## SoftCo AP Automation Reviews
  ### 1. We got there in the end.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Darren K. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 24, 2023

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

SoftCo AP automation is an extremely good system for workflow of cases, approval and sign-off.  It also has very strong audit capabilities.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The UI can be cumbersome and processes complex to complete.  

Performance can is underwhelming at times and the system requires consistant monitoring and housekeeping, over and above what we'd experience with other systems.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use AP Automation for 2 main purposes.  Automation of matching of our "Goods For Resale" invoices to which we integration PO and Goods In data from our ERP and presently achieve an automated match of c.75-80%.  Given our volumes for this stream of invoicing, c. 500k per annum, its imperative the system is efficient in order to keep the headcount under control.  For queries we use AP Automation to mange query resolution workflow and it does this well.

Additionally, for our expense invoices we use AP Automation to mange the workflow, verfication and authorisation of these transactions.  The system does this well and has completely removed paper (except in some circumstances with the original vendor invoice) from our internal processes and provided us with clear visibility of each invoice in the approval chain.

  ### 2. Softco - a success story

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nick S. | Senior Finance, Systems & Projects Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023

SoftCo provided a tailored end-to-end purchase to pay solution that met the requirements of our business in a practical and friendly manner. 
SoftCo works. It is simple to use for our internal customers and our suppliers. The helpdesk support is excellent.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

It is a great solution. However, additional enhancements to the supplier portal would be good to make it as simple as possible to use for them so as to minimise contact with our PL team.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has automated our purchase to pay process and so has reduced the amount of manual processing so increasing posting accuracy and an improved supplier experience.
We are able to focus on using preferred audited suppliers.
Employees are accountable for the POs they raise.

  ### 3. Automation of PO process made easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alan G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2023

The implementation of Softco has removed the need for paper PO's moving around the office for approval. Everything is online and easily traceable. It even allows our overseas colleagues to participate in the approval process where required.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

With some tasks, the number of clicks and positioning of buttons on the screen to complete a task can be a little annoying. Redesign of the front end with data entry in mind.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Replaced our previous paper process. It speeds up the approval rate as approvers no longer need to be onsite. 
This has freed up so much time that can be dedicated to other areas of the business.

  ### 4. Softco - excellent vendor and system

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2023

The implementation team were fantastic to deal with.

No major dislikes. Reporting and Analytics could be a little stronger but these are bespoke requirements to our organisation.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows use  to meet our requirement for a four eyes principle to approve spend within our organisation. Workflow allows for spend to channelled to the correct approver so that there are no delays. Integration with our accounting system leads to a seamless process

**Reviewed Date:** February 21, 2023

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

SoftCoAP allows our Accounts Payable team to process Purchase Orders from our ERP efficiently and make sure vendor invoices are paid in a timely manner.  The SoftCoAP support team partners with our IT team to troubleshoot and solve any problems that arise.

Our AP team would like more robust reporting functionality within SoftCoAP. It's possible that this will be addressed in the new version 10.6

The processing of Purchase Orders from our ERP and automating the payment of invoices between SoftCoAP and our ERP.
The ease of use has helped to make our Accounts Payable team more productive.

  ### 6. SoftCo Convert

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The best thing about SoftCo is the instant automation. 

This is super effective when you have an overdue invoice to clear and can process and get approved quickly.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Too many buckets to work through sometimes make it challenging to find which bucket an invoice is located in, and This could be improved by reducing the number of buckets or making it more transparent where the invoice is.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Quicker automatic matching.  I like that the platform immediately enables auto-matching; the invoices do not need an overnight update.  This speeder auto-match has allowed a much smoother transaction process,  with fewer invoices having to be manually matched.  Our automatic matching has improved from around 55% on our previous platform to about 67%.

**Official Response from Sophie Dodgson:**

> Hi,

Sophie from SoftCo here. Can I suggest that you raise a ticket with Customer Support, and they will be able to help you with this issue.

