Spendwise reviews

A game-changer for all our procurement needs

Opmerkingen: The software had dramatically enhanced our company's experience with spending and procurement. It has helped us with managing our sales, purchase orders, inventories and tools through a clean interface. The procurement team has been able to work together on invoices and PO's more seamlessly owing its cloud compatibility and safe online storage. We are now able to create budgets for various tasks and use Spendwise to track our overall spending. Overall experience has indeed been wonderful, highly recommended for procurement teams in multiple sectors.

Pluspunten:

Spendwise is a comprehensive tool to assess our company expenditure. It offers a user-friendly interface , one that helps us save on time and eliminate excess administrative costs. We are able to manage our invoices, purchase orders, bills and expenses in a streamlined manner. A great feature of this software is that it is possible to assign roles to users, and provide access to certain transactions, thereby ensuring that the right person can examine authorized features only.

Minpunten:

Sometimes when there is a software update, it becomes challenging to navigate through the new changes. With a lack of manuals or training, the updates can take time getting used to.

Simple and Easy

Opmerkingen: Before deciding to use Spendwise, I explored other procurement management systems/software. They were pricey and didn't seem as easy to use. Spendwise was very easy for my users to understand and I feel that I'm getting a good value for what we pay.

Pluspunten:

Before using Spendwise, my organization was generating purchase orders from spreadsheets. Spendwise was a no brainer. The interface is simple and easy to use. Navigating Spendwise is a breeze as its responsiveness is quick.

Minpunten:

As an AS9100-certified organization, it's important for us to track supplier performance. One metric that we use is supplier on-time delivery. That feature is not currently available.

Impressive Spendwise

Opmerkingen: Overall, Spendwise is a comprehensive and user-friendly platform that offers you a wide range of features to help you manage your finance more effectively.

Minpunten:

below are the points which can be improved in Spendwise.1. User Interface 2. Mobile Access 3. Mobile App4. Integration

basic needs

Opmerkingen: organization and communication was key when communicating with my co-workers on multiple projects. This helped us keep all of our orders in one location so that if one of us was not present that the others would know what had been ordered.

Pluspunten:

It allowed us to keep vendors saved for future use. We were able to reference different orders to the PO numbers. It allowed us to continue to reference old PO's to see what transaction happened that had taken place before our hire.

Minpunten:

The search engine was very specific. If we were looking for drawstring bags and it was entered in as draw string bags the search field wouldn't find it. I wish that a bit more information about the order would appear in the list screen. We would place multiple orders in a day from the same vendor. If we were searching for a particular item but the search feature didn't pull it up we would have to search through the many PO's from that particular vendor click in and closing out each one until we find the right one. Where if there was a column that showed the notes or possibly 1 line item in the PO that would help find things quicker.

Now I Know

Opmerkingen: Wish we would have purchased this system earlier. This is our first budget cycle when we have full visibility into all of our costs plus we are now able to manage inventory and fulfilment in one system. We love it if you couldn't tell!! :)

Pluspunten:

This software has solved the age old issue of knowing what everyone is spending throughout the organization. We connect all the procurement pieces in one system from purchase requisition through final invoice payment and it's cut our time to process payment by over 50%!

Minpunten:

None really. It connects to QuickBooks and the training to get everyone using the system was minimal.

Invoicing

Opmerkingen: When users create the invoices, the business office knows exactly how to handle the funds when they are received by referencing Spendwise. The customer service team has been very responsive to any question we ask.

Pluspunten:

We use Spendwise to create and track miscellaneous invoices. Before this software, we were tracking manually and it was very cumbersome. This allows us to have one place to refer to for invoice details, payment received and where we deposited the funds.

Minpunten:

There are numerous levels in creating the structure for invoice lines. I had to back my way into figuring out how to do it. Maybe if there was a diagram that indicated what items were needed to be in place before invoices could be created.

It has changed the way our company handles purchasing

Pluspunten:

Simple interface and keeps track of everything. The line item memos are great for justifying purchases. New Items can be created on the fly.

Minpunten:

A large amount of our ordering is random one off items from places like amazon or eBay, I would like better support for these types of purchases. It would be great if we could put in tracking numbers to know when orders will come in.

track POs with ease

Opmerkingen: we didn't have a customizable PO system before officewise

Pluspunten:

the filter and sort fields make it easy to find any Purchase Order quickly. The ability to email a PO straight to the vendor cuts down on repetitive actions!

Minpunten:

When I close a PO I would like the screen to refresh to the main PO list instead of having to close out of the closed PO screen.

Spendwise

Pluspunten:

The purchase order tracking is our most used feature in Spendwise.

Minpunten:

I can't think of any cons. We use the purchase order feature

Best Purchase Order Software

Pluspunten:

Spendwise is the best. I have been using Ever since I have been using it in my office I can see a significant change it's a fast, one-point system where I can do my inventory raise a purchase order, track history compare products cost get all my invoices in the same system. The best part is since it's online also I can open it from any place and be updated. It's the most logical software which is out there.

Minpunten:

It is a 5-star software. I like the software as it has helped me grow. Mostly it has saved me lots of time and man-hours searching for invoices at year-end tax time.

Excellent, user-friendly software!

Opmerkingen: Officewise offers more functionality than I expected considering it's such an affordable price. The interface is simple and very user-intuitive. My entire office is able to input data and keep things organized and up to date. We use the purchase order feature the most. The product is consistent, so I have never had any error messages or glitches like I do so often with another, more expensive software we use in-house. My favorite thing about Officewise is the ability to cross categorize my searches. The only thing I'd like to see in the future, is being able to pull up data that has any part of what I enter in the search bar, rather than having to have exact searches. Thanks for offering such a great product!

