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.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Payhawk

Super intuitive, best sales/on-boarding experience

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.

better visualized expenses

total control of expenses allowing to have a secure and very strategic basis for making decisions based on expenses

Pros

Since I have managed Payhawk I have managed to have an order in my expenses that helps me not to forget pending invoices and to be able to have a better visualization of all daily expenses in real time on a single platform so as not to disperse the information and have control of invoices , accounts payable and receipts.

Cons

I like everything, however the customer service can take a while to respond, that's the only thing wrong.

Tool with great potential

Pros

It's a tool that has a lot of potential with many ease features. The interface is user friendly and the virtual payment methods are a lifesaver!

Cons

The integration with Exact has not been flawless and there is no real monthly expense reports per employee that can be generated. Each and every expense is separate and that makes it confusing.

Overall extremely satisfied

Pros

The customer support team is always prompt and efficient in answering any queries or concerns we may have. The integration with Xero is seamless and works very quickly. It saves a lot of time and effort when it comes to managing our finances and processing our month end. Payhawk also encourages employees to submit their receipts, saving us time from chasing them. Throughout our experience, we have not come across any problems or issues when it comes to making payments through Payhawk. The entire process has been smooth and hassle-free, allowing us to easily settle invoices and manage our finances efficiently. Overall, our experience with Payhawk has been outstanding and we highly recommend them.

Cons

One important area for improvement for Payhawk is streamlining the approval process for invoices. Currently, the system requires individual approval for each invoice, which can be time-consuming. Implementing a bulk approval feature would be a significant enhancement, allowing users to approve multiple invoices at once and saving them valuable time and effort.

The best expense management system I've ever used

We get great visibility of our employees T&E spend. We have built great controls with Payhawk to ensure that the burden of travel administration falls onto each employee and not the finance team. As there are late receipt system controls in place, this means that employees have to comply with receipt deadlines without it being policed by the finance team. All receipts and payments are automatically sync'd with our finance system which is seamless.

Pros

The product is very easy to use. The integration with NetSuite is a game changer for us. It couldn't be easier for employees to upload their receipts. They are constantly releasing new features to ensure they provide the best product for customers.

Cons

Its hard to think of any as new feature updates have solved previous weaknesses. The only con is that you can only have credit cards with Payhawk US and debit cards are not supported.

Luke S. Review

Pros

Receipt collection from users and issuance of debit cards

Cons

When claiming per diems, if the location is not applied specifically to the city (eg. London) but to a specific address (eg. Tower Bridge, London), the UK generic rate is picked and not the London rate.

Positive experience

Pros

The user interface is incredibly intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage our expenses effortlessly. Moreover, the support team has been outstanding, promptly addressing any concerns and providing valuable assistance. With Payhawk, I have complete control over my expenses and can generate comprehensive reports tailored to my needs, giving me a better understanding of company's financial situation.

Cons

Payhawk is its relative newness as a tool. While it offers many valuable features, there are a few that seem to be missing at the moment.

Easy to use

Pros

Is very easy to use, the reports are quite good, and its easy to find an invoice or expense

Cons

When we used payhawk and QBO we used to have a lot of issues, once we migrated to Netsuite it got much better, but we still have some issues. Main one we review the invoice and it migrates to Netsuite but for some reason the invoice/transactions stays on the to review list

Payhawk Initial Review

So far, the system looks extremely promising. We haven't had it in place for very long. The support response time has been good, but since the support team resides overseas, I do have to typically wait until the next day for a response.

Pros

I love not having to chase employees down for receipts.

Cons

A lot of employees seemed to struggle with activating their cards. I feel like it was probably user error, but it was inconvenient.

Easy to use & great service

Pros

The software is very easy to use. The service & help provided is amazing.

Cons

Sometimes Payhawk thinks it recognized the right supplier. While I have told it multiple times that the supplier has another name. It doesn't seem to 'learn' this.
