Weel (formerly DiviPay) is a virtual corporate card and expense management platform from the company of the same name in Surry Hills, that aims to enable finance teams to better manage, control and streamline spending across their organisation.
We are currently in the process of planning our company wide retreat in which we need at least 69 people to book their flights. While with that many people traveling at once, I do suspect I'll get some questions and have to assist some folks however by using Lola.com, the time I would have spent prior will be cut drastically. And I'll be able to see who is taking what flight and obtain departure and arrival information without much interruption to anyone's day. Prior to Lola.com this task would have been something truly daunting, but not this time!
Weel is well suited for businesses where there are multiple teams and if each team needs to track of their budget. It also suits if there are new projects and each project has its own team and team incurs expenses for the business. For example, if there is a construction project and each team needs to use their credit cards to pay some instant expenses, weel is well suited to assign a budget to the team so team does not spend more than what they are assigned (or can be approved) and it is easy to issue/cancel cards on the fly
Provides corporate leadership with great insights into employee travel costs BEFORE they hit corporate credit cards, thereby facilitating better budgeting, planning, and cash flow management
Offers employees who travel a single interface for booking travel
Provides employees who are traveling with concierge level service when booking and while on the road
Room for existing features to grow and expand, especially on the administrative side
Visually-speaking, the overall layout and color scheme used within the site, specifically when it comes to placement and contrast of key text info, has led to some confusion at times
Need for more support of existing travel rewards accounts
This is just my guess as I'm not involved in the decision aside from providing feedback on using Lola. I think, from what I've heard, that everyone likes Lola and we'll renew the usage. I say this because we're an all-remote company and this greatly solves the logistics of booking flights for everyone.
Lola is simple and straight to the point in regards to usability. I didn't have to figure things out and felt that the interface was intuitive. I loved it.
Lola's customer support is fantastic. They have frequently contacted us when there are travel alerts, or anticipated flight cancellations to re-book us before it was too late. They are always helpful and pleasant and we have never had any issues.
Lola.com is much easier to use in terms of UX. Very little Admin and/or user training is needed to get up and running with Lola.com -- which increases our ability to quickly scale the solution. However, I would say that Concur is able to do more inside the travel arena with the addition of expense tracking.
Weel has very easy user interface, it is easy to go around the system and support is very knowledgeable if you need any help. AMEX is not as user friendly as Weel and top of it, Weel provides good integration with Xero accounting system. Dashboard is very visible by all employees and users
They have made travel cheaper, so that is a direct reflection to our customers and to us.
Customer Service just makes the stress of travel on our employees not so bad. Knowing we have someone to stand behind us while we travel goes a long way
We used to waste our time to chase the bank to get and issue a card for employees, it is almost instant to do it via Weel.
We spent hours to keep track of reimbursement expenses and employees had to wait to get paid back but with Weel, it is all automated and approval process is very visible.
