About Airbase

Our software gives organizations full control over their spending. Most companies struggle with being able to give employees an easy way to make purchases while also having a strong process that ensures control, compliance, and accurate booking. That’s true whether they have manual processes, cobbled-together point solutions, or legacy enterprise tools. But we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between usability and control or ease-of-use and handling complexity. Airbase is the only procure-to-pay solution to combine enterprise-grade power with a delightful user experience. We radically simplify purchasing — across procurement, AP, expenses, and corporate cards. We automate the full process — procure, pay, close. We also give you the flexibility to implement individual modules to suit your company’s circumstances and needs. Airbase recognizes that as a core activity, company purchasing must integrate with other systems in your tech stack, so we provide native integrations for many of them and an API if you need to add others. Since all purchasing data needs to sync to the GL, we integrate with NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online, and Xero. These are exceptional integrations where information can flow in both directions. We also integrate with your collaboration tools like Slack, Jira, Asana, and Ironclad. Airbase integrates with your bank and with card networks to give you a choice of Airbase, AMEX, or SVB cards. Integrations with HRIS and SSO systems to keep access to company spending secure and reflect employee status. Airbase offers an integration with TravelPerk, the top travel booking site, so that employee travel will flow through Airbase’s approval and automated accounting system for final syncing to the GL. The types of complexity that we handle include purchase order matching, international multi-subsidiary booking, foreign currency payments to vendors and employees for reimbursements, non-standard amortization schedules, individual or batched GL syncing, multi-stakeholder approvals for various requirements like SOC reports for InfoSec, contract for Legal, vendor vetting for Procurement, and more. Airbase is easy to configure and modify with no-code workflows. Employees are guided on how to make purchases, including what documents are needed, and Airbase automatically routes everything to each stakeholder. We alert you to possible fraud if it looks like a bill has already been paid or if a vendor is changing their bank account details. Finally, Airbase knows that you need the very best customer support to get the most out of the systems you use. Whether that’s fully supported onboarding for a fast time-to-value or a dev team that is responsive to your specific requirements, Airbase obsesses over our customers. We update you monthly on improvements and new capabilities and even share our aggressive road map and invite your feedback on features. Accounting teams and employees who spend money all love to use Airbase. Airbase is a procure-to-pay platform that unites enterprise-grade capabilities with an enjoyable user experience. Airbase streamlines complex approval and accounting workflows with an intuitive interface to facilitate widespread adoption. It ensures compliant and smarter spending, puts an end to uncontrolled purchasing, saves time, and speeds up the monthly close. Combine any or all of our best-of-breed products — Guided Procurement, AP Automation, Expense Management, and Corporate Cards — to meet your needs today and scale for the future. Seamlessly integrate with your ERP and other business systems directly or via Open API. Experience minimal change management with no-code workflows, offering flexibility and rapid value. Airbase provides multi-subsidiary support and facilitates international vendor payments in 145 currencies. Automated accounting functions, including 3-way matching, accruals, and amortization, improve efficiency and accuracy.

Best AP solution for SMB to MidSize businesses

From start to end we had an amazing experience with the sales process, implementation and daily operations. Highly recommend!

Pros

The best thing about Airbase are not the constant flow of features, the insanely fast support team or even the ease of deployment. The best thing is the architecture for approval flows and how the product team pays very close attention to customer needs.

The approval flows are setup in such ways as to allow each team to be fully automated in their approval flows and forbids circumvention of controls, thus allowing us a very high level of confidence that each person is accountable for their purchases.

Cons

I highly recommend Airbase, however, this is a new product and I also recommend spending a lot of time analyzing each nuance of your AP process needs before moving forward as not all features are immediately available. At the time of writing this review, international payments are not yet ready but Airbase has communicated their roadmap and we know exactly when this will be rolled out. The minor drawbacks have not impacted our improvements in performance, quality, and stability of accounting controls or slowed us down at all.

Reasons for Choosing Airbase

Bill.com is knows for its sync issues and weak approval flows. Airbase not only fixes both but also gives you tools to validate everything through reporting and flows that are flexible but reliable.

Great Way to Track, Pay Vendors, and Stay Compliant

Pros

All the features we use are great. I upload vendor bills on the daily and setup the approval flows. Having an approval flow for each invoice that comes through the company is a life saver. It not only holds managers and their team members accountable, but relieves the burden of back and forth emails to/from the finance team. There also is the option to amortize any prepaid expenses. Airbase will generate journal entries to sync to our ERP which reduces errors and manual steps during our close process.Virtual cards are a great tool. There is an approval process, spending limits can be set, and cards can be locked if needed - or automatically if the card owner has not uploaded their receipt. It is a great way to keep the company compliant and spending within budget parameters.Finally, I would like to call out Customer Service. they are exceptionally great at responding quickly and solving and issues that have come up. This is important to us and our vendors. We haven't had a bad experience working with the Airbase team.

Cons

There are a few items that could improve which we have brought to the Airbase team and they hope to get them on the road map. One of which is if vendor information, such as an address, is updated in the platform it does not sync over the change to our ERP. This makes preparing 1099's at the end of the year a little tedious, but definitely not a deal breaker.

Airbase immediately refunds sales reports

I've mentioned out loud almost everything I've already mentioned, I hated to repeat myself, however, it's wonderful that a system works so well and, more importantly, so quickly, on such a dreaded thing as expense reimbursement. It transforms it into a pending job and not a thing that is put off for an extended period of time because it works so well.

Pros

I love the way it works well for my own reimbursements, plus it is efficient for the team I write, which supports me. I have used websites in the past where personal returns were simple, however, it was complicated when trying to control or approve for other members of my staff. Airbase is hygienic and simple, regardless of the activity on it. Refunds per order are quick, as you only need to show proof of payment and the system detects it.

Cons

It's rare that I find something that can't be improved in the slightest, however, Airbase seems to be this for me. It's simple and straightforward, and the control screen is really clean (I can't think of anything to perfect).

The most automated AP system Ive worked with

Overall I have really enjoyed Airbase, the automation saves so much time on the Accounting side and all other departments loved how easy it is to use.

Pros

I like how easy it is to process and schedule payment for invoices. It autofills most of the invoice info slashing data entry time.

Cons

It complicated Bank recs and there are some basic features that you have to reach out to support for, like un-applying a credit to an invoice.

Airbase + Growth Company

Pros

Airbase has transformed our ability to efficiently process, report, and analyze all non-payroll spend. It syncs directly with our GL (NetSuite) and provides the appropriate level of financial controls for our size/stage.

Cons

Our employees & approvers often note that it would be helpful to review expense submissions by trip. Currently, expenses are submitted individually and not grouped.
