Lightyear Reviews

It took all manual inputting invoices and reconciliation to statements away saving huge amount of time, was 100% accurate taking away human error, provided great audit trail and reporting, clear lines of authorisation of invoces.

There were no obvious cons that we could see

The ability to set up different team members to approve invoices, as well as keeping all invoices in one central location, uploaded via suppliers. Integration to Xero is also fantastic.

The learning curve for new users takes some work.

Layered and tiered approval process Simple and easy to use, very user friendly PDF recognition Progressive software company that looks to continue to develop its product

Speed of software can be improved Can improve on recognition of other file formats

Saves so much time, easy to use, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Easy to train our Farm Managers to use to code invoices.

Can't think of anything. We have been really pleased with Lightyear.

Many thanks for taking the time to complete a review on Lightyear. Glad to hear you are saving time with coding your invoices.

- Duplicate filtering - Xero Intergration - Automated Coding & Mapping - Statement reconciliation - Flagging of GST or amounts that may require reviewing if the coding does not match the PDF

I would love to see other forms of purchase bills/receipts accepted in future updates

Its easy to use. Its very clear and the team and customer service are excellent. MIssing invoices are always easy to locate.

Sometimes I find it difficult to map some of the smaller businesses, but as someone who is not techno savvy this is just a small problem.

The best bit of Lightyear is the cloud archive of all our purchase invoices, we no longer have to keep paper archives saving us space and time. We also like the Bill Task function which allows us to send an approval request to a specific person who may only approve a few invoices.

We would like an integration into simPRO which we use to raise orders, this will reduce the administration involved in managing our PO’s and PI’s.

Many thanks for your review and feedback. We have some exciting developments regarding PO's in the future. We are always exploring new integrations and I will pass this back to the product team.

The best feature is the direct integration with our Oracle NetSuite which has enable the team to save a lot of time printing, posting, and filing paper invoices.

Nothing of note - integration was a success and really well supported by the Lightyear team, and they also support closely with any queries as we use the software on a daily basis.

Many thanks for reviewing us. We will pass along your praise to the support team.

The mapping that allows for pre population of data. This saves considerable time and adds a level of accuracy to the data process.

Iam finding it difficult to pin down any feature I don't like !

Very much user friendly, well programmed and mostly importantly very secured.

Nothing yet that I have experienced any bad so far.

Many thanks for the review. Glad to hear you are finding the product to be user-friendly.

It is very user friendly option of mapping is brilliant

There should be more features on the processing tab to save the invoice there. Should have more option to customize mapping

Reducing the AP process time at least 50%. You are able to see the the line items and the statement can be automatically reconciled. So if there are missing invoices that you can chase them up immediately. The Support team is also wonderful. They response your problems quickly.

If mapping can be more automatically for any format of invoices will be great.

Hi Li, Many thanks for the feedback, delighted to hear you are enjoying the software. Good news is we have enhancements planned for the data extraction process in 2020. Stay tuned. Chris

This is the only product I've been able to find where it can map what's on an invoice and has an approval process built-in. Also no requirement to have PO's which a lot of similar products use.

At first, I couldn't work out how to use it but after a quick demo, it was very easy to use.

- The fact that a given suppliers' invoices are mapped by a human first time round, rather than relying solely on OCR. - The quality of data extraction is high. - The multiple approvals functionality including dual Executive Approval function is very useful.

I wish invoice descriptions that don't fit on one line would be picked up by the software, rather than truncating the description after the first line.

the ease of processing prevention of invoice duplication importing to software with full description details

there not really anything I did not like

Extremely user-friendly; easy to setup, integrate, implement and maintain. Loved the customer service we received!

Nothing as such, its a good platform, easy to integrate.

As we are a small team i have always been on the look out for software that will save us time. Looking at our processes, accounts payable and data entry was the biggest time suck for our business. A friend put me onto lightyear and we've never looked back. All my invoices get broken down and sucked into Xero in seconds. Every price is checked automatically and compared to the set LUC. I have cut down our invoice processing time by much more than half using this little gem of an app.

Cons: Being so impressed with Lightyear, that it has made me want to tell the world about it via this Capterra review....5 minutes of my life i'll never get back.

Many thanks for the review. Great to hear that you are saving 50% of your time.

Clear and simple workflows allows for correct coding and ensures managers have transparency and accountability around their purchases.

Being able to integrate inventory into myob would be handy but the flexibility of lightyear means we have a simple workaround.

The mapping of the invoices is amazing! The support that comes with lightyear is the best customer support I have received, instant helpful support. Issues resolved quickly and efficiently every time.

We are just waiting for the PO functionality to be available to help better our processes, the only thing I least like about lightyear is that its not available yet.

Very easy to use and cuts down totally on paperwork

Still a work in progress for raising PO's etc but wouldn't say this is a fault as the system is constantly getting upgraded

The ease of use and that fact that it is so easy to navigate your way through the system. The reporting is first class as lightyear sorts all invoices for you into their correct category and account.

The obvious is the set up process, very timely. But hey once complete correct the first time, life is so much easier and quicker to compile your invoicing.

Easy to use and great for automating your AP process

Minimal issues, hard to complain about such a good software!

Easy access for all managers to view and approve invoices. Less paper as the Tax Invoices are saved in the program

Cannot delete Gl codes or Suppliers from the system that were imported incorrectly

Ease of use, excellent customer service, ability to have multiple levels of authorisation

Not much - if I have to make a comment it is that the actual invoice does not flow through to MYOB, however I understand that this is an MYOB issue

Great features with a good balance of intelligent software and learning systems to give the most reliable and dependable invoice processing software available

Nothing since they build in OCR scanning and auto detection!

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Great to hear how you are saving time with the approvals workflow.
