accounts payable function within your organization it is very similar and both offer a great product with similar pros and cons. Overall Tipalti is a …
Chose Tipalti
Concur was a miserable experience on the payables automation side for us. In my opinion, the implementation team did a poor job. Data sync into NetSuite was not real time. To me, the interfaces were archaic. Tipalti was such a breath of fresh air. I love working with their …
Chose Tipalti
Both of these products have treated us well and have their pros and cons. We do a lot of acquisitions though and they are just not friendly the more and more you go. Tipalti has been very helpful with the more we grow. Its a key part in integrating finances
Chose Tipalti
The price point and all-inclusive pricing was very clear with Tipalti. The others separated the payment platform from the invoicing platform, which didn't make sense at all. With one provider, it would be implemented after the payables side, which was not helpful for our …

Tipalti offers more payment method capabilities that fit our partners needs (Paypal, Hold my Payments)
Chose Tipalti
We selected Tipalti because it was a clear and simple option without the complexity or high price tag of other ERP or accounting systems. It was a fit for purpose solution that handled the exact accounts payable needs that we had. It was easy to implement and start using right …

Better OCR, which is crucial: the ability to work from your email inbox without having to log in elsewhere.
Chose Tipalti
The AP element of Tipalti was in place when I started, so I was not involved in the selection of the tool.
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti's system is much easier to manipulate, it felt like you needed an advanced degree to utilize Concur effectively.
Chose Tipalti
Coupa was significantly more expensive, takes longer to implement and seemed to be more than we needed. AvidXchange was more similar to Tipalti, but Tipalti sales team seemed hungrier for our business.
Chose Tipalti
AvidXchange worked well as it integrates as a Suite App within NetSuite; however, it still required payments to go out through NetSuite or through a bank directly. It has been a while since I used it so maybe that has improved but having Tipalti handle everything from …
Chose Tipalti
On my second time selecting, I was not going to consider any other vendors. My bank had some arrangement with MineralTree so I was obligated to go through their process. Ultimately it came back to Tipalti's payment processing capabilities as the standout feature.
Chose Tipalti
From initial implementation through to user experience, Tipalti has been able to exceed our expectations in terms of its functionality and useability. We have found with other systems implemented in the past they did not match our expectations which resulted in us terminating …
Chose Tipalti
Tipalti was in fact the only solution that met all our critical requirements (e2e) and supported ISK payments. Credit cards is not an available functionality outside the US, but wasn´t a critical feature for us.
Chose Tipalti
Although I did not partake in selecting Tipalti, I will say because of my Ariba experience, Tipalti is far more end user friendly. In my experience, Ariba can be super complicated and for those that used it at my last company, they were very unhappy with it's complex environment
Chose Tipalti
If I hadn't used Tipalti, I would have had to rely on traditional banks that don't offer the level of support that Tipalti offers.

Their integration team gave us all the tools and time we needed to complete our integration.
Chose Tipalti
With Tipalti the vendor can choose between more payment options + can change between payment details/methods at any time without the need to have the payer doing so.
Chose Tipalti
They support many more countries and allow us to use the platform in ALL our global payment
Chose Tipalti
Good Customer service and compatible fee.
Chose Tipalti
Previously, our Company housed all invoices and approvals in NetSuite. This was a very clunky process which often resulted in duplicated work. Approvals were obtained through email and attached as a file to invoice records in NetSuite. Whereas, in Tipalti, you can view the …

SAP Concur did not have consistent invoice entry. Depending on who at SAP Concur entered your invoice, the vendor could be incorrect, the vendor number could be missing a digit, the amount of the invoice entered wrong, etc. We had too many issues with SAP Concur because they …

The invoice processing element is far, far easier than manually inputting invoices are we were doing previously. The OCR is not perfect, but having it scanned in and ready for review saves a lot of time. The approvals process is fast and effective, and approvers can approve directly from the email without having even to log into the system. The audit trail function allows the finance team to see exactly who has done what to each invoice, and when. Payments, however, are where we see the most benefit. Vendor bank details are stored securely and controls can be put in place to ensure that any changes to vendor data must be approved. Once fully approved, invoices can be scheduled for payment either on a particular date or on the invoice due date, which ensures vendors are paid on a 'Just In Time' basis. All invoices and payments sync seamlessly to our ERP each day.

