Emburse
  • Easy to use with little to no navigational training needed for most users.
  • Being able to add our own compliance rules eliminates the back and forth between creator and approver.
  • Invoices can be created, approved, and paid within hours.
    • Normally, our processing time is two or three days. Before Emburse Chrome River Invoice, it was up to two weeks.
  • Easily upload receipts/invoices into the system using email or the application SNAP. No need to have a scanner.

The one part I would suggest approval in is when updating an invoice. If for example, one employee approved an invoice and then I, the administrator, make a change before the second employee approves an invoice the invoice is resubmitted to the original employee. It would be much easier if the invoice would only go to the secondary/final approver even once a change is made

Beanworks takes some time to set up initially, but once it's ready on your computer, it is very easy to use in conjunction with QuickBooks. They have representatives that are readily available or can schedule an appointment to walk you through it if you are ever having issues. Uploading invoices is quick and easy. Approvers can easily make changes to coding before approving.

We were previously using paper check requests or Jaeger for invoicing payments. We do still use them for anything other than travel. However, all travel-related items are processed through Emburse Chrome River Invoice--we are hopeful that in the future we will navigate to processing all payments in Emburse Chrome River.
