What do you like best about Quadient Accounts Payable?

Sage AP Automation streamlines and automates the entire accounts payable workflow within Sage ERP, enhancing accuracy, visibility, and control from purchase order to payment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quadient Accounts Payable?

Settlement Times for Quadient AP Payments after payment is released takes too long and vendors have a bad experience trying to set up ACH. While they are willing to complete the necessary forms, they mentioned that REPAY is requesting three additional documents - documents they do not have and have never been asked to provide in the past. Several of our vendors have expressed frustration with the ACH setup process, stating that REPAY's requirements are making it unnecessarily difficult to receive payments by ACH.

"Great Product and Professional Team"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quadient Accounts Payable?

The team was great to work with. They kept in constant contact, and were there whenever I had any questions with quick replies. Also, the system is very user-friendly and intuitive. The implementation process was also super quick and painless! Integrated perfectly with our current finance database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quadient Accounts Payable?

The 1 thing I would recommend for improvement would be a quicker read of invoices sent to the system. We had to wait about a day to be able to process the invoices read by the system (not entered manually), so that was an adjustment for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quadient Accounts Payable?

Implementation process to sync with Sage 100 was confusing and took a few meetings to figure out what needs to be done. Tickets sometimes take too long to solve the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple for users and surprisingly flexible for administrators"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quadient Accounts Payable?

The platform is really user friendly and easy on the eye. Implementation was thorough and the approval workflows we set up were complicated but work very well in the background. It rarely requires any kind of constant attention or troubleshooting. I was worried that it would be hard to build in the level of complexity with budgets, entities, workflows and have seperate concurring approvals for Purchase Orders and Invoices but Quadient have successfully built that for us, to match our company approval structure. Very pleased so far!

Also very pleased with the level of technical and commercial support I've received. Never more than an email/phone call away and never really been told there isn't a solution to my problem. Given this is something that is used by the whole company and every day, it's very satisfying that it works as well as it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quadient Accounts Payable?

The only downside I would say is the connection with Netsuite. At a basic level, it works very well and I do appreciate most of the issues are due to Netsuite's functionality but it would be great to be able to add amortization schedules and have Beanworks work with Netsuite's addons too.

"A reasonable start to an AP system with some low hanging fruit to improve (could be brilliant)"
3/5
What do you like best about Quadient Accounts Payable?

The User Interface is easy to understand and makes tracking where PO's and invoices are sitting within the approval process very clear.

The software builds a clear link between PO's and the invoices.Providing the supplier puts the PO number on the invoice, the software will automatically link the draft invoice with the PO.

User are able to see clearly what is outstanding for them to review rather than having invoices stuck in inboxes, approvals missed etc.

Good account and support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quadient Accounts Payable?

Below updated on 29/1/25 following initial review on 5 November 2024.

There was a previous bug which meant that invoices regularly failed to export from Beanworks into Xero. Approximately one month ago this bug was fixed and the link between the two is now working well.

OCR on the basic package captures very little information. We previously used the forwarding email address for processing invoices in Xero and I would say that this software captures no more information than that did (and that was free). If you were previously typing in invoices, I would imagine that this software will still save you time in the long run.

For those that are used to holding PDF's of the invoices within Xero, the PDFs are not exported from Quadient and are not attached as PDF's to the transaction. Instead, if you open the Bill in Xero, it gives a hyperlink to take you back to Quadient. This is very frustrating if you're used to being able to refer to the invoice when reviewing things like Aged Payables where you can preview the PDF of the invoice directly from the Aged Payables / Bill to Pay report.

The way that the system deals with VAT seems illogical in terms of its claim of "streamling liability accruals".

The core premise is good and if they addressed some of these issues, I feel they'd have a big impact on the effectiveness of the software for what I'd imagine is not much effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
