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.

Great spend solution

Pros

Automatic integration of expenses with the ERP, I've tried other tools and they do not reach the level of payhawk. They also have an excellent support team

Cons

I have not been using it for long (less than 6 months) but so far when there is a problem, they know how to respond.

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.

PayHawk user - accounting side

PayHawk is a good product, although it´s quite a bit hard for us in Accounting because people don´t upload the receipts or invoices

Pros

Easy to use for users but sadly not for accountants

Cons

We are always late reconciling the account because people don´t upload documents. It make me appreciate the traditional liquidation process, PayHawk should improve on this side.

User friendly but still a few features to improve

Pros

Very user friendly and easy to integrate with Xero.

Cons

Still features to improve: Allow the import of suppliers and their bank details so this doesn't need to be entered manually.Their scanning system needs improvement too.

Hassle free card

It's overall a good product to manage expenses for employees, travel spending, etc.

Pros

Easy to keep expenses on track, and to integrate with Google Pay

Cons

Some issues with Curve integration with old Visa card. Mastercard card worked well and now they switched again back to Visa, so let's see

Has become essential to the operation of our business.

We have a high volume of transactions across many, short-lived projects. Payhawk keeps our teams on budget and in control of spending.

Pros

Immediate access to spending, oversight for management, reduces friction of collecting paperwork.

Cons

The UI of the website can be cumbersome and prone to breaking completely. Customer service can be slow or uncooperative at times.

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!

Satisfying and easy to use

Pros

I can easily upload all expense papers from everywhere I am. Good control on the expences via the politics section and the requesting funds method.Very useful way of managing all cards, employees access and funds.

Cons

I thing it would be better if all costs marked by the cost owner as reimursable may have an option to be denied by the company without being deleted, so a tracking history remains.

okey but not brilliant

We actually expected more than what we receive, but overall, the service its okey

Pros

I like the facility of having all the paymement an the receipts in one platform, so you Know exatly the cost od the thingh you buy; I like the cashback; It's easy to use and all the employees can uses it

Cons

Cost too much, the integration with our ERP wasn't good; , you need to pay if you want a physical credit card, and Payhawk dont read all the information from the receipt well, so in taht point need to improve

PAYHAWK is a game changer

Pros

What I like most about PAYHAWK? Well, that is easy. First of all, intuitive Design, easy to use and implement and most importantly, good customer support.

Cons

I really feel the impact of a missing SAP integration. That is PAYHAWK's greatest flaw in my humble opinion.
