Overall Satisfaction with Emburse Chrome River
We use Emburse Chrome River to meet our Procure-to-Pay needs, as well as assist us with our unique workflow needs as a non-profit. We have quite a few Program and Budget Owners that need to review PO's and Invoices so that we can satisfy this need through Chrome River. We can also handle encumbrance accounting and reports through the system to provide helpful budget reports to those same users.
- Robust PO and Invoice Workflow Approval.
- Solid integration and data feed options to connect with most ERP's.
- Clean and intuitive interface for end users.
- The ability to apply multiple PO's to a single invoice.
- The ability to import transactions/invoices through a ccv feed.
- Build out their API connections so you can push and pull data into the system.
- Positive: Assisted in automating more of our A/P process.
- Positive: Allows our users to handle more of the process on their own instead of requiring Finance's assistance through the entire process.
- Negative: The system doesn't allow you to amend an existing PO, so it can create a convoluted list of PO's if you have to make corrections or adjustments. Reduces some of the efficiencies the system brings in other areas.
- Procurify and Accrualify
The 3 biggest reasons we went with Chrome River were: The dynamic workflow capabilities of Chrome River compared to other systems. We have 30-45 budget owners who need to review/approve based on the budget codes they oversee. Most other systems just allowed for a departmental figure to review/approve. The ability to generate encumbrance reports for our non-profit needs. The cost-benefit of system features and functionality to the pricing model.