It is well suited in scenarios where customers have tremendous volumes of data to deal with and where the reconciliation of the information is of paramount importance to businesses and stakeholders. We use it primarily for balance sheet reconciliations that come with features, such as exception management, which is great for focusing on the few that matter the most at the end of the day.

Pros
  • Support is phenomenal! Incredibly responsive, always have the answers, super knowledgeable and will assist in bringing resolution to various concerns, as well, providing not just support, but education as well!
  • System is almost always working efficiently, very few incidents that slow me down.
  • System is incredibly user friendly. I was able to learn it pretty quickly.

  • The ReconNET tool has a great audit-trial system that captures every detail in the life of a record and helps eliminate any manual intervention. It's fully SOX Compliant, and helps track any changes in the data from an audit perspective.
  • The automation helps us focus entirely on the exceptions, which helps eliminate attention from the mundane tasks to areas with potential problems.
  • Exception management and automated posting to the GL are great features that help streamline many of the routine, mundane, and yet time-consuming activities, freeing up time to focus on issues at hand.

Cons
  • In the PO matching queue, there is some clunkiness surrounding updating PO lines. For example, if you need to delete PO lines picked up from the invoice, you currently have to delete each line individually, instead of being able to select multiple and delete.
  • Sometimes PO numbers do not properly pick up from the OCR system. For example, the OCR might pick up "PO 18535" instead of "18535". This causes the AP team to have to manually link the PO, creating an extra step.
  • For PO-backed Invoices that require you to manually type in the PO amount, there is no option to save your inputs. If there are any changes to the match details (i.e. linking another PO, or unlinking a PO) all inputs are reset to blank.
  • If there are non PO line items for an invoice that is in the PO matching queue, there is no option to select a separate department code for that line item.

  • It takes a little bit of practice to get the hang of the tool to set up the reconciliations, but its not necessarily a drawback, since this applies to every other automation tool out there. However, once someone gets the hang of it, it's pretty user-friendly to run it on a daily basis.
  • Since automatons can only be built on a set logic, at times certain items that show up as exceptions are not truly a cause of concern. However, since it's always better to flag too many potential exceptions than too few, it's not a true drawback.
  • It has quite a few features, such as multi-currency reconciliation, bank deposits, disbursements, automated postings to G/L, etc. which could be of great value for various requirements for clients. It is especially useful where volumes of data are too large to deal with. The uses might not be phenomenal for low volume reconciliation requirements.

Solid system performance. Suits our needs and solution provider very inclined to accept feedback and involve users in developing the solution to serve both the provider and the ultimate user. Tipalti has streamlined our process that was previously very manual and prone to error. Now there is transparency of information and role.

Usability
The system is incredibly easy to use, with most tasks being completed in a small number of clicks. The user interface is very user intuitive and can be navigated very easily. Multiple payments can be made instantaneously and as the vendors manage their payable account we are able to ensure that payments are being sent to the right account. The advanced functionality for duplicate invoices ensures that we are not processing bills twice and we have found that in 100% of cases it has identified a duplicate bill.

Each automation tool has its own set of features, but the fact that ReconNET is built for reconciliation purposes sets it apart from the rest. The ease of usage once the user gets a hang of it, the extensive audit trial, and the ability to focus on exceptions rather than the necessity to scroll through a bulk of irrelevant information, all provide the key-user with the critical decision-making ability.

Return on Investment
  • in my Corporate Controller capacity, I have total visibility of all invoices within the organization
  • total staff time spent on the AP process will decrease easily 75% or more
  • I have a small staff. Even during PTO of my staff member, I can do necessary AP items, start to finish, in minutes, 100% remotely

  • It definitely has a positive impact on ROI with freeing up resource availability and usage on the most pressing tasks at hand. For example, focusing on exceptions rather than reconciling from scratch.
  • Another positive impact on the ROI can be realized with the detailed audit trials on sensitive information.
  • Strong Financial Reporting is the backbone of any industry, regardless of the sector it operates in, and having an automated reconciliation tool such as ReconNET helps you attain the key objective of integrity of information in a timely fashion, to support the close process.
