I think Dots is simple to get up and running, which is nice. I also found the initial setup to be pretty easy, making it quick for us to start paying independent contractors.

All of the payout options are in front of me to pick from

What I like most about Dots is that our employees can send customer payouts directly. Before Dots, employees had to ask a manager to send the funds, which added another step and often slowed down the transaction. Now, the employee helping the customer can handle the payout themselves from start to finish. This reduces the back-and-forth with managers and allows the customer to receive their payment without waiting for someone else to process it. It has also removed a bottleneck from our daily operations. Managers do not have to stop what they are doing to handle routine payouts, and employees can take care of more of the transaction on their own. This saves time, keeps the process moving, and makes it easier for us to handle a higher volume of payouts without adding the same amount of extra work. The time we get back and the revenue generated through the payout process help Dots pay for itself. We are also exploring API integrations as we migrate to our new system. Connecting Dots to our internal workflows could reduce manual entry and make it easier to manage payout information in one place. The documentation has been helpful while we review the available integration options and determine what will work best for our setup. We are still evaluating the integration, but it could help us build a more connected process and make the system easier to use as our operations continue to grow.
