### "Best Purchase Order Software"

November 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

Spendwise is the best. I have been using Ever since I have been using it in my office I can see a significant change it's a fast, one-point system where I can do my inventory raise a purchase order, track history compare products cost get all my invoices in the same system. The best part is since it's online also I can open it from any place and be updated. It's the most logical software which is out there.

Cons

It is a 5-star software. I like the software as it has helped me grow. Mostly it has saved me lots of time and man-hours searching for invoices at year-end tax time.

### "Invoicing"

December 12, 2022

5.0

When users create the invoices, the business office knows exactly how to handle the funds when they are received by referencing Spendwise. The customer service team has been very responsive to any question we ask.

Pros

We use Spendwise to create and track miscellaneous invoices. Before this software, we were tracking manually and it was very cumbersome. This allows us to have one place to refer to for invoice details, payment received and where we deposited the funds.

Cons

There are numerous levels in creating the structure for invoice lines. I had to back my way into figuring out how to do it. Maybe if there was a diagram that indicated what items were needed to be in place before invoices could be created.

### "basic needs"

August 3, 2017

3.0

organization and communication was key when communicating with my co-workers on multiple projects. This helped us keep all of our orders in one location so that if one of us was not present that the others would know what had been ordered.

Pros

It allowed us to keep vendors saved for future use. We were able to reference different orders to the PO numbers. It allowed us to continue to reference old PO's to see what transaction happened that had taken place before our hire.

Cons

The search engine was very specific. If we were looking for drawstring bags and it was entered in as draw string bags the search field wouldn't find it. I wish that a bit more information about the order would appear in the list screen. We would place multiple orders in a day from the same vendor. If we were searching for a particular item but the search feature didn't pull it up we would have to search through the many PO's from that particular vendor click in and closing out each one until we find the right one. Where if there was a column that showed the notes or possibly 1 line item in the PO that would help find things quicker.

### "Spendwise helps you keep track of money in a fast-moving business."

March 19, 2024

5.0

It helps me keep a spending diary outlining almost every interaction I have with merchants.

Pros

The ease with which I can find a supplier for a rare commodity, see how much the market rate is for different things, or what we spent on it in the past.

Cons

The only gripes I have are byproducts of the process of manually entering information, and when I can't find something in Spendwise because I didn't describe it very well in the program.

### "Makes My Job So Much Easier"

September 26, 2023

4.0

Pros

Easy to set up and use, saves our company thousands a year by controlling cost and waste.

Cons

Searching for specific details you need to pull a report, it would be nice if the search bar were more specific.

Reason for choosing Spendwise

I researched 10 to 15 companies before choosing Spendwise, all of them were 5+ times more in price and there customer service was mostly overseas. When I called Spendwise they answered their phone and walked me through setup and use quickly and easily.

September 28, 2023

4.0

Pros

The product is easy to use, and you can organize your spendwide with different companies with their different vendors

Cons

When I started using the spend wise was hard for me to close the purchase order, basically when you received a lot of bills at the same time, but after I started using it more often it was smoother and faster

### "Cloud-based PO System that fits our needs."

September 28, 2023

5.0

Spendwise does exactly what I need it to do, without any bloat. I don't have to maintain an on-prem PO solution and the database backend stuff that comes with it.

Pros

Easy to make PDFsnd email them.Going back to edit or copy previous purchase orders.

Cons

Being able to pre-define a department list would be nice, but not a dealbreaker. If it's there it hasn't jumped out at me.

December 13, 2022

Pros

It's easy to use and does what it is designed to.

Cons

I can't think of anything that I don't like about it since we only use it for submitting purchase orders.

### "Generally good"

October 4, 2017

4.0

Pros

The software provides inventory control, sales, and purchasing tools all in one easy to use application that is not overly priced.

Cons

The inability to modify inventory type (inventory vs non-inventory) after creation. It would be a major improvement to allow you to change the type instead of having to create a new item.

