Avaza vs. Expensify

We are a pretty unique business because we deal with bookkeeping, marketing, and HR and across all 3 departments, we have been able to successfully use the tool. Other software we have tried usually caters to one industry at a time.

Expensify has been incredibly useful to me for many years. Considering I am using the free version, it's hard to find a better value! If your company does not have a good expense-capturing system, Expensify will save you hours on submitting reports. You can take a picture and toss the paper receipts right at the point of sale without worrying about losing them during your travels. If you have a small business, you can use it to track and organize regular expenses to make billable expenses and end-of-year taxes a whole lot easier.

• It switches between Kanban view, List view, and Gantt charts which fits varying preferences!
• It helps us work smart by creating dependencies and linking tasks to calendars
• It has a clean, intuitive dashboard that's very easy to navigate

• Submitting expenses. It's easy to enter an expense, choose a category, enter the dollar amount and submit it. That's about it.
• Uploading receipts. You can send receipts to Expensify from your phone, or upload them from your computer.
• Entering hours worked. It's simple to move from expenses over to timesheets to submit the hours that you've worked.

• The interface and taxonomy could use an update, sometimes it's hard to figure out where things logically are or should be.

• Make it easier to submit multiple receipts/files in one expense
• Often times I get a warning that the value of a receipt doesn't match what I manually I inputted. So making Smart scanner a little smarter, essentially.
• It would be fun to see stats about my expenses

We like using the tool and we receive positive feedback from employees and management who use the tool. It saves time and helps us concentrate on the value adding activities so we are very likely to keep using Expensify in the future

Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work.

Mobile works great, but let's be honest. It's just a photograph. Their OCR and human turk technology works great to scan that photo and enter the proper information. The web interface is decent and allows you to work with single expenses in great detail. What's missing is the ability to mass update expenses, and this sometimes hurts, especially if you're a heavy user of the system.

They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues.

Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.

Avaza takes the easy of Asana and adds the invoicing and bookkeeping capabilities you need all in one place.

Concur was a great product as well but Expensify offers the ability to quickly upload expenses and submit reports just the same. There is no free version with Concur, so for a small business that's interested in keeping costs down I would highly recommend Expensify.

• Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.

Incentivized

• Our organization no longer spends countless hours per month orchestrating the consolidation of data (MS Excel, typically) into our general ledger.
• Our accounting department is no longer tasked with making sure the correct individuals have approved submitted reports.
• Our accountants have a much easier time coding the reports that have been submitted by users. For the most part, we rely on users to code their submissions to the correct accounts.
