Great all-in solution
The landscape of finance solutions is enormous. Most focus on a single area, e.g. expensing, payments or invoice management and are totally disconnected from each other. With Payhawk we have an all-in-one solution that covers all areas backed by a super strong product team. As a result we can focus on what really matters for us as a fast growing startup and don’t have to waste time on admin stuff
Pros
It integrates super well with your ERP systems (e.g. Netsuite).
Cons
We started using Payhawk a couple of month ago. So far I am not missing any features. However I am looking forward to get to know new features the product team is working on.

Payhawk makes simple what before was a headache
My experience with Payhawk is very good, before I was using other softwares like Captio which were not working very well and the Artificial Intelligence failed a lot. With Payhawk is different, the ticket reading is simple and fast and the creation of reports and expenses is almost on live. I have a 200 EUR prepaid card which is always ready just for some regular shopping on stores or even Amazon which is very fast for the business.
Pros
No more ticketing control, no more saving papers that you can lose. Just take pictures of the tickets while travelling or buying some stuff for work and that's all. The AI will read all data and will introduce all numbers and dates into the app to make the automatic report.
For my company, I have 200 EUR prepaid card just for regular shopping or when one day travelling so it's very convenient.
Cons
There are no much cons actually, everything is quite visual and easy to follow. You need a short training at the beginning to understand all features but the rest is smooth.

The best expense management system
I think it was the best tool that we have. Is very useful to manage all our monthly purchases, you have it under control, you can define limits, funds and payments very easy. You can also can have the recurrent subscriptions in the same panel, to know the monthly expenses. You can pay invoices, reimburse expenses and use the credit cards.
Pros
The easy use, implement, manage and control. Also, the support team is impressive! how they follow open cases, the fast answers, their knowledge.
Cons
Is a brand new tool, so it's improving their functionalities every day. We started without the Netsuite integration, and now it's working perfectly. We have also the travelperk integration and it's very good. The best is that the product and development team is always connected with your needs and helping a lot in Payhawk grow.

PayHawk Review
The platform itself is somewhat basic, however this can been seen as a strength as it aids ease of use, and new features are being added all the time. It is much better than using the legacy paper/excel/pdf based credit card system - being able to save receipts electronically is a game changer!
Pros
OCR functionality and invoice/receipt scanning, as well as being able to block cards in real time
Cons
Our users not filling in/submitting the required expense information!

Payhawk Mobile End User
The mobile app is great and the web interface is equally slick.
Pros
I've been exposed to multiple different expense management tools over the years, and Payhawk beats them all. Simple, quick and no excuses for lost receipts or complex management of expenses. Its quick and simple from an end user perspective, which means I can process each expense as soon as it occurs and know that I will get reimbursed.
Cons
Receipt scanning could be a little slicker and automatically crop just the receipt instead of capturing the whole image.

Great application!
Pros
It is very easy to use. The customer service is very fast and helpful. They are very solution oriented and developing is quite fast.
Cons
We have been testing with the integration with NetSuite for a long period now and are still not ready to go live (currently using Sandbox) due to errors we receive when sending to NetSuite. Furthermore, reimbursements can only be done to EUR, GBP and BGN, while we have employees in whole Europe with different currencies.

Great card management system
Pros
Easy to use, makes very easy for the accounts department to track and chase for receipts on company purchases, two-step authentication is a livesaver when it comes to fraud prevention.
Cons
There is no option to archive and hide old cards. The setting up of the custom ERP process was complicated.

Incredible tool and outstanding support
Wonderful product, it has saved me loads of time reconciling invoices, chasing receipts and approving payments, it connects with Xero and makes it easier to have our records up to date and in order.
Pros
The product is really useful in everything we do in our finance team, it helps us reconcile expenses quicker and has a really cool app that reminds people when a receipt is missing. Authorising payments is a breeze using the app and when any issue presents the support team is right there to help.
Cons
In the beginning, there were a few things that needed to be adjusted in the way the information was displayed but Payhawk did their best to adjust our requirements and train us to use it and make the best out of the product.

Digitalizing spend management
Pros
- Easy of use compared to traditional company credit cards that are not digital at all- Receipt management via App & Camera the second the expense happens is helpful
Cons
- Usability of the expense overview in browser version is a little buggy. sometimes it shows open transactions when they were already taken care of. the status of the expense is not always clear and intuitive.

Payhawk experience
In general it is ok, but in case of issues it takes too long to solve it
Pros
Usability but please!!! remove "Freeze card" button from "Ask for funds". One time I suddenly pushed it and them I had so many problems. This is the same as to have "Power" and "Delete" buttons close to each other on the keayboard
Cons
See above, I mentioned the main trick that makes me mad and unhappy