Pluspunten:

The simple design and ability to use a variety of categories to search through data.

Minpunten:

I preferred the lighter color scheme Officewise had before the most recent design update. I also need to be able to type in a partial purchase order number in the search section and have any purchase order with that info pull up in my search.

Generally good

Pluspunten:

The software provides inventory control, sales, and purchasing tools all in one easy to use application that is not overly priced.

Minpunten:

The inability to modify inventory type (inventory vs non-inventory) after creation. It would be a major improvement to allow you to change the type instead of having to create a new item.

Quick and Easy, ideal for small companies.

Opmerkingen: Organized our procurement process in a beneficial and productive way.

Pluspunten:

This software took our company from a convoluted excel based system to an organized and easy to use software platform that we love.

Minpunten:

This software lacks a few features that would be helpful but overall not critical. Being able to track lead times, order numbers, and being able to pull that list by project would be very helpful. The software would also benefit from being able to communicate with other software systems, like quickbooks.

Overall, Officewise is easy to use and a helps keep our purchase orders organized for 23 locations!

Pluspunten:

The software is very user-friendly. Easy keyword searches on past purchase orders. You can copy previous purchase orders and resubmit with minor changes, so it makes PO entry quick. You can give everyone in a department access to see past PO's of other

Minpunten:

We have had trouble with the approval process. You can select multiple approvers in the PO, but rather than going to the next approver, our POs will go back to the original person submitting the PO each time an approver approves.

Using it daily

Opmerkingen: Items should be able to be changed like deleting that aren't being used and being able to change non invorty to invorty item

Pluspunten:

I can use it on my phone. Invorty can be tracked when used right

Minpunten:

Not being able to delete items that were used or Duplicates

OfficeWise

Opmerkingen: We Love Love Love OfficeWise. We mostly use it to keep track of orders. As a busy Design Firm we need all the help we can get keeping track of furniture orders, cabinets, tile and everything we order for a project. The report system allows us to to do a print out and mark it with expected ship dates and helps us to track what is on order for several projects at once.
Best money we ever spent!

Pluspunten:

Similar to quickbooks, so if you use quickbooks you can automatically use this easily.

This software is web-based, easy to use and intuitive.

Opmerkingen: Not having to use a hard-copy system.

Pluspunten:

I can attach receipts, packing slips, RFQs, etc. directly to the Purchase Order and not have to worry about lost documents. All the information is there for anyone that needs immediate access without hassle.

Minpunten:

The search features could use a little improvement. It would be nice to be able to search on just a wildcard but does not.

Overall its fine but i dislike having to use so many different pieces of software.

Pluspunten:

Office wise is easy to use and fairly intuitive for the most part. the page is smooth and rarely gets hung up or has timeout issues.

Minpunten:

The PO can be a little glitchy when adding multiple line items at the same time, it creates a weird overlap on the job number field.

The program has definitely made the procurement work so much easier for all of us that use it. Love

Opmerkingen: It's so much easier to use then the system we were using before. It saves so much time.

Pluspunten:

Its is extremely easy to use and understand. The screens are clear, clean and very simple to use. Login is very simple

Minpunten:

Would like the complete list of PO's to come up so I don't have to scroll through long list. I can't think of another

CD BUILDERS INC

Opmerkingen: The softwave have been an excellent source for our company and very friendly for users. Service is quickly.

Pluspunten:

The easiest way to access what you need.

Minpunten:

Everybody can do changes to people. I would prefer more control.

It has helped to streamline our purchasing approval process.

Opmerkingen: A More organized PO approval process.

Pluspunten:

The email notifications are nice because it is an easy for me to know when an approval is needed from me.

Minpunten:

I would like for the PO's to show the current spend on a project along with the current budget for a project so that I can make sure we are spending within our project budgets.

Thanks for your help

Opmerkingen: What a great website. It makes business easy and painfully easy to keep track of . Thank you. Enjoy the ability to send quotes and invoices through email and then being told when the email is opened and viewed.

Pluspunten:

ease of use, the ability to edit, keeps track of all history

Minpunten:

the mobile website version is not easy to use, the screens are hard to view and the lettering and typing of new work are difficult to see and use.

Easy to use.

Opmerkingen: Overall my experience with Officewise has been good. If I can figure out how to use something, anyone can. The only difficulty I've had is when I access my account via my "smartphone".

Pluspunten:

Ease of use. I have no secretarial, business, or accounting background and I was able to figure out how to use this program.

Minpunten:

Not mobile friendly. At least with my phone. May be on my end and not program's.

This is by far the easiest software to maintain my accounts

Opmerkingen: Keeping track of all my customers and weekly invoices with ease.

Pluspunten:

The ease of the software, the format, the great customer service and it's one hundred percent dependable.

Minpunten:

There's really nothing I can say that I don't like. Maybe the only thing that needs to be adjusted is the font size of the initial layout. But of course, that's something you can adjust on your own.......

Officewise for purchase orders

Opmerkingen: We started using Officewise (formerly known as Alatus) to manage our purchase orders. It was very easy to use, got the job done and intuitive to use. It was one of only a few choices of a basic product where we do not have to invest in something more than what we needed. We are happy with it and the enhancements made have made it even easier and more complete.

Pluspunten:

Intuitive and easy to start using right away

Minpunten:

If there were some very simplistic instructions or tips that would have helped with set up. We setup before many of the upgrades were made and we could not take advantage of budgets because of how we setup the purchase orders.
