Likelihood to Recommend AvidXchange is well suited for companies with multiple locations where approvals may be hard to get directly. A user can log on when they have time basically from anywhere to review, code and approve invoices. This would allow for processing of invoices centrally more efficiently then with appear invoices being moved from one place to another to be processed
Read full review Everhour is useful in every environment where you need the measure of time for certain tasks. In most cases, this could be project management but it could also include trips or travels, conferences, congresses, or several other things that you need to take control of the time used. Its less appropriate if you are going to measure things in weeks or days, it's better to measure smaller pieces of time like minutes of hours, so you could have a more useful metrics to work with.
Read full review Pros Our contractors and vendors can submit invoices electronically through AvidBill, removing the tedious task of sorting and coding mail. This feature saves on time and administrative duties. Communication is key, and being able to log a comment or question in AvidInvoice allows for clarification and expedited approval process. Having multiple properties, having the Property Code and % Allocation features allow us to ensure the correct entity is charged it's portion of expenses. For example, we may have a service that is coded to all 32 properties. With AvidInvoice we are able to allocate each entity's pro rata share of the invoice. Read full review It has a genius dashboard with all real-time traffic information of all team members. It is a very useful tool as well to track efficiency for both in-house and remote team members It has well-done integration with Asana (and other task-managers) which allows you to track time on tasks without switching between apps or tools which it truly awesome It has a scheduling tool which allows you to plan long term traffic of all your team members by using Asana projects and tasks so there is no need to copy and paste the same story points between different systems It has flexible reporting system which allows you to build very custom project time tracking report based on your needs (any field or table type can be customized and you wish) Read full review Cons AvidPay needs some improvement to minimize the amount of time it takes to issue payment for invoices The search features within AvidXchange on the advanced search screen sometimes do not function correctly (sorting by ascending / descending order doesn't work all of the time). The log enhancement follow-up procedure could use some work. Read full review I'd like to see a bit more control over user permissions and/or roles. Perhaps the ability to create a custom user role (e.g., allow users to see their own rate and pull reports accordingly). A global place to set project rate to avoid having to enter it for every project. All of our team members & projects are billed at the same rate regardless of who works on it (some clients receive a discount, but that could continue to be managed within their client profile). This would also eliminate the need to display average combined rates for projects on invoices (which sometimes results in a weird decimal calculation for the rate, even when all team members and projects are currently entered using the same rate). Add an offline functionality for use when internet is not available (e.g., when traveling, remote workers, etc) or desktop app that syncs upon reconnection Read full review Likelihood to Renew At the moment we have a contract for another year, we are hoping there is improvement with the company to decide if we stay with them or change.

Read full review Support Rating Except for occasional escalations needed to Level 2 support, they are efficient and quick with nearly all requests.
Read full review In the almost 2 1/2 years we have had to contact support 1 time and it really was for a feature request. Their support team responded quickly and told us that the feature was going to be added in the next few months. We have had no support issues ever. I have never had a time tracking solution that has had no issues until Everhour.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We are presently evaluating a move to
Concur Invoice , not because of any real lack of functionality from AvidXchange, but simply because we have other business functions already on
Concur Invoice . From what we have seen so far, the functionality is similar, though I believe
Concur Invoice is more expensive.
Read full review Toggl was extremely user-unfriendly and had not an integration with
Asana (one of our favourite tools). The interface was not easy to use, it was a non-intuitive tool and did not allow us to track time as clearly as Everhour. We used
Toggl just for days simultaneously we were testing Everhour and gave up the use very fast.
Read full review Return on Investment AvidXchange allows our office to be more productive on invoice approvals. Overall, AvidXchange is saving us money. We do not have to courier invoices back and forth once signatures have been provided. You can approve invoices from anywhere as long as you have internet access. Read full review Transparency in effort spent and the ability to easily track the team activity gives the power to whoever is managing the effort to track effort against budget, and if a yellow or red alert must be raised. It is fairly easy to invoice customers, as efforts spent on features or projects can be easily viewed. Read full review ScreenShots
