Basware AP Automation Likes & Dislikes

Like

The product is very flexible and offers different customizations depending on our needs. Our project/development team is very knowledgeable and professional which makes deployments, developments and improvements quite painless. Another big benefit is the monthly product updates with new features and bug fixes.

Like

The system is easy to use and can handle large amounts of invoices.

Like

Good service (CSM, support), being innovative and following the developments on the market, very user-friendly design on the product.

Dislike

Enhancement requests (ERs) don't have any deadline or can be rejected - that being said, a lot of the enhancements we requested via the Basware Service Portal have seen the light of day eventually, though they can take quite some time to be implemented. It is good to mention that ERs are a free service, not to be confused with Change Requests (CRs) which are paid consultant work with much more timely implementation. Sometimes Service Now tickets can take a while to resolve or may need to be escalated. The good news is that an escalation to the CSM will usually produce the needed progress on the cases. Coordinating the work with the Basware Consultants outside of implementation projects can be time-consuming without a Planned Optimisation Service - it is almost a must, but on the other hand it is a worthwhile investment if you are focusing on process solution optimisation and/or enhancements, and can be used to complete CRs in most cases.

Dislike

Spend plans could be more flexible, often need to update large amounts of spend plans simultaneously

Dislike

Scanning of the invoices has improved with SmartPDF AI compared to Scan and Capture but we still have very big issues. Support being aware of our setup, I would say this is improving but could be better. More features in Self Validation would be appreciated, such as drop down list to show the recent chosen supplier, or be able to view invoices in a list and not have to skip around 100 invoices.

    Long-Term Customer Reports Improved Support But Persistent Invoice Scanning Issues Remain

    4.0
    Oct 17, 2025
    We have been a customer for a very long time, and now I believe we have reached the best service so far. We are very happy with our CSM. The support is at its best I believe as well but we would like to see some more engagement in our setup/solution and that that should be considered when implementing new functions so we do not just break something by adding something new (function, company etc). We require stronger focus on our most reported issue, scanning process, therefor its 4 starts and not 5.
