Pros

It was incredibly easy to implement and the support we received from the whole Web expenses team was excellent and led to this landing within our company very positively.
The website continues to become more user friendly and their resources for troubleshooting are great.
Customer support is extremely nice and helpful. They are always available to answer any and all questions.

Pros

It's made each head of department responsible for their own invoices and the processing of them which is great.
The Lightyear software is very affordable, user friendly and easy to implement. It does have many functionalities and the integration to NetSuite ERP system is very robust.
Cost effective and over all this is great tool that helping organisation to minimize cost with less effort and good record keeping tracker and processing.

Cons

Unable to label receipts before uploading, only 2 VAT codes, failed transfers can only be reloaded by support.
For example attaching a receipt immediately closes that claim item , so if you need to amend other details, too bad you have to find it and reopen it, a few things like this were a bit weird.
Many give up and just do it on paper/excel and give it to an admin person to suffer through for them. I guess that says it all.

Cons

Hard code description against suppliers when it is always the same description that needs to be entered.
Using Lightyear eliminates the overhead of a staff member and risk of manual data entry errors.
Cannot delete Gl codes or Suppliers from the system that were imported incorrectly.
