Best Purchase Order Software
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.

Purchase order and bills success
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

Opinion on sales order
Works fine. Needs a keep me signed in box
Overall quality is good. Can easily work all the drop down menus. Stores customers information which is nice to have to create every time
Pros
Creating sales order and drop down menu. Hold customer name which is nice not to have to create each time
Cons
Doesn't stay logged in
Make it easier to save and do new sales order after you finished one
Needs to hold more customer names
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your feedback. The system should allow you to stay logged in if you want as well as save a sales order and create a new one at once by clicking the "Save & New" button. The system should also allow you to save an unlimited number of customer names. I will follow-up with you directly to further discuss and resolve.

Recommend!
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.

This software is the best for making quick and easy purchase orders
Its nice to be able to reference each PO just by looking it up in the search box by the PO number
Pros
Office wise is able to save product titles and price to quickly fill out the po and send it out.
I like that it is fast and easy to use. You are even able to email right from the PO.
Cons
I don't like that there is a new area that has to be set of what folder you would like to have it in after it mailed out. That slows down the process.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your review Caleb! Not sure what you mean by setting folder you would like to have PO in after it is mailed out. If you are referring to approval folders (i.e. Inbox, Not-submitted, Rejected, Pending) the system should assign automatically depending on the approval status of the PO. I will follow-up with you to make sure I understand and help resolve.

Purchase approvals
I just basically approve items that were purchased. So like I said before Easy, Quick and no paper to deal with.
Pros
It's easy to navigate. Can look at bills for review before submitting approval. Keeps a running inventory of items spent per department.
Cons
Not sure there is anything on my end that I don't like about the system. Easy, Quick and less paper to deal with.

Good software that we don't utilize enough!
My company mainly uses your software as a PO creation tool. I know that you have a lot of reporting and accounting tools and other tools that we don't use that we definitely could/should. The software works well for us to simply create POs with easy fill-in-the blanks for saved company names and information so multiple people can use it as an address book, essentially. We then have a record that shows all POs we've placed over time as well, across multiple users. What we don't use very well is the accounting tools - we don't really categorize or use the reports at all for accounting purposes. We have a whole accounting team who keeps track of that type of thing in Quickbooks. Our Operations team is who uses your software for the most part for ease of creating POs and also record keeping for basic PO information. Giving you 4 stars across the board for the product - it seems pretty user friendly in general. Maybe not enough tutorial type information, that could be helpful, but I haven't really gone looking for it. Giving you 5 starts for customer service because you were very responsive when I did have a question.
Pros
Pretty straightforward and clean
Cons
Could use more tutorials
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your feedback Anna! We would love for you guys to use Officewise for all of your accounting needs and think that you would like it much better than QuickBooks but we might be a little bias:). That said we have many customers who use our system along with QuickBooks like you do which is just fine too. I agree with your point about having more tutorials and other support tools, we are currently working on these things and will make them available within the next few months.

The software was recently changed. I believe the initial software used was much more...
We now have a paperless process in executing POs. The process is now more efficient, we maintain a history on our purchases and the time saved is better served on other projects.
Pros
The software allows a paperless and more efficient process in ordering items. The approval hierarchy is great.
Cons
Some changes to the website adds some difficulty in maneuvering through to find other pages. Example, I had to edit the authorization of a new hire and it took me a while to find where that section was moved to.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your feedback. As mentioned we did make some changes to the user interface of our system a few months ago which we believe will make it better going forward. We understand and appreciate that it can take some time for existing users to get use to the changes and apologize for any inconvenience. We are not planning to make any other significant changes to the user interface and hope that the new help center we launched along with the changes makes it easier to adapt to the new user interface.

Great Application for Monitoring POs
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.
Response from Spendwise
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.

Perfect Fit
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.

Overall review
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.
Response from Spendwise
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 easy to find what you need and to submit POs.
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)
Response from Spendwise
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.

Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your review Carlos! We are always looking for ways to improve Officewise and appreciate your feedback. I will follow-up with you directly to see what we can do to improve user access customizations and the approval process.

Great Service
We've been very happy with Officewise! We use it every day to create Purchase Orders and cross reference items we've ordered for deliveries ect. Definitely very easy to use and extremely helpful!
Pros
The fact that we can search key words for previous POs that have been created.
Cons
Not much that I don't like! Once in a while it won't let me delete the top row on purchase orders when I add one too many lines, but that isn't really any issue.

Love Officewise
Pros
Website is very easy to use and self explanatory. You can easily save POs, convert to PDF, search for past POs. The latest update has also added quite a few new and great features.
Cons
The only Con or feature I wish could be added is a list of projects so that you can allocate which PO belongs to which project.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your review. For project tracking we recommend using the "Tag" field on the purchase order. You can then run purchase order tag reports to see which PO belongs to which project. I will follow-up with you directly to show how this can be done.

Great, easy to use & affordable
Love the software. Version 2.0 is awesome. Just wish it have the ability to do quote versions & track cost inside of a quote without having to create an inventory item.
Pros
Easy to use, many many features
Cons
Can't revision quotes without losing old quote. Wish I could put costs in quote for my own tracking.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your feedback Glen! I have some ideas about how to revise and track versions of quotes as well as track cost without having to create an inventory item. Also would like to better understand the issue to see how we can improve going forward. Will reach out to you to further discuss.

It helps me do my job
Pros
It is very detailed for the price you can do just about anything you need to do to keep your business running smooth

I would like to be about to have more ability to customize some things but other that that is great.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your review Tim! We are currently working on some upgrades that will give you more freedom to customize forms and other aspects of the system. I expect that these upgrades will be released within the next month or so and will notify you when they are available.

Thanks for your help
What a great website. It makes business easy and painfully easy to keep track of . Thank you. Enjoy the ability to send quotes and invoices through email and then being told when the email is opened and viewed.
Pros
ease of use, the ability to edit, keeps track of all history
Cons
the mobile website version is not easy to use, the screens are hard to view and the lettering and typing of new work are difficult to see and use.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your feedback Jose. We are currently working on some major upgrades that will be released next month. Upgrades include dramatic improvements to the user interface which will make our system much easier to use on your phone. We also have plans for a mobile app to make it even easier in the future. Stay tuned.

Easy to use.
Overall my experience with Officewise has been good. If I can figure out how to use something, anyone can. The only difficulty I've had is when I access my account via my "smartphone".
Pros
Ease of use. I have no secretarial, business, or accounting background and I was able to figure out how to use this program.
Cons
Not mobile friendly. At least with my phone. May be on my end and not program's.
Response from Spendwise
Thank you for your feedback Cecil. We have plans for a mobile app and in the mean time try to make our site as mobile friendly as possible. Not sure exactly why it isn't working so well on your phone but will follow up with you directly to see what we can do about fixing.
