Pleo

Avantages

Before I used Pleo, expenses were a real pain and took a lot of time. I love how easy it is to set up users on Pleo, to give them limits, and for them to start using it. The virtual cards make it really quick to set people up, and the visibility of spending is great. It also gives nudges to people to add their receipts, which saves time.

Inconvénients

Pleo has a great feature for "fetching" receipts from your email inbox but this doesn't always work brilliantly so I still have to go and find the receipt manually. It'd be great if this was more reliable.

Avantages

Made life easier with the invoice and account management.

Inconvénients

I found it a little difficult to use. The user interface could be improved much.

Avantages

I liked being able to add filters to my expenses and export these to Microsoft Excel. From here I could then manipulate the data to create financial reports based on what I needed.

Inconvénients

I did not like having to manually export to Xero, along with not being able to control staff cards enough as I needed to.

Avantages

Really easy to use. Multiple cards and app logins can be set up and also added to Google wallet etc,just like a normal debit card. Ease of integration with Quickbooks is brilliant

Inconvénients

Was a bit complicated to get our first bank transfer approved but customer services quickly sorted the issue

Avantages

Great integration from payment to accounting for expenses. Individuals deal with the admin for their expenses item by item using the phone app to snap receipts (or via browser)- it's easy and saves time and lost receipts. Much easier than using a company purchase card. The only things we have to claim via an old fashioned process are things we can't pay for with a pleo card - for us, cash payments for taxis, and mileage claims. Our accountant can download all the info they need at month end easily with all the receipts.
Admin users can manage risk by setting limits - monthly or total, plus per item limits. Admin users can freeze and unfreeze cards if a user thinks they've lost their card then finds it.
Analysis lets you see quickly where your expenses spend is.

Inconvénients

Most of our spend is in one category, and while you can set up sub categories, at the moment you can't analyse spend against those subcategories. That said, pleo want to know what would make their product better, and we've already seen improvements to the app.

Avantages

Navigability, user-friendliness, display

Inconvénients

Functionality, technical errors, customer service

Avantages

It is incredibly easy to use, it has a lot of functionalities and whenever I needed help from the support team I always had a great experience.
I do a lot of purchases, probably 15 a day and I've never used an expense system in my career that was that easy.

Inconvénients

I have to say the new update isn't my favourite, funnily enough it adds more functionality (which in itself is good) but now it takes one step longer to upload a receipt (it's still incredibly quick, doesn't even take 30 seconds), but it's something I noticed.

Avantages

it is easy to use and the expense management tracker is good

Inconvénients

The card is not good enough for a company. It is not accepted in a lot of places (including google) so at the end we do not use it as much as we want

Avantages

Simple to use - Plug & Play. The experience is completely simple and smart - from the app download to the use and expensing. Pleo has cut down our expense processing and handling by at least 60% and will save several days per month when we get the full implementation and API. Fun & and fantastic easy to use for everyone in finance and to the management group.

Inconvénients

We have experienced people not being able to rent cars, because of the companys name was on the cards - we then tried out with personal names and the issues seems to be solved

Avantages

Pleo is such a sophisticated system, we have a lot of employees out and about and they can rack up a lot of expenses meaning LOTS of receipts having to be collected at the end of the month to compensate them in their wage packet. Not only is it good we can use company money for their expenses, all they have to do is snap a picture of the receipt and they've done their part! Great company, easy to use interface, brilliant support, if theres any complicated questions, PLEO will setup a webinar with one of their professionals giving you such specific assurance.

Inconvénients

I have no cons for PLEO, we haven't encountered any problems thus far and have been using the system for around 8 months.

Avantages

I has saved us lots of time with creating expense reports

Inconvénients

I pay as administrator for every company and don't use a card for Spain and Germany. The approval process is also not great because it does happen that people forget there phone.

Avantages

Beautiful interface and 1-click (almost) bookkeeping is very impressive. I save maybe 2 hour a month on reporting for myself and my teams and I don't have to keep track of my receipts in my pockets.

Inconvénients

Would be great if there was some sort of kickback but that's probably not in the EU directive that makes it legal.

Avantages

- Easy to use
- Product solves a real problem for every company (from a size of more than 6 people I would say)
- Lovely design
- Great team and company culture

Inconvénients

I can't be thinking​ of anything. Every tech product has points to improve on their journey​ but Pleo's customer success team makes it easy to raise any problems, are very helpful, quick and friendly​.

Avantages

Fast delivery of new cards makes it easy to onboard new colleagues. The setup of the new account is even easier. You can always adjust any limits made to a specific card and have overview over all recipts and invite your external revision to join.

Inconvénients

The only thing I can think of is that you have to be patient with taking a status of account. Since some payments may be pending for a day or two, you should remember that some payments may join already accounted days. But knowing this it is only a minor disturbance.

Avantages

Pleo simplifies our corporate card system, allowing an APP based system that is user friendly and simple to use. It saves the finance department at Oakbrook Finance time and effort in taking the admin out of the process.

Inconvénients

As of yet the VAT element being missing, however Pleo are quick to take on board feedback and I'm told this is being worked on to be added soon. Not many companies respond to change this quickly.

Avantages

The best thing is that you can take photos of your receipts on your phone and file them straight away which means they can't get lost!

Inconvénients

the virtual card, I feel like it isn't needed as you have the physical card details on your phone too.

Avantages

The instant alerts when a spend is made adds to security, whilst the on-the-go ability to upload and categorize expenses means a few seconds each day saves a couple of hours at the end of the month.

Inconvénients

Occasional rejections at point of purchase due to the pre-pay nature [not a software issue]

Avantages

I'm currently using PLEO daily. I save time and dont have to worry about missing document for the employees or myself.

Pleo is very simple to use and the

Inconvénients

Nothing. It does it's job every time I need it.

Avantages

The ease with which we implemented the new solution across all staff - the PLEO on-boarding team were ready with help at every moment we needed it!

Inconvénients

I cant think of anything in the process or software that I dislike!

Avantages

The app is laid out so simply. It is incredibly user friendly. Great with notifications every time you purchase something so you always know when receipts are expected. Easy upload of receipts. Easy to monitor purchases for fraud due to the notifications. Customer service is quick to reply and eager to assist. Freezing and unfreezing cards is effortless. Highly recommend. LOVE submitting photos instantly, rather than holding on to several paper receipts all the time.

Inconvénients

My organization has not given us enough categories to choose from or categories that are understandable when purchasing and I have taken this up with them. The app/software itself is amazing.

Avantages

Really easy to set up and input information using the app.

Inconvénients

Having two card details (virtual and plastic), seems unnecessary.

Avantages

That I can transfer transactions and receipts to my accounting system, it is easy to add funds to our wallet, and i can create new users and order new cards in no time

Inconvénients

The project module. I am really looking forward to when the projekt module is up and running. I can still transfer the project costs and receipts to our accounting system but i have to adjust the transactions manually in my system to make sure that they are entered on the right projects

Avantages

Private creditcard not used
Easy to use
It just works

Inconvénients

Mileage and other expense where Pleo card can not me leveraged still needs to be done manually. Solutions like Skovik has it but they do not have a card.

Avantages

Employees using the cards saves a lot of time and they are all very happy with the solution. Accounting saves a lot of time with the booking - and even more time because we do not need to chase collegues for missing receipts. It is very fast and easy to get new cards for new employees.

Inconvénients

Not integrated with our finance system (Uniconta) - we need to attach the receipts manually when the transactions are imported

Avantages

Everything! Easy to use. It is time saving. The software runs smoothly!

Inconvénients

I can't really think of one thing I liked the least.
