    Very easy to upload & maintain all your expenses at the same place & the same time and its a very clean & clear user interface and supports various formats. many times we can approve the timesheets form our mobile itself and takes less time to submit the reports if asked to attach any missing reports and it is very easy to code the departments & Gl categories and also we have specific employee codes to search very fast & its easy to delete also if something is not requierd maybe Thank you payments stuff and etc and it is also detects if any duplicate transactions are uploaded & we can also ignore those specific transactions to avoid it in the next month's uploads and also we can download each and every month reports of all the list of employees who all are using this application and can find the approvers very easily in the settings tab and also we can change our approvers & can change the proxy approver also and we can verify if any connection failures are happening in if any reports are having failure message and we have all types of card uploaded like manual cards & corporate cards & Amex cards & easy to reject if any missing details to be added by employees

    It is well targeted at restaurants and similar service organizations with complex COGS. It dovetails well with complementary systems like FinTech payments. It wasn't designed by accountants, so there is a bit of roughness. Reporting is very limited: would like to see some SQL / build your own report functionality. Lookups are reasonably robust (filter for amount, time, vendor, etc). It is occasionally unstable but recovers gracefully. From our use case, it would be preferable to have the user approving the invoice ALSO have the ability to attach documents. This is left to the payment approver, who in our case is the "check signer".

    Cons
    Emburse
    • Synchronisation errors list should be available to download
    • Synchronisation fails for whole timesheet when there is one error and we need to hunt for the particular one. It will be better if it fails only the one that has errors
    • Downtime during monthend close timelines occasionally

    I was not talking directly with the customer support. My understanding was that, there was some maintenance on the platform but it was never inconvenient for employee or during pick time when employee would put their expenses in the tool. To that extent, I think the support for Nexonia is correct

    They have a dedicated support person for each customer who actually knows the product.
    Turnaround is usually within an hour or faster.

    As mentioned earlier in the several questions, Emburse Nexonia is easy to use compared to all the above applications. Integration is easy and plenty of automation opportunities in Emburse Nexonia. Capturing a time sheet is an additional option that no other application has this feature which is a key aspect in any org. to do variance analysis.

    We used DocuWare first; great experience; however, it was not made specifically for restaurant clients like Plate IQ is. Plate IQ does a much better job of recognizing common items, and they've continued to add a function that is important for restaurant owners. Restaurant 365, we felt, was trying to be a complete package of accounting/AP/AR/inventory. After looking at each piece, we didn't feel that each of them was as strong as the other.

    • Nexonia Expenses has provided a positive impact on ROI because it saves time for employees who are submitting expenses for reimbursement.

    • In my opinion, it has had zero impact on ROI now that we are paying for an additional year.
    • Another negative is that we've spent a lot of time discussing this issue with Plate IQ, to no avail. They feel it's appropriate to charge a company for an entire year of service even though said company emailed to cancel prior to the end of the first year of service.
    • We also wasted a lot of time onboarding this company only to find out that the software left a lot to be desired.
