## Reviews

### "Plate IQ - Valuable tool" — 5.0/5

> **Steven** | *December 13, 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: THe importing of the invoice and the ability to see an actually copy of it as you do the approving.
> 
> **Cons**: We had some monor issues with exporting some records.  After a call to customer service, the problem was resolved.
> 
> I was initially against this product.  I didnt see the value in it.  We only use a fraction of what it could actualy do.  This has turned a=out to be a great decision.  THe time saved entering invoices as well as the ability to stop duplcates is fantastic.

### "It gets the job done" — 4.0/5

> **Miles** | *March 7, 2024* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to see invoices across the whole company.
> 
> **Cons**: How long it takes to have a check produced and not able to track them.
> 
> Overall this system does well.  There are a couple small things that are always bothersome.  It needs a little bit more work on linking GL splits for basic items that it should clearly read.  Limes on an invoice it should be able to read that and put it as produce.

### "Plate IQ 12.07.21" — 3.0/5

> **Amanda** | *December 7, 2021* | Restaurants | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it reads invoices and puts them in accounts.  I like the integrations with Intaact and Cogs-well.  It has made accounting easier in general.  It is when there are mistakes that it becomes an issue because of the reliance on history.
> 
> **Cons**: Manually changing every invoice because the software doesn't recognize the "picture logo" and assigns the wrong vendor or that an item is recognized wrongly and has to be manually changed on every invoice in spite of changing past invoices and item list.
> 
> It's ok.  It has made life a lot easier.  I wish I could start over knowing the things I know now.

### "Ottimate makes AP Easy" — 5.0/5

> **Melissa** | *March 13, 2024* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that Ottimate makes taking care of AP tasks easy. The reports are easy to use and the approval process is seamless.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it doesn't read the vendor and invoice correctly which can cause issues.

-----

### "Easy and efficient" — 5.0/5

> **janet** | *December 13, 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the accountability aspect of this software.  Managers are responsible for uploading invoices, if one fails to upload it is easy to find and train the responsible manager.
> 
> **Cons**: Vendor Invoice numbers that change or if the  vendor doesn't utilize invoice number can be problematic
> 
> The setup and training are so easy, very user friendly.  The time saved is also a great aspect to this software.
