A perfect fitting Spend Management Tool for SMEs (Not only a Credit Card with extra features)

PROS

* very simple, intuitive use that perfectly covers the needs of our employees * finally the search for receipts for ordered products ends; everything can be found in the Hivebuy platform * With the Amazon integration, our employees can order using an interface they are familiar with. In general, the integration of different order catalogs and platforms is a great advantage * all steps from ordering to invoicing can finally be handled in one tool Real-time budget planning and overview -> no more spending outside the budget * Company-wide solution that makes things easier for all departments * very detailed, well thought-out program with constant development * The individual departments can act independently and benefit from more autonomy * The integration into Slack simplifies the approval workflow enormously and saves us time in our everyday work * Purchasing within our company is decentralized with Hivebuy; at the same time, those responsible keep track of things * all processes can be traced and we replace the annoying manual work

CONS

* no mobile version * Existing integrations can be connected within a few minutes, but we lack an interface to Sevdesk / Google chat / ... * monthly Costs -> but these are worth it, because our employees save time and benefit from an intuitive process

Best-in-class procurement platform

PROS

Hivebuy has exceeded our expectations and established itself as an indispensable tool in our company. The platform is very easy and intuitive to use and is perfectly tailored to the needs of our employees. We can finally put an end to the tedious search for receipts for ordered products, because everything we need can now be found in the Hivebuy platform. The integration of Amazon and various order catalogs and platforms is a crucial step in our digitalization process. Our employees can now order in an interface that is familiar to them, which not only increases efficiency but also promotes acceptance within the team. Hivebuy enables us to handle all steps from ordering to invoicing in a single tool. This results in significant time savings and an improved overview of our spending. The real-time budget planning and overview prevents off-budget spending and enables effective resource management. Hivebuy’s company-wide solution makes day-to-day work much easier for all departments. The very well thought-out program is constantly evolving and gives the individual departments more autonomy. The integration with Slack has simplified our approval workflow enormously and saved time in our day-to-day work. The decentralized procurement process is particularly impressive.

CONS

Hivebuy has undeniably proven itself as an efficient and user-friendly procurement platform, though there are a few areas that could benefit from improvement. One notable drawback is the absence of a mobile version. In an increasingly mobile business environment, a mobile application would be highly advantageous, providing employees with access to the platform on the go. While the integration capabilities of Hivebuy are impressive and can be seamlessly connected in a matter of minutes, we find a gap in the integration with specific applications such as Sevdesk and Google Chat. Expanding integration options would be desirable to ensure a smooth connection with additional relevant tools. Another aspect to consider is the monthly costs. Despite incurring expenses, these are justified by the time saved and the intuitive procurement process. Employees benefit from the efficient use of the platform, resulting in long-term savings. Despite these considerations, Hivebuy remains an impressive solution that has revolutionized our procurement processes. We look forward to future updates addressing these aspects and further optimizing the platform. Overall, the positive aspects outweigh the concerns, and Hivebuy continues to be a vital component in our ongoing pursuit of efficiency and digitization.

Very good startup solution to meet basic procurement and accounting needs.

PROS

It is very easy to start working with the tool and have the processes running. I appreciate the easy integrations and API with multiple platforms. Also you do not need very extensive knowledge to use it.

CONS

If you have an experience in working with old, comprehensive but difficult and complex in implementation tools you might be missing some features. At least for now, because Hive buy is actively developing their features.

Effiziente Beschaffung und Prozessoptimierung mit Hivebuy

Hivebuy stellt eine umfassende Lösung dar, die Prozesseffizienz und Benutzerfreundlichkeit in den Vordergrund rückt. Die Plattform zeichnet sich durch ihre intuitive Bedienung und die Integration wichtiger Bestellplattformen aus, was eine zentrale Verwaltung und Nachverfolgung von Bestellungen und Rechnungen ermöglicht. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Echtzeit-Budgetüberwachung und die Möglichkeit zur dezentralisierten Beschaffung, wodurch ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Autonomie der Abteilungen und Kontrolle durch Verantwortliche geschaffen wird. Die Integration in Tools wie Slack erleichtert Arbeitsabläufe zusätzlich. Während die monatlichen Kosten als Nachteil gesehen werden könnten, rechtfertigen die Zeitersparnis und Prozessoptimierung diese Investition. Insgesamt bietet Hivebuy jedoch eine solide Lösung zur Optimierung von Beschaffungsprozessen in Unternehmen.

PROS

Einfache, benutzerfreundliche Oberfläche, die den Anforderungen unserer Mitarbeiter entspricht. Zentrale Auffindbarkeit von Belegen für Bestellungen auf der Hivebuy-Plattform. Unterstützt unseren Digitalisierungsprozess. Amazon-Integration ermöglicht Bestellungen in vertrauter Umgebung. Integration verschiedener Bestellplattformen ist sehr vorteilhaft. Verwaltung aller Schritte, von Bestellung bis Rechnung, in einem System. Echtzeit-Budgetplanung und -kontrolle verhindert Ausgaben außerhalb des Budgets. Firmenweite Lösung, die allen Abteilungen zugutekommt. Sorgfältig entwickeltes Programm mit kontinuierlicher Verbesserung. Erhöhte Selbstständigkeit und Vorteile für einzelne Fachbereiche. Integration in Slack optimiert den Genehmigungsprozess und spart Zeit. Dezentralisierter Einkauf mit Übersicht für Verantwortliche. Nachvollziehbare Prozesse ersetzen manuelle Arbeit.

CONS

Keine mobile App verfügbar. Schnelle Integration bestehender Systeme, aber Fehlen einer Anbindung an Sevdesk/Google Chat usw. Monatliche Kosten, die sich jedoch durch Zeitersparnis und intuitiven Prozess amortisieren.

PROS

Intuitive to use and matches the requirements of our users. Receipts are easy to find - before, we spent about 5 hours a month just searching for missing receipts. The Amazon integration allows our employees to order in their familiar interface. The integration of various order catalogs and platforms is a significant advantage. All steps, from ordering to invoicing, can be managed in one tool. Preventing expenditures outside the budget. Integration into Slack streamlines the approval workflow, saving time in our daily work routine. All processes are traceable, eliminating the tedious manual work.

CONS

No mobile version is available. The missing interface to Sevdesk/Google Chat would be appreciated.
