At a glance
Quadient AP is the payables product Quadient acquired with Vancouver-based Beanworks in 2021. It layers capture, coding, approval routing and payment on your ledger, adds requisitions and a mobile expense module, and its Sage coverage from Intacct to Sage 300 CRE is unusually complete.

Using the same receipt on the customer side
None of this needs a big-bang cutover. Most teams run both tools for one cycle and compare capture rates before switching anyone off.
On Sage 300 CRE their coverage is deeper, and that may decide the whole question.
Connect Sage or your other ledger and map categories and tax codes once.
Compare capture rates on employee spending, which is where the two products really differ.
Start card issuing with the teams that bring back the most receipts, and track how many match on their own.
