Ragin Cajun CR Expense Review
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- The most positive is the impact on the indirect cost of personnel processing due to the quick electronic processing vs manual paper processes. We were able to reduce the personnel within the Finance Office by 2 and repurpose others to do more auditing instead of manual processing.
- The ability to impose strict compliance rules on allowable rates has reduced the expense of travel for the university since we are able to have employees reimburse the university for overpayment easily. There is no longer any middle of the road of when this happens.
- The only negative impact is that the university is made up of academics who resist change and/or don't value the financial impacts as much as administrators. This has led to a few new hires of additional personnel in the administrative offices of the departments.

Chrome River EXPENSE Rocks!
- Chrome River EXPENSE alleviated our manual process, which in turn increased the time our staff now have to work on other projects.
- It has made it simple to provide a detailed spend analysis within a few minutes of the request.
- Prior to implementing Chrome River EXPENSE, we were using paper forms. We think Chrome River is a major improvement over the previous process. One positive impact is the ability of expense owners to see their report throughout the approval process.
- Approvers are able to approve reports anywhere at anytime. Before, they had to be in the office to approve a paper report.
- The analytics tools allow us to make entries at month-end to capture any outstanding expenses for the month. It also allows us to review where our largest spend is.

Small fish with a big bite
- Able to decommission multiple "hosted" solutions to use a single Cloud solution.
- Well managed solution takes pressure of system admins/accountants.
- Those moving from manual (spread sheet) type entry did not appreciate the change of habits needed.

Love this Great Expense Management Tool
- Happier workforce when it relates to reconciling expenses
- Easier outlook of organizational spending
- Easier to forecast spending using analytics reports
- We consistently get reimbursements out in a quarter of the time it used to take, without cutoffs.
- We are able to see where expense reports are in the approval process at any time.
- We know are numbers with a few clicks and can review receipt data without issue, which is especially helpful in tax season.
- It's been easier to meet business objectives with this tool, though it has not been used as much as I would like for regular decision-making.
- I have not witnessed negative impacts, though I would say that some employees were reluctant to change to a modern expense management system. Most have loved Chrome River after encouragement and one-on-one training.

Chrome River EXPENSE misses the mark, not for tech reasons but for people and support reasons
- We ended up with such a long investment in rollout that I can't begin to calculate an ROI.
- It has met the business objective of removing most paper from the workflows.
- It has met the business objective of providing electronic approval flows.

Success with Chrome River EXPENSE
- I can’t really speak to this.
- Had we not implemented Chrome River EXPENSE system, the pandemic crisis would have been disastrous for us. Can't imagine living through the nightmare of a manual system. I have no idea of how we would have overcome that!
- As staff members begin to go back to work, my unit is still fully functioning remotely because Chrome River allows us to efficiently process transactions remotely.
- So far the only significant downside is timely reconciliation of credit card transactions. Having to wait for the end users to submit expense reports reconciling credit card transactions before posting in the ERP system reduces the accounting office control over reallocating card expenditures.
