"I think the number one benefit for Concur Invoice that we have seen would be the tracking and the ability to see what documentation is needed, what approvals are needed. Just where it is in the process. And things are getting paid on time and in a timely manner. We don’t have people calling us wondering where their money is. So I think between the time and the tracking it’s been very beneficial."
"Concur Invoice has been extremely beneficial to us. Everything is just laid out there in black and white. It’s not, it’s all in our computer. Everything is, we don’t we’re not chasing down paper. All the supporting documentation is attached to the invoice. We can get it to the right approver. We can make sure everybody has what we need so I would say it’s very, it makes things a lot easier in the AP process."
"I think that the cost savings that we have seen would be more of a time savings. We don’t have as many people working on the system so the time that they spend can be spent selling the product or doing other things that are more important. We have a better work flow laid out so that we have specific approval, specific people submitting so it comes to accounting so I think the process is much more streamlined."
"I think Concur is an awesome tool for business use. It’s made my life easier. All of our approvers, their lives are easier while it’s still hard and cumbersome, its, expense reporting is not a fun thing and we’re trying to make it as easy for the users as possible and I think Concur does that."
"Concur Pay is a service that allows us to pay our employees without having to go through payroll. Concur Pay actually takes an extract of all the amounts owed to our employees and then distributes it to their bank accounts. It leaves us out of the process completely with the exception of transferring money from our bank, our dispersing account or our depository account to our Concur pay bank account which we have a separate bank account set up for that purpose. We were one of the first people I believe to do Concur Pay and so we really like it, I mean I can’t even imagine having to load a file to payroll."
"So we had 14 to 28 people entering in check requests and no one really quite knew where anything was. It would have to go through a lot of approval processes and different people’s desks, different emails. But now we’ve streamlined it to two people entering in check requests. Before, we had a lot of times requests just never got paid because we didn’t know about it. We couldn’t follow the trail so now we can."
