### "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

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.

### "This is a great accounting and financing software for businesses."

August 4, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like that it's really affordable. It's also intuitive, and with time, it becomes a great time saver when it comes to managing finances.

Cons

I don't really have an issue with this software that stands out as a con.

### "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.

Thank you for your feedback Brittney. Agree that we need to improve search functionality and it is on our "to do" list.

### "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.

### "Officewise"

November 21, 2018

4.0

Pros

Very nice program for handling many functions within your organization. Keeps track of inventory, allows you to create invoices, reports, banking, etc. Endless things to help keep your business organized and efficient.

Cons

It may not be as great as microsoft office or other apps because it tends to charge a higher monthly fee. But you could weigh your options versus the price to other software.

### "fine"

December 13, 2017

4.0

Lets me generate POs for vendors that require them.

Pros

Free and easy to use. No annoying advertising. Works on all web browsers. Service has been reliable - never tried to use it and couldn't.

Cons

Some things could be even easier if the interface were redesigned. Haven't used it a lot - I can get our POs out which is all I need to do with it.

### "Great software, very affordable"

December 30, 2018

4.0

The particular client that I am looking for an accounting software was not sure yet what he really wants but I recommended this software and give him my pros and cons, for his business I think is the ideal software, really friendly and affordable, I hope he'll decide for this one

Pros

As an accounting I like the software, have everything any small business needs, the fact that I can create and send the invoice directly to the costumer is a big plus, because you don't need paper in this green era.

Cons

The first time you used is a little bit complicated, but when you get the hand of it becomes easier and friendly

### "Spendwise "

July 12, 2020

5.0

My overall experience with Spendwise was good, It helps me know what I could buy and disapproved for what I couldn't so I wouldn't overdraw my account. I love that once it does approve for your items that you can send it to your vendors and the action is complete and simple.

Pros

The best and what I like most about Spendwise is that it keeps tracks of orders you may want and if you can afford them it helps you with budgeting or will just reject what you can't afford. I used this software for my daughters birthday gifts and it was a big help in keeping and organizing my budgeting. If your purchase is approved it sends it right to that vendor to get the order in.

Cons

The least I like about Spendwise is that eventually you have to pay I think $9 a month or so which I don't have that money or I wouldn't need this software to help me with purchases in the first place. I do believe that there is a free version though.

### "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.

Thank you for your feedback Sherry! Glad to hear that our system is helping you stay better organized and that you are happy with our customer service. Appreciate your suggestion about setup documentation and will see what we can do about improving documentation to make it more clear.

### "It's easy to find what you need and to submit POs. "

December 13, 2017

4.0

it's an easy way to keep track of POs and I can go back and research or find POs and re-print or mark as received.

Pros

the ease of use and the ability to copy POs. I love that I can copy POs that I make to the same vendor and though I need to edit it, it is much easier than starting a new PO.

Cons

that if I am in my inbox, I have to go to 2 screens in order to access POs, I wish I was able to access POs on the sidebar, but I can only get to other boxes in my inbox (submitted, rejected, pending, etc)

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

December 14, 2017

Thank you for your feedback Daphne! I see what you are saying about 2 clicks to get from your inbox to list of POs and will discuss internally to see what we can do about making it one click.

Pros

Spendwise has made tracking our purchasing so much easier. We can now create reports that give us real time data.

Cons

We haven't fully implemented it to the field, not sure if we will but that is an internal issue.

### "Perfect Fit "

December 15, 2022

5.0

Overall, very happy with the service and forms. Professional and easy to use.

Pros

We primarily use this software for purchase orders and tracking. This was implemented with an older staff that had trouble integrating technology into some of their everyday tasks. This was easy to use and did not overcomplicate the process. Good customer service that actually responds to e-mails.

Cons

Some updates have changed the layout of the forms a bit, adding some options which probably works well for others but is not used by our staff.

### "Great Application for Monitoring POs"

February 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

OfficeWise is pretty easy to use, even if you aren't familiar with their UI. Everything is in the right place and has solid basic functionality.

Cons

Would like the ability to close multiple POs at once. No native support for Invoices to come through the system.

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

March 12, 2019

Thank you for your feedback. To close multiple POs at once please complete the following steps: 1) Log in to your account, 2) Click Purchase orders in left menu, 3) Check box to left of purchase orders you want to close, 4) Click on More button at top of page, and 5) Click Close in dropdown. Not exactly sure what you mean by no native support for invoices to come through the system but will follow-up with you to see if we can come up with a solution.

### "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.

April 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love how simple this software is to set up and to use. Customer service was great aw well which is always a great feature.

Cons

You cannot void a PO and it can get a little tricky when you need to.

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

April 19, 2018

Thank you for your feedback! You should be able to void a PO by completing the following steps: 1- Go to the PO that you want to void 2- Click on the "More" button 3- Click on "Void" in the dropdown If you are not able to void PO after completing the steps above please contact us at support@officewise.com and we will further assist you. Note that once you void a PO you cannot unvoid it, however, you can copy the voided PO into a new PO, make changes, and save it. Hope this helps.

December 12, 2018

4.0

Organized and easy to use software platform.Easy, quick and ideal for small companies.

Pros

Very simple design and ability to use a variety of categories to search through data.

Cons

Duplicate items not able to delete and manual system could take day.

Review Source

Response from Spendwise

December 19, 2018

Thank you for your feedback. The system disallows users from creating more than one item with the same Item ID to prevent duplication, however, if you add the same item using a different Item ID duplication is possible. If you need to delete an item you can as long as you have not used the item in a saved transaction. If you want to remove an item that has been used in a saved transaction we recommend marking the item "Inactive" in the item record. I will follow-up with you directly to further discuss.
