Linking to our credit card is very helpful to match up receipts with charges, along with making sure the right receipt is attached. We have a list of account codes that our employees can choose from to match their budget expenses. It is very easy to add or subtract codes, etc. Each monthly Certify report must balance with the credit card statement.

Certify is well suited for businesses that have a lot of employees that travel. Our business is global so there are many employees traveling from country to country to get work done. All their expenses would be hard to keep track of if we did not have Certify. It is less appropriate to have Certify if only a few employees use the company card and if the company does not do a lot of traveling.

When you have employees who work in other cities and states, Certify is a great way to have expense reports submitted for approval and processing. The ease of taking a photo of a receipt is very helpful with missing receipts.

Certify is well suited for adding many departments and different expense categories within each department. I have also used the foreign currency tool that seems to work well (no complaints from users). I very much like the mileage calculation tool. At Enzo, we have not yet used the tool to allow for upload to the GL, for which I am looking forward to adding at some time. I am happy with the availability of reports and the option to add customized reports. One of the problems encountered is when a 2nd approver is not added to an employee's set up and the expense report does not seem to circulate properly unless I add a 2nd approver.

This system has changed the way accounting does expense reports, from manual to electronic, and it has saved hours of time. Because we were manual, some employees are having issues with having to put in so much manual information.

Certify is well suited for capturing, organizing and processing expenses with specific time frames, such as business trips or events. This platform seems less suited for the occasional expense, as it can be more challenging to "re-remember" all the steps to report and submit an expense. I have assisted colleagues where this is the case, and it has been a learning curve compared to what we did previously in our organization.

Certify is well suited when you need to be reimbursed for meals or travel incurred on the job. I travel for supplier audits and usually pay out of pocket for my travel accommodations so I like to get reimbursed right away if I can. I don't know when Certify would not be appropriate to use as I only use it for work.

It works great for someone that is required to do expense reports on a monthly basis. Anyone who is currently using Excel spreadsheets or scanning and submitting paper receipts NEEDS something like Certify. I cannot stress enough how much I was able to get accomplished because of the time I was able to get back.

When I travel I can use a mobile app on the go and never miss a step. I never miss something I should get reimbursed for. The entire process saves me time. I can easily review history. I can quickly get reimbursed on large expenses while in the office or out of the office. I have not found a single scenario with the company I work for where Certify has not been the best thing to happen to me in terms of getting receipts imported, expense reports generated, and getting my money back as quickly as possible!

I would not recommend using them to anyone.

We contacted our reps and let them know the software was not working for us. We tried, but it left us doing more work than our prior manual process. After requesting our account to be terminated, we were given penalties to be paid for exiting our contract agreement early. We asked why we were being charged after our rep agreed to no penalties, and their answer was that they resolved all of our questions and concerns. So because they gave us information on how to get around their faulty system, we had to pay the penalties for ending the contract.


Do not waste your time or money on this software!

It's particularly good for the frequent traveler and they can capture and submit the receipts very easily from their devices. This state-of-the-art design facilitates a great integration for expense tracking and management.
