“Vendor payments save time
Pros
Being able to send payments straight to vendors without having to issue a cheque is a big plus. It cuts down the time usually spent writing cheques and mailing them out which makes the whole payment process much more efficient.
Cons
The interface feels very outdated. There's no option to upload invoice documents so the date, invoice details and payment amount all have to be entered manually. It would also be much better if it connected with accounting software like QuickBooks Online since more automation is really needed.
