Gutes Teammanagement und Rechtestruktur. Schöne Ansichten und gute App. Cons Etwas teuer geworden. Stammkunden werden recht wenig wertgeschätzt. Kundensupport leider nur noch hinter einem KI-Bot erreichbar. Das war früher besser. Review Source LM Linda M. Referentin der Geschäftsführung Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Einfaches Tool für die Kostenkontrolle, übersichtlich" July 12, 2024 5.0 Einfaches, vorteilhaftes Tool, wenn die Buchhaltung sich aus den Strukturen lösen könnte. Pros Ich sehe ein Vorteil in der Cashback-Option für die Unternehmensausgaben, während die Teammitglieder die nötigen Einkäufe tätigen. Cons Dafür habe ich nicht alle Einblicke in die jeweiligen Funktionen gehabt bzw. keine Vollversion. Was ich sah, hat mir gefallen. Review Source DA Dineke A. Finance Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pleo works very well" April 13, 2022 5.0 Its good. Pros I has saved us lots of time with creating expense reports Cons I pay as administrator for every company and don't use a card for Spain and Germany. The approval process is also not great because it does happen that people forget there phone. Review Source CH Christian H. Head of accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Saves you tons of time and let you focus on what really matters - amazing software!" September 25, 2017 4.0 Pros Pleo has helped us a lot as a growing startup by giving us an instant overview of our company expenses, and at the same saved us tons of hours of work by letting Pleo do the match of receipt and most of the bookkeeping. As a head of accounting I personally like the instant overview of the expenses Pleo gives you and the easy userface, which makes it possible for every employee to use Pleo from day one. Most of the employees in our company didn't need to talk to me before using Pleo - they just figured Pleo out on their own because it is so simple to use! At the same it gives you a much more flexible way of managing your expenses and company cards. Before we used Pleo it took us weeks to make changes since we had to sign a lot of documents and wait for our bank contact to get back to us. With Pleo you sign once - and then you can manage all your daily / monthly / yearly limits on each Pleo card you have as a company, and you can easy give or withdraw an employee company card. Cons I do wish that Pleo will make it possible in the future to transfer more data from Pleo to the accounting system. For instans - there is not an integration between the projects numbers registred in Pleo and the project number system in our accounting system. That means that when you do exporting of your data + pictures of receipts from Pleo to the accounting system, the account system (as it is right now) will not understand the project numbers exported from Pleo and the accounting system will therefore not automatically create these project numbers or register them as project numbers in the accounting system at all. If we were a bigger company with more projects that would be an issue. Review Source Response from Pleo September 26, 2017 Hey Christian, thanks for the review! We are right now working on better integration of projects into the accounting systems (e-conomic, Xero). Coming in the next few months - so should be much easier to deal with a bigger amount of projects. SA Sandra A. Head of accounting Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Expense tool for small business" December 28, 2023 3.0 Was the first expense tool we used an for low level of expenses it can be useful and cheap, but we were promised features that were never available, there were many bugs and it took a long time for technical support to fix it. Also when they made changes to the process they didn’t inform us and we had to find out for ourself. For all these reasons we have switched to another tool Pros Navigability, user-friendliness, display Cons Functionality, technical errors, customer service Review Source AV Anna V. Finance Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Started great - downhill from there" December 15, 2022 1.0 To top all the serious technical issues we have with PLEO, customer service is extremely lacking. The phone number on their signatures is bogus, no-one ever answers. They chat support can only confirm that there's indeed an issue. Tickets aren't followed up so any issue you have, get used to it. Personnel is constantly changing so I've already had 4 account managers. Pros I liked how easy it was to implement it. Very intuitive software with great design Cons They've started implementing some great features... That don't work properly and ends un being unreliable.Uploading from a phone, rotating expenses, analytics is useless if you use more than 1 tag, some exports have appeared with blank pages instead of the ticket, plastic cards that couldn't be activated, payment rejections without notice and alternative... Alternatives considered [SAP Concur](https://www.capterra.com/p/380/Concur-Expense/)[Emburse Captio](https://www.capterra.com/p/144601/Captio/)[Zoho Expense](https://www.capterra.com/p/142384/Zoho-Expense/) Reason for choosing Pleo It's simplicity (then) and design Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CFO & Co-Founder Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pleo is a time-saver!" January 18, 2018 5.0 Pleo company cards for key employees: With Pleo, our employees no longer have to make out of pocket purchases as they are trusted with their own Pleo card. Real-time data and spending limits make it easy to monitor expenses. Automated bookkeeping: Our biggest relief with switching to Pleo, is that all expenses are now automatically transferred to our accounting system without wasting time on matching individual payments or tracking down missing receipts. Now, the employees add a short descriptive note to each purchase and quickly uploads the receipt, which makes our bookkeeper's job way easier. With real-time expense statistics, it is possible to see exactly how much we have spent on different categories before the month has ended, which gives additional insights and makes my liquidity budgets more precise. Pros Pleo is a time-saver! Now all purchases automatically transfer to our accountant system and we never have to struggle with missing receipts. Pleo also gives you increased control of the company credit cards and real-time expense insights, which makes you able to do better decisions Cons There are some minor issues regarding the mastercards. Sometimes our employees get their cards disabled for wrong issues, but it is quick and easy to enable them again. