Monitoring and control of expenses.
Comments: pendesk is a very effective expense control platform, which has allowed us to avoid budget disasters in our area and to keep a record of corporate card transactions that allows us to identify inappropriate expenses.
Pros:
I like being able to track expenses in real time. It gives us the ability to issue virtual cards to make payments and receive reimbursements. It makes it easy to pay for subscriptions.
Cons:
There is nothing I dislike about Spendesk.
Control of budget movements.
Comments:
Spendesk monitors our department's expenses to avoid unnecessary or lavish spending.
It helps to keep a healthy accounting, pay subscriptions and issue invoices to customers.
Pros:
I like being able to issue virtual cards for unforeseen expenses or employee travel, keeping a very detailed record of expenses in case of an audit.
Cons:
There is nothing I dislike about this platform.
easy clean neat software
Pros:
it has a very easy and simple user interface. With this software, we track all our expenses, bills, reimbursement, cash spends, dealer invoice, purchase order etc. The best thing is it can be assessed over the app/ through a phone
Cons:
Sometimes when we upload bills autofill doesn't work. But after a time one tends to get a hang of it as to what type of bill need to be manually filled .
Effective cost control.
Comments:
Spendesk is a platform that has helped us optimize our budgets and control our employees' expenses.
It allows us to run expense reports with the data it collects and design new expense and budget execution guidelines based on those reports.
Pros:
It allows me to issue cards when I or any employee in my department needs them. It allows me to make online payments and generate invoices, receive reimbursements and monitor compliance.
Cons:
I have no complaints with this platform.
Great efficiency tool for small companies
Pros:
It greatly improves the purchasing workflow, all the way through to payments and accounting. It decentralises purchasing, while keeping control of the whole process with the decision makers. It's very intuitive to use - I never have to train new employees on Spendesk. The customer support level is the best I've ever seen, and they are constantly adding new features and improving the existing ones.
Cons:
It costs money. But compared to the employee time saved by using it, as well as the added value compared to manual processes, it's money very well spent.

Managing marketing spend for different clients in a matter of seconds
Comments: Finally a tool to manage marketing spends from one single place. Creating virtual cards is easy and fast. Attach them to the desired 3rd party tool and you can start tracking the spendings.
Pros:
Before Spendesk all of our client's marketing spend was with our own corporate card. Making it hard to track and match each transaction to the according client. With Spendesk this is being done automatically so we can easily print the transaction history per client. All those costs can be calculated to the client so this is fault-prove.
Cons:
Spendesk doens't work with credit, so you have to be sure to add enough funds to the account. This isn't a big problem, but with lots of marketing spend this has to be done frequently.
Alternatives Considered:
Makes daily expenses tasks super easy
Pros:
Spendesk is very easy to use and at an affordable price point. Since it is cloud-based, I can access it from any computer, at home or the office. It is sleek and easy to find what I'm looking.
Cons:
Since it is a cloud-based software, it is dependent on a reliable internet connection
Simple and effective
Pros:
Easy to use, the app has an intuitive design. The customer support is fast and efficient.
Cons:
I had a few payment failures but they solve the issue almost immediately.
Amazing software!
Comments:
With Spendesk we are able to speed up the organization process of our business trips.
Everything is way faster with Spendesk!
Pros:
It's extremely easy to use, no time to waste. Spendesk can help a company to increase its effectiveness.
Cons:
Be able to do different payments with a temporary Virtual Credit Card.

Forest Admin uses Spendesk
Comments:
Forest is a Saas company. As any saas company we have a lot of online spending : IT, subscriptions (git, adobe, etc) or travel expenses to visit our customers.
We had only 1 credit card (mine) B.S (as Before Spendesk :p) which was used for every subscription leading to problems. I could not have a clear view on all my subscriptions ! I was also blocked because of spending monthly limit...
Using Spendesk helped me to control each and every one of my subscription + no monthly limit.
I also use Spendesk for all my online spending and don't lose time at the end of the month chasing for invoices (something which is time-consuming and that I hate on a personal level).
Pros:
issue 1 card per subscription with budgets autonomy given to the other guys in my teams -> they can do the purchases themselves and I can use the customized approval flow to delegate the validation
Cons:
I am the one not putting my invoices on the platform now and my accountant knows exactly that this is not on one of my employees' side

Thanks for your feedbacks Sandro ! Glad to see that Spendesk helps you at Forest :)
Easy to use and an enjoyable experience
Comments: It makes my life (and my bosses life!) so much easier. By giving me a budget I can spend with I don't have to pester by boss for money/company card access. I don't have to wait for expenses to be paid at the end of each month, I don't even have to log expenses! I also don't have to worry about losing receipts as I upload them straight away, and if I don't, Spendesk reminds me and questions why. It's a very intuative and user friendly platform.
Pros:
The app - the ability to instantly upload receipts on the go (and reminders if you don't!), updates on balance, pin easily available through the app.
Cons:
The sign up process wasn't as smooth as it could have been, I can't remember why or how now as it was a while ago but I remember getting my card in the post, with little instruction/information about what to do next. I then managed to 'sign up' but didn't register my card for ages as I thought I'd done that by signing up.

Thank you so much Natalie for your amazing review! We're so happy to read all your feedbacks, and we improved our customer onboarding process to avoid further confusion as you just mentioned :)
Manages accounting better than other pieces of software!
Pros:
Spendesk allows me to pay in a B2B environment, while having full visibility on realtime spending and accounting at the end of the month!
Cons:
I wish I had known before that I could connect Spendesk with my accounting software: I would have saved so much time!
Best Tool for Consolidating Company Spending
Pros:
Spendesk has been invaluable in making it easy and straight forward to make company purchases. Setting up purchases is quick and painless, and if managed correctly easy to track all of your spending and invoices.
Cons:
Would maybe like an option to create a department card which can be used multiple times but still has the limits and tracking capabilities, but which doesn't fall under the subscription use case.

Pros:
- The speed of funds being ready to spend on my card after making my request and it being authorised. - Not being reliant on company card holder being in the office to use the company card
Cons:
I haven't experienced any issues with spendesk so far

Thank you so much Holli for your super nice review. We are glad to help you better manage your spending. Have a nice day :)
Surprisingly helpful and efficient
Comments: Spendesk allowed WeTek to manage all the paperwork related to its employees T&E, using a more efficient and correct approach. We've also improved the flexibility regarding one-off online purchases and regular subscriptions. Expenses management became simpler and its platform is very intuitive. A very good experience and I would definitely recommend it.
Pros:
Automatic supplier identification and the ability to invoice the amount of documents uploaded. The user reminder feature is very useful, as well as its reports.
Cons:
It would be interesting to be able to select the expiration date of the issued credit cards. Also, physical credit cards should somehow enforce company spending policies.

Easy to use
Comments: My experience has been very satisfactory.
Pros:
The tool is very easy to use; the drag and drop functionality is very convenient. The alerts to know when to upload an invoice are very helpful.

Nothing so far; but it is true that I am a basic user (maybe the accounting team would have more feedback to give).
Great simple tool
Comments: Great software that allows me to finally no need to keep the receipts to claim expenses as a constant business traveller.
Pros:

Cons:
So far, the problems were solved and quite efficient.