  ### 7. Allows larger volumes to be processed but not without it's teething issues

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aimee W. | Finance Systems Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 16, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Being able to easily give non finance business users the access to view and approve invoices as required with being able to see the document and also be able to see the history of the approvals

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Being able to extract out data through reports and review how the team are performing is a real issue for us at the moment, it's not enabled us to easily set KPIs and monitor the team and suppliers we are processing

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Softco has enabled us to easily remote work for any location, the AP team is also 90% paper free and the ability to see any document without having to ask a specific member of the team to get the information is invaluable

  ### 8. Primark Finance Review and Experience

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brendan C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2023

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Softco AP Automation is quite user friendly and easy to navigate around. It does the basics well and is flexible that you can automate processing.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Reporting is not flexible and self sufficient. Consultancy is required for small to medium changes post implementation. Post implementation support is limited.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Reducing manual imput of data. Allowing for Straight Through Processing to a high percentage. Complying with internal controls and data retention.

  ### 9. From sales team to implementation and support; pleasure of working with

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alexandre A. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2023

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Honesty and transparency. And the product is solid. We had very minimal technical issues rolling this out and anytime there is a question or an issue the Softco team is prompt to reply

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

I honestly do not have any bad comments (and trust me; I'm always the type to find issues with vendors)

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Too many invoices are generated monthly, and matching them would take up to 3 resources full-time. This has allowed us to remove that burden and re allocate those resources on other, more productive tasks

  ### 10. Softco AP Automation

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gary G. | Sr. Financial Information Systems Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The most helpful functionality within Softco has been the Posting Models and template imports.  These are very handy, especially with vendor invoices that have multiple GL Accounts and Cost Center allocations.  Softco has also helped a great deal when it comes to month-end accruals.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Once an invoice has been sent out to be verified or approved, I cannot see the invoice in any folders other than the main search of all invoices.  It would be helpful if there was a specific folder of "invoices sent for approval" which would have those all in one place.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Softco has allowed us to move away from a completely paper-based process that was very much manual.  Having all of the vendor invoices in one place that is easily searchable has been a tremendous help for accruals and researching vendor inquiries.  Once the invoices are approved and sent to our ERP, they post automatically without human intervention which saves a lot of work for the AP staff.

**Official Response from Sophie Dodgson:**

> Dear Gary,

This is Sophie from SoftCo here. Within SoftCoAP there is a feature that gives you the visibility you are looking for.  Within the “Monitoring” folder (available to AP Team users) navigate to “Awaiting Approval” and if you select by user this will give you the detail you are after. If you would like to contact our Customer Support team, they can arrange a session to assist you with this.

invoice processing

  ### 12. We have had some glitches

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The ability to view invoice and payment information.  This cuts down extremely on in-house inquiries.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The most irritating is to have to log in to capture when you are already in AP automation.  Also we have a a tab called leftover which we have trouble understanding why invoices go there,

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Save an enormous amount of time on data entry for the AP specialist

  ### 13. Flawless integration

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gabriel  D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

From the technical side, the integration was flawless from start to end. The entire process of Analyze and implementation we had support and returns always within the deadlines.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Api documentation is a little confusing but after some meetings to clarify everything was ok.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Management of invoice payments & automatic payments in ERP

  ### 14. SoftCo Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lisa M. | Finance Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Pre approval on spend is key, issuing reqs and only having the PO issued on approval has been a game changer for processing invoices. Having pre determined approval routes has also ensured the correct budget holder approves the cost

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The main area I feel needs improvement is the archive module. It's not user friendly and the information available is not sufficient. I would also like to see improvements on the manual matching aspect of invoices to multi row PO's

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As above, our main issue prior to implementing the system was a lack of records for pre approval of spend. The lack of paper now in use has also been a great benefit

**Official Response from Sophie Dodgson:**

> Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the feedback. On the matching side of things, there have been some significant changes to our matching interface. If you contact Customer Support and they will put you in touch with your Customer Success Manager who will be able to take you through this in more detail.