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best company card ever!" August 21, 2019 5.0 Just works. I think my 2-year old son could figure it out. Pros Beautiful interface and 1-click (almost) bookkeeping is very impressive. I save maybe 2 hour a month on reporting for myself and my teams and I don't have to keep track of my receipts in my pockets. Cons Would be great if there was some sort of kickback but that's probably not in the EU directive that makes it legal. Review Source Nikolaj T. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect tool" February 5, 2019 5.0 I like spending time on things that develop​ and grow our business rather than filling out expense forms. Pleo allows​ us to do that while we are absolutely sure that Pleo will do its part perfectly. Pros The Pleo app works perfectly. It saves you a lot of time and it makes it super easy to control and follow company expenses. The integration to accounting platforms like e-conomic works very well and it saves time and money on your book keeping. Cons The export functions could be more elaborate but that would just be icing on the cake. Review Source Jacob A. CEO & Co-founder / partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Amazing fintech solution for all companies" January 7, 2019 5.0 Pros It gives freedom to the entire sales team and all other employees who occasionally spends money on behalf of the company, by giving everyone a corporate creditcard. For the management it saves so much time on administrative paperwork and control, since you have full overview and control on spending in the PLEO solution. Cons It would be nice with more open API´s to integrate with the rest of our business software. Review Source Niddal E. Administrerende direktør Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pleo has optimised our financial logistics with 90 % in cost. Workload has dropped immensely." January 19, 2018 5.0 Pros The real time auditing between the many in-house projects, is for us the biggest advantage. But also the fact, that our auditor only has to use 20 min!! to place a full year of bookkeeping with more then a 1000 receipts divided into approx 10 in-house projects, with each their account. Also the employees and the project managers find stability in their everyday work and it has improved their experience of ownership and responsibility in the organisation. Cons Pleo is still under development, and it shows in terms of solutions can could improve the experience even more. We have contacted Pleo on 3 occasions, identifying needs for improvement. The first two are already under way, and the third, they are looking into at this point. Review Source Søren F. Executive Producer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best invention after the credit card" January 22, 2018 5.0 Pros As a frequent traveller a Pleo card is simply a must! I have cut down time spend on travel reimbursements with 90-100% as Pleo automatically transfers my expenses to my bookkeeping system with the right account information. Cons I'm still waiting for the possibility to export cost per project as PDF (incl. receipts) for reimbursement purposes when I have external clients. Review Source Colin B. AWS Lead Engineer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Absolutely amazing, stress free and fantastic support" February 24, 2018 5.0 Clarity from visibility of all transactions. Ability to know who spent what, and giving the staff physical cards has given the whole team a boost (as they feel like they have a part of Tokonatsu with them!) Very minor confusion at the start about PayPal card linking and usage fees, however this was sorted out so quickly and efficiently that we didn't notice any problems Pros It was very simple to setup the system to get the whole committee setup with Pleo cards. We have full visibility on what is being bought and we are not chasing for receipts anymore. The way our event works, we have always found it hard to keep track of where they are, causing the treasurer stress every year. Now they have access to Pleo, they have been able to get all the details they need at a click of a button. Review Source Michael M. Finance Director Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent customer service - very helpful and responsive to our queries suggestions" February 14, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use, flexible, intuitive and saves us a considerable amount of time. Provides greater sense of control and visibility over transactions that we didn't have previously. Cons It's slightly less suited to larger organisations, but the company listens to all of our suggestions and there are frequent product enhancements, so we expect this to change soon Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "useful tool for finance managment" December 29, 2022 5.0 my own experience pleo is one of the best Pros pleo helps me to keep track of my expenses, saves time with regard to payments. The platform is easy to use. Cons no complication with pleo it works very well Review Source IG Isabella G. Talent and Engagement Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product - lovely customer service" April 11, 2019 5.0 Pleo is just a product that makes your life easier. Our company uses Pleo every day to pay for stuff without​ having the hassle​ to reimburse