Pros

“I like the programs ability to detect duplicate invoices as well as to be able to quickly find old invoices using several different methods depending on what information you have available.”
MF

Michael F.

Administrator

“The platform aggregates information and minimizes telephone calls and emails while, at the same time, record-keeping the dialogue and content necessary to secure an invoice approval for which there is more than one approval step.”
JP

John P.

“I would like it to have more capabilities for posting wires into intacct without the reference number and to be able to update the stampli system with the details once its posted in Intacct.”
