An Excellent Easy to Use Intuitive Contractor Management Portal Sonovate

We have recently placed some IoT Consultants as contractors with a UK based client. We used Sonovate to process everything including the timesheets, approvals, invoices and all disbursements. It is an amazing systems, easy to use, very intuitive and payments are all received on time and correct! The team are amazing and Jack did a wonderful job making sure we were kept abreast of the process to get our client approved & loaded on to the system! Highly recommend them to any recruitment consultancy looking for support to place high value contractors!

Highly recommend! Incredible customer service. Super helpful.

The customer service at Sonovate is incredible. I've been nothing but impressed by the team and would highly recommend them to anybody.
Massive thanks to Jack Pollard and Simone Kang in particular who consistently go above and beyond. Jack never fails to impress and has gone out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly and is easily understandable. He's always there when you need him, super professional, committed, incredibly helpful and makes the whole process simple and fun. Simone has also been a constant support, always there to provide advice and wisdom. Since onboarding with Sonovate, both Jack and Simone have been incredibly helpful, super quick and really proactive in addressing any possible issues before they even arise. I couldn't thank Jack and Simone enough for their work and amazing customer service.
I highly recommend signing up with Sonovate!

George Mckinty and Sophie Vearncombe Set Standard in Customer Service

As a business we have used Sonovate since 2018 and George Mckinty has been our account manager since 2019 and Sophie Vearncombe our go to Credit Risk contact. George and Sophie provide a fast, efficient and friendly service, understanding that sometimes speed is vital in contract recruitment. They are both able to take sensible decisions not just a "computer says no" view based on their knowledge of our business. If you are become a Sonovate customer, you will not be disappointed by George and Sophie.

Recruitment Business Owner Review

As the owner of a small recruitment business, I can confirm that Sonovate has been a trusted partner for many years, providing excellent service to ourselves and our contractors, whose contracts are managed through their user-friendly portal.
Over several years, there have only been a handful of incidents / contractor issues, but these have been dealt with professionally and as efficiently as possible, with procedures in place after to try and ensure that the same issues don't arise again.
All-in-all, I can confirm that I am certainly happy with the support and service that Sonovate and Nicola have provided and will continue using them for the forseeable future.

Outstanding customer care

The customer service and care offered by Sonovate is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond. Attentus Consulting needed international and domestic contractors to get paid and they facilitated a solution that was agile and flexible. Simone Kang was a constant source of help and wisdom and huge shout out to Jack Pollard - my onboarding manager. Jack is an absolute gem; his diligence and commitment to the customer experience is outstanding, as is his incredible 'customer first' approach. I have been approached by other invoice financing businesses but because of the service I received from Sonovate [especially Jack] I am a firm and loyal customer.

Sonovate Review

I cannot thank Nicola Anderson and Lucy Gibbons enough for all the hard work they do for us. They go above and beyond to solve any queries as soon as possible and are always on hand to help myself or any candidates.
The only downside to Sonovate is that it can be extremely hard to get a response from the Customer Service team from time to time, if this was much quicker the whole process would be a lot easier. Nicola and Lucy tend to be the people I lean on to answer any queries but if either of them are out of the office it feels very difficult to get anything done/resolved.

Sonovate - USE THEM!

Hello, Readers! I have recently started up my own business after 25 years of making other people money, and the prospect was very daunting. I had considered not providing the full services I wanted to for clients, which was namely providing temporary staff, as I am in the recruitment industry. Upon being recommended Sonovate by a mutual contact, they have really and truly helped my business grow in it's infancy stage by providing an excellent backup service to me, and therefore my clients. They have really held my hand every step of the way, and their systems are easy and comprehensive, allowing me to service my clients whilst leaving the back office temp payroll side to them - after a very simple and quick set up. I heartily recommend them to any fledgling recruitment companies looking to set up a temps desk, but don't have the facilities in house. Jack and Simone should really be sainted, as they have spent time to make sure I understand the process and that I am set up correctly, with the priority being that temporary workers get paid on time, and the client experience is simple yet excellent.

Generally pretty good on the whole and have worked with Sonovate for a few years now - we went through a spell which wasn't the greatest as Emily was away and no-one really picked anything up from finance to customer service but thankfully that service is rare! Emily is a star though and has been amazing with our business from day one, you should look after her as she is great! Finance sometimes a bit slow but i appreciate the team are very busy at times. Placements can sometimes take too long to get pushed through from credit risk also. Otherwise it's a generally very positive relationship!

Highly Recommended Business Finance Option

In my opinion I would say that Sonovate are one of the most reputable Business Finance companies out there. That’s because of their high level of professionalism, reliability, low rates, and commitment to speedy funding.
We love how our accounts system is integrated to sync with the Sonovate platform. Providing quick & easy access to release cash from our weekly invoices.
The Credit Control function that is provided takes the total stress away from chasing your debtor ledger & the dedicated credit control team are always at hand to run through your debtor ledgers or provide any reports that you may need to assist with Managment reporting etc.
The credit control team assigned to our Company have build up strong, long lasting relationships with each of our clients.
Our Relationship Manager Emily Bartle, along with Emma Stuart in Customer Services, Rebecca Jones in Credit Control & the rest of the team there at Sonovate are always on hand to help & assist with any queries we have.
Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. Great support & efficient!

My business has worked with Sonovate for around 6 years. We've also found the system to be efficient, easy to use and the business model works really well for us.
The support team are easy to reach and equally as fast and efficient. They have accommodated some tricky processes to help us engage with new customers too. Highly recommended!

We have used Sonovate for 3 years now and they have been excellent. Easy to use portal, easy to get in touch with them for any assistance, and very helpful at resolving any issues - of which there are not really many. I recommend them highly to anyone.
