The expense module is being used throughout the organization in 2 different companies. We use Chrome River EXPENSE for credit card purchases and other employee reimbursements. The credit card feature has addressed the issues of timing on collection or misplacement of receipts. No transaction is finalized unless receipts are attached. This also reduces much leg work down the road when audit season comes and we do not have to pull boxes of receipts. The other feature that solved our business needs is the mileage submissions. By having Goggle Maps interface, users don't have to enter all the data on a form and calculate the mileage trips. All this information is set up in Chrome River. This also reduces fraud by having business rules setup for dates of trip etc.
  • OCR Recognition when it comes to receipts. With some, it will auto-populate the transaction amount and merchant, along with the type of expense.
  • Mosaic Tiles are mapped to GL expenses, so end users do not need to know the GL Codes that are associated with the expense. They just need to select the correct tile.
  • Compliance Rules - Having the capability of setting up multiple rules tailored to your organization has been very helpful.
  • Reporting - Additional reporting could be helpful.
  • Direct Interface with accounting software - It would reduce time if files between our accounting software and Chrome River can integrate simultaneously.
  • Enhancements by Admins - I would like to see Admins have more capabilities to change things, although this is in the works.
If your business is heavy with credit card use along with mileage requests then this is the software you need to use to improve the flow of your operations. Having said that, if you're not heavy with these types of transactions then it might not be beneficial to your operation.

  • Cutting staff time on doing repetitive work has been very positive.
  • Reducing coding errors on expenses has also improved.
  • Having transactions streamlined to the correct workflow has improved our business operations.
Chrome River has helped transition my Finance team to another level. In the past we were paper driven and did not see some oft the pitfuls on how expenses were being coded, which lead to us making adjustments sometimes months later. The system also has improved the connection between each of our locations now that we have a centralized workflow for Expense Reporting. Communication, processing and reduction of errors have improved. We only have touch the surface on what can get out of this system.
Concur was the other software we were comparing, and we found Chrome River EXPENSE to be more user friendly for end-users. We also felt we had more control on setting up the software to our needs.
The help support is really good. If it's something that is high importance they will respond and address quickly.

Product Use was the biggest factor. We wanted something to be user friendly to the end user and Chrome River is exactly that.
I think for the most part we narrowed down our search based on software's that assist in Mileage tracking and Credit Card Management, which Chrome River was the best at.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
Since we had issues with prior Audits in reference to Mileage Reports and lost receipts for Credit Cards, we had people bought in to get something like this.
  • Integration
  • Platform setup
Before implementation begins, make sure you have a plan on how you would like your workflow and platform setup for a system like Chrome River. It will speed the process and eliminate the need to make changes when you go live.
  • Online training
The software is very user friendly, so the online training was easy to pickup for everyone.
Just right for the product.
I would like to see more Reporting Options.
Some - we have done small customizations to the interface
It was pretty easy. We added a link for our Intranet.