individuals. It gives you a lot of freedom but also responsibility​ and trust as an employee. Pros \- Easy to use - Product solves a real problem for every company (from a size of more than 6 people I would say) - Lovely design - Great team and company culture Cons I can't be thinking​ of anything. Every tech product has points to improve on their journey​ but Pleo's customer success team makes it easy to raise any problems, are very helpful, quick and friendly​. Review Source PB Per B. CTO Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Avoid at any cost " December 21, 2021 1.0 Would not recommend. Pros Nothing is likeable. Maybe that cards arrived fast but they do not work properly so I would not count that as a likeable either. Cons They lose document. Not keeping promises. Unsecured work flows. When they say 1-2 days it actually means weeks. Review Source EK Ellen K. Lead Accountant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pleo - an easy to use company card" December 3, 2018 5.0 Reciepts are fast in the system. With the "first reminder" of missing reciepts accounting saves time and the card holder is reminded fast enough to go through pockets before laudry day ;-) Pros Fast delivery of new cards makes it easy to onboard new colleagues. The setup of the new account is even easier. You can always adjust any limits made to a specific card and have overview over all recipts and invite your external revision to join. Cons The only thing I can think of is that you have to be patient with taking a status of account. Since some payments may be pending for a day or two, you should remember that some payments may join already accounted days. But knowing this it is only a minor disturbance. Review Source Andrew S. Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent - highly recommended" February 6, 2018 5.0 Pros It's made things so much easier for our team. I like the fact I can easily request new cards - both physical and virtual and set limits for each. The app popping up after a purchase has been made to ask for a receipt massively reduces the number of payments without corresponding invoices. Cons charge to withdraw cash is steep to say the least but I appreciate they're trying to reduce reliance on cash. Speeding up the onset of a cashless society perhaps isn't something Pleo need to concentrate on - for now our team sometimes buys things from cash only places. Review Source Nik K. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pleo is the future " August 30, 2019 5.0 Clever solution for every day use in any business I believe. Pros Fast and easy handling all through the chain purchase to bookkeeping. Cons Haven’t experienced any cons so far. So no issues to post Review Source Jess F. CEO and Co-Founder Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very rare do you find a product that has this smooth user experience online and in real life" March 23, 2018 5.0 Much Quicker Expense management for user and accountant Pros Very easy to use. Very smooth online platform. Great customer support. When you have an idea for improvements to the platform it is taken seriously and being implemented Cons Once in a while (very rare) does the card not seem to work with some retailers, but I think that has to do with it being a Mastercard Debit. Review Source MP Michael P. Management Accountant Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Slick product" November 26, 2018 5.0 Installing Pleo was all about TIME, time for us, time for the users, time for everyone. Simple and time efficient where a child could use the APP is great. Pros Pleo simplifies our corporate card system, allowing an APP based system that is user friendly and simple to use. It saves the finance department at Oakbrook Finance time and effort in taking the admin out of the process. Cons As of yet the VAT element being missing, however Pleo are quick to take on board feedback and I'm told this is being worked on to be added soon. Not many companies respond to change this quickly. Review Source MW Marcin W. Finance Manager Security and Investigations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Xero long time user" February 11, 2023 4.0 Very Positive , will continue to use it unless would bump into better option Pros Free budget version Ease of useIntegration with accounting softwares Cons The price per user above basic plan is too highExpense pictures uploads not too handy , you can not cut , modify receipts photos taken on occasions inconsistency between the App and desktop Review Source Julian S. Managing Director Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A big leap forward in company expense management & control" February 12, 2018 5.0 Reduced expense management time, reduced missing invoices & receipts and allow finite control of spending limits for each user and/or department. Pros Ease of use, individual card limit management, virtual cards for online subscriptions help to reduce fraud risk, easy upload of invoices. Cons Simple UK VAT logging option would earn a 5 star rating for 'Features & Functionality', and an option to have a virtual card only at a reduced fee would be useful for us. Wallet uploads need to be within 2 hours, 24/7, 365 Review Source HK Holly K. Events Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "User Review of Podio" August 6, 2019 5.0 from the packaging it arrives in, to having your pin on your phone, it being contactless, filing missing receipts, searching for purchases when in browser mode, it is great! Would definitely recommend for businesses. It is way better than having on company card to share and no need to worry as limits can be set and it is easy to track by individual. Pros The best thing is that you can take photos of your receipts on your phone and file them straight away which means they can't get lost! Cons the virtual card, I feel like it isn't needed as you have the physical card details on your phone too. Review Source Similar Products Featured