Thanks,
Sophie  

  ### 15. Softco

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Retail | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Softco AP automation has allowed us to move to a completley paper- free office, this was a massive turning point for us during lockdown, the business took a massive upturn and the system allowed us to continue to work from home and manage the new workload.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

We have had a few issues, this was mainly because we had to do the the training via zoom, which wasnt ideal, we also needed to be up and running quickly, I also would like to have a few more filters installed especailly dates.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our monthyl invoices have increased from 9500 per month to just over 20,000, because of the system we were able to process the invoices through the system with only employing a couple more members of staff, if we tried to manually process this growth we would of had to increase by at least 4 members of staff, so this is a huge saving for us, 80% of our invoices flow straight through the system for payment.

  ### 16. Accounts Payable Transformation

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Logistics and Supply Chain | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

The SoftCo tool was easy to implement and has been transformative for our business.  The tool has allowed our AP department to streamline processes and provides the business users full visibility to invoice status through the payment lifecycle.   The user interface is simple to use and provides useful linkages to purchase orders and payment status.  The invoice record history tracks every step of the payment process.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

While SoftCo provides very detailed user guides, it would have been helpful to have simplified training materials to use during the user onboarding and go-live period and embedded help search capability within the tool.

**Recommendations to others considering SoftCo AP Automation:**

I would highly recommend the use of SoftCo to automate manual AP processing and to provide an archive of invoices.  Allocate sufficient time to test the integrations with existing ERP platforms and to train end-users on the use of the tool.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The SoftCo tool provides full visibility to the end-to-end accounts payable process and has helped to identify and eliminate non-value-added tasks.  The tool provides a platform to archive electronic copies of invoices with the processing history for future reference.

**Official Response from Sophie Dodgson:**

> Hi, 

Thanks so much for this feedback. We have introduced hover help functionality and Context Sensitive help in addition to the SoftCo Knowledge Hub. Can I suggest you contact our Customer Success team, and they can give you more information?

Thanks again, 
Sophie 

  ### 17. Great tool for today's working environment

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2023

One place to keep track of paperless invoices.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Too many exceptions, that should have been matched and routed.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We need the same amount of staff to process the increased volume of invoices, year to year. Greater efficiency.

  ### 18. The software is very intuitive and has helped us tremendously with our AP.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Harjit D. | AP Coordinator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

We love the fact that the software keeps a record of every invoice. Also, it helps us with internal controls by showing a record of all approvers. Sending invoices to the appropriate approver is very easy as well.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

There is not much that we dislike. An area for improvement can be that sometimes the invoice reading software(Readsoft) crashes. But a quick restart usually fixes this. (Less than a 1 minute fix)

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has helped us with internal controls and has saved us a lot of time processing invoices and getting approvals. Invoices with discrepancies are quickly looked after and there is visibility of everything.

  ### 19. Professional, reliable piece of Software.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Natasha W. | Purchase Ledger Clerk, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Softco makes the day to day processing of invoices quick and simple. The majority of the invoices we receive are processed automatically by SoftCo with no problems.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

There is a bit of a delay when you have to manually process some invoices. The loading bar takes a while to complete and show the changes you have made on the invoices.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Due to the volume of invoices we receive as a company, the SoftCo application has saved us a lot of time by not having to manually process each and every invoice onto Sage.

  ### 20. Softco has significantly reduced the touchpoints we had with paper invoices and approvals.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 19, 2022

**What do you like best about SoftCo AP Automation?**

I love that everything is available digitally and there's an audit trail that tracks everywhere an invoice has been. This is important for us to determine breakdowns in our process and outline areas for improvement to more efficiently process our payables.

**What do you dislike about SoftCo AP Automation?**

Multiple queues for invoices to fall into and sometimes cases get stuck in a queue that cannot be handled by our team. It can cause invoices to get lost in the system, ultimately causing past due payments with our vendors.

**What problems is SoftCo AP Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The majority of our payables are digital now and it allows a team of payables to process invoices rather than specific people owning certain vendors. This is key in our growing organization to prevent bottlenecks and efficiently process payables.

**Official Response from Sophie Dodgson:**

> Hi,

Sophie here from SoftCo. We are always improving SoftCoAP and you will be glad to hear that we have consolidated the number of folders in SoftCo. If you contact Customer Support and they will put you in touch with our Customer Success team who will be able to take you through this in more detail.
