Overall Satisfaction with Chrome River EXPENSE

We are currently using Chrome River to process expense reports, company credit card transactions and vendor bills. We are a 100% fully distributed company, meaning all our employees work remotely so this platform was key in giving structure and workflow to this process.
  • Workflow is very beneficial being 100% remote. We can see where things are hung up or re-route easily if someone is out or we need additional approval due to type or amount of purchase.
  • We recently implemented the pre-approval module which has significantly helped us manage our expenses and cash flow.
  • Having all our receipts and reports in one place makes it very easy to locate specific expenses or purchases.
  • It would be better if there was some kind of notification to admin/finance when a company-paid expense was sitting on someone's dashboard for more than 30 days.
  • Being able to see unsubmitted/draft bills and expense reports on a dashboard rather than running analytical reports would be helpful.
  • Positive impact on cash flow because I can better manage expenses with the pre-approval module and I can better manage when cash is going out.
We looked at Expensify at the time (2013). More recently, I looked at Zoho but these don't have the robust approval process nor ability to easily be classed into QuickBooks - we have a very complicated class structure.
Very well suited for distributed companies. Well-suited for companies that have a lot of individual expenses and bills as well as multiple layers of approvals because it's straightforward to locate where something is in the workflow process.