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

October 10, 2017

Thank you for your feedback Lisa. I understand your point about allowing users to modify type so that you don't have to create a new item if you want to change. The tricky part is what to do with past transactions since they would have been handled in the system based on type when they were recorded. We think it is important to be consistent with how different types of transactions are handled in the system but also feel it is important to maintain the integrity of historical data. That said we are always open to new ideas on how we can improve the system and I will follow-up with you directly to further discuss.

### "OfficeWise is easy to work with and does the basics of what we need."

October 4, 2017

5.0

Pros

The software is easy to use, understand and to show others how to use. The ability to email POs with terms attached makes ordering very simple.

Cons

Some of the reporting is limited. It would be nice to generate a report that provides invoices by sales rep. Also, a report showing remaining open balance on a sales order. Some of the parameters in setting users up is limiting. I have a need for letting people view all sales orders but not be able to change them.

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

October 6, 2017

Thank you for your feedback Charles. We do have a report for sales orders by sales rep but currently not one for invoices by sales rep as you point out. I think that adding this report is certainly worth considering and will discuss internally to see what we can do. As for user access parameters we are planning to provide more options like what you describe within the next few months.

### "Great PO system!"

January 9, 2019

5.0

As our PO platform this has enabled us to generate PO's regardless of where we are and can easily submit to a manger for approval. It is a great platform.

Pros

We have been using Officewise for our PO needs and couldn't be happier. The ability manage the system is self explanatory. They have great customer service!

Cons

We have not had any issues with Officewise. The platform is straight forward and easy to use.

### "huge improvement over our previous manual system"

September 27, 2017

4.0

better order efficiency

Pros

1) approval process is now instantaneous. Previous manual system could take days. 2) I like the ability to search part numbers for repeat orders by part name or supplier.

Cons

does not provide system to maintain consistent part name / number so each user conforms to common system - which leads to duplicates

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

September 29, 2017

Thank you for your feedback Scott. To reduce the risk of duplication the system does prevent users from creating new items that have the same Item ID as an existing item but we understand sometimes that is not enough to prevent duplication. To further reduce risk and maintain consistency in part name/number we recommend limiting which users can add new parts through roles so that only certain authorized users can add new items. I will follow-up with you directly to show you how this can be done.

### "Overall review"

June 8, 2018

3.0

Pros

Ability to easily add items. Always available with easy login from any computer. Good ability to edit items without having to create new ones.

Cons

A cumbersome search feature that won't always work, especially if some label is already existing in a box at the top of the page. Sometimes the search feature just returns blank returns. Need more searchable fields in the top header. Need the ability to rename fields and then be able to search them in the top header.

June 20, 2018

Thank you for your feedback Randy! I agree that we could make improvements to search although what is currently available should be working. I will follow-up with you directly to resolve any issues with the current search functionality and further discuss what we can do to improve in the future.

### "It's wise to use OfficeWise"

December 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

\- Cloud functionality allows all users to interact from anywhere - Reasonably priced

Cons

\- Difficult initial learning curve - Search feature doesn't give results sometimes

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

December 19, 2018

Thank you for your feedback. Search feature should work as long as what you enter in the search field exactly matches text on the record you are looking for but we agree it could be improved. I am sorry to hear you found initial learning curve difficult and would love to hear how we can make it easier. I will reach out directly to further discuss.

### "OfficeWise"

December 8, 2016

5.0

We Love Love Love OfficeWise. We mostly use it to keep track of orders. As a busy Design Firm we need all the help we can get keeping track of furniture orders, cabinets, tile and everything we order for a project. The report system allows us to to do a print out and mark it with expected ship dates and helps us to track what is on order for several projects at once. Best money we ever spent!

Pros

Similar to quickbooks, so if you use quickbooks you can automatically use this easily.

### "Spendwise has helped with non-necessary expenses."

April 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

We used to manage office expenses in a very casual and non-itemized way. After implementing expenses into Spendwise we were able to see what subscriptions we were paying for, how costly our internet service had gotten over the years, and where we need to adjust budgets for business luncheons.

Cons

It would be nice if SpendWise offered more to their basic account offering as well as integrate a mobile app for when you are leisurely checking in on spending on the go.
