Also, sync errors are difficult to find and no alerts for such as given. > > Friendly end-user setting, easy integration, easily adapts to management needs ----- ### "Hospitality / Country Club Review" — 5.0/5 > **Rachel** | *6 October 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quadient is the most efficient software we have at the country club. The ease of use for day-to-day AP for both the accounting team and department managers has always been a feature loved by all. For audit purposes you cannot beat the software for how much time is saved in pulling back-up, etc. > > **Cons**: The import Vendor feature as a result of our ERP file has created multiple duplicate vendors which never leave the system from a visual perspective. No one ever gets on the phone to troubleshoot issues which creates emails upon emails vs. a succinct conversation to air issues/collaborate. The export file into ERP needs to be monitored very carefully as the file does not always come over correctly. > > Overall I love the software more than my personal interactions with the team at Quadient from the inception of the software. ----- ### "Deception and Incompetence - NOT an functioning AP system for Sage50 (let alone AP automation)" — 1.0/5 > **Sohrab** | *30 July 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Purchase Order module is functional, approvals can be efficient > > **Cons**: As a finance professional, I feel compelled to warn others about our disastrous experience with Quadient's AP automation system. What began as a promising solution turned into a nightmare of wasted time, broken promises, and potential financial risk. From the outset, Quadient's sales team employed deceptive tactics to secure our contract. They assured us of seamless integration with Sage 50, boasting about their OCR capabilities and automatic tax calculations. However, the reality couldn't be further from their claims. The most egregious issue? Their "automated" system requires users to manually select tax codes and MANUALLY calculate tax amounts for each line of every invoice. Let that sink in. In 2024, they're selling a system that adds manual work and introduces significant room for error in tax calculations. This is not just a step backward; it's a leap into the dark ages of accounting. When confronted, Quadient claimed this was a "known Sage 50 limitation." This is patently false. Other vendors provide this functionality without issue, and Sage's own marketplace offers solutions that handle this seamlessly. More importantly, if this truly was a known limitation, why wasn't it mentioned during the numerous demos where they explicitly confirmed tax code capture and automatic calculations? The OCR functionality, a key selling point, is the weakest I've seen in the market. Test invoices took over 12 hours to process, likely because they rely on manual data entry behind the scenes. This explains their per-invoice pricing model, which is among the most expensive in the market. Any finance professional should immediately recognise the risks this system introduces to a business. A supplier willing to lie to sell a product, exposing clients to such financial and compliance risks, demonstrates a complete lack of integrity. We've had a lucky escape, discovering these issues before full implementation. Even when confronted, senior individuals at Quadient failed to acknowledge their mistakes or provide any assurance. To anyone considering Quadient, especially those using Sage 50: 1. DON'T. Just don't. 2. If you must, insist on a demo using your own invoices. 3. Demand at least a 3-month break clause in any contract. 4. Request end-to-end demo with a Sage 50 , most vendors should have a license There are reputable vendors on the Sage Marketplace (like Agilico Verify, PaperLess, and Compleat) who demonstrate integrity, transparency about their systems' limitations, and a willingness to build solutions around those limitations. In contrast, Quadient seems intent on hiding their shortcomings for as long as possible until you've signed a contract and wasted hours and days on presales. > > In conclusion, our experience with Quadient has been nothing short of a professional embarrassment. Four weeks of our time wasted, potential financial risks introduced, and a complete erosion of trust. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for your AP automation needs. ----- ### "Automating invoice entry the best" — 5.0/5 > **Jose** | *29 December 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very practical, easy to understand the layout, easy invoice entry, reporting, etc. I love it very much. > > **Cons**: 1. Be able to create report buy currency 2. On report or in invoice entry to see SAGE 300 VENDOR ID that will make it easier if just want report by VENDORID or range. > > in one word Excellent. automates the entire AP workflow, including purchase orders, invoice capture and approval, expense management, and payments. ----- ### "Quadient provides quality in all areas of AP from Invoicing, approvals and payments" — 5.0/5 > **Angela** | *2 December 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The security for our clients and ease of entering invoicing makes this service valuable for our team and our clients. We utilize the service provided for nearly 20 clients all over the world and the ease of entry and approval channel creation works for both our employees and our clients. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it can be slow to code invoices, when we have dropped them into the inbox the auto fill feature takes longer with some invoices than others and sometimes that's depended on the time of day, could be a bandwidth or connection issue. > > Overall the invoice management we utilize for all our clients through Quadient keeps our day to day business running smoothly and our clients happy. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/26491/beanworksap?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/26491/beanworksap) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
