"Alaan Pay - Business Expense Made Easy!"

5/5

What do you like best about Alaan?

From using Alaan Pay for almost a year now, we are using Alaan Pay everyday and it has always been very smooth for us - from card usage, topping up, doing our reports. It has significantly decreased the time spent on reporting the expenses especially with the integration we have done with Xero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

Nothing! So far, everything works very smoothly for us, and if ever we face small issues, our dedicated account manager is always responsive along with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

First is the cash expenses where we do not have to worry on having petty cash or funding several cards to be able to do the business expenses from differrent employees. It's one top up and everyone can use their cards.

Secondly, on our accounts, reporting has been very much easier and less time consuming than before especially with its integration with Xero.

Thirdly, we can see expenses realtime which helps us update our books more regularly as intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Recommended Software and Excellent Service"

5/5

What do you like best about Alaan?

Alaan is very user friendly. Initially we used some other card service provider but we faced many issues and they took very long time to topup our funds in our Alaan Pool account. Alaan has one good option to upload our payment transfer receipt in their portal so that the fund will reflect in our account earlier compared to other service provider. Alaan not charging us any service charges but we paid Service charges to the previous service provider who gave us a very poor experience. It is simplified our work and saves our time. We didnt face any issues as of now in their service and their customer support is very excellence. There is no many formalities to implement their service we implemented Alaan with in a week for out 6 group companies. We are using Alaan cards to make payment 40 to 50 times per day. It was quick to set up, and we didn’t encounter any major obstacles during the integration process, everything just worked smoothly from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

Other than admin you can give option to one more person to move funds from other wallets to primary wallet. Now our one of user is using admin access to move funds from other wallets to primary wallet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially we transfer the fuds to our PRO's card from our bank account some times we experienced delays to reflect the funds in their card due to this many of our work also got delayed. Now we are transferring the fund through Alaan card so we are saving our time and our PRO's are doing their jobs ontime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helped us smoothen our petty cash management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Alaan?

It works like a regular debit card from any other bank, making the entire process for employees seamless. There is no training involved or any particular implementation process for "how to use Alaan", there is no overexpenditure, since limits and balances can be controlled, and each transaction is recorded with complete details for reconcilation and audits later on. We used to face several challenges with dealing in petty cash before Alaan, however, now, this is an area that doesn't require any effort whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

No cons as such observed until now. We are happy with the value we receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Multiple value propositions:

- It has eliminated the cash element from our employees petty cash management entirely, making it much easier to manage balances and expenditure

- Every expense comes with a record and with different kinds of statements, making it easier for us to control unauthorised spending and audit reports later on - something which can not always be controlled with cash

- All cards have been enabled with different spending limits, making excessive purchases almost impossible

- Eliminates a major form of corruption in field employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So far, everything is working fine"

5/5

What do you like best about Alaan?

The application, the automated processes, and the ease of using the system itself. Pay the bill, scan the receipt on the spot, the system will autogenerate information. Makes our life very easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

THe website, all the time when I log in, it takes me to a page and then I have to click on all transactions to see my recent transactions in order to upload a receipt and do the needful. (only for the website) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. No need to share the company's primary bank credit or debit card to the employees which is very risky

2. We can set a limit to the card so that the employees know how much they can spend and all.

3. Easy for employees as well since they dont have to pay from their pocket, and then claim a reimbursement from the company, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
