What do you like best about Center?

I also really like how Center automatically generates reports for expense management. It provides us with its real time spending insights, helping us to manage our budgets better. It’s easy to create expenses categories and set up workflow approvals that keep everything compliant and on time. It also works well with our accounting software, so we don’t have to do much manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

The setup was a bit tricky for a large team like ours, but center is great. We expected it to take more time to set up workflows to meet our needs. The reports are good, it’s just missing a little bit of visual goodness with charts that make the data easier to digest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing expense is much easier and faster and has saved us hours every month. Our workflows are smoother with automated approvals and less manual work. It takes away some of the admin tasks and helps us focus on planning more. Plus, it’s central system is a real plus, being very clear and organized, which is a plus in the audit.

What do you like best about Center?

The thing I absolutely love about Center is the detailed analytics and reporting functionality. It’s also easy to create full reports on who did what, on what, and when, profitable for decision making. Customization options allow me to align the data with our business objectives and also allows me to update the reports as things change for everyone in the loop. As a result, we’ve been able to give real time insights in our meetings and make them more productive and results focused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

The biggest downside with Center for me is the first little barrier you have to overcome. It’s got a lot of functions, but it requires getting used to its tricky interface. Some things I would not have initially considered intuitive and it did take some trial and error to get used to. But once you get the hang of it, it is much more manageable and powerful. A more utuative user interface would help new users to learn faster and smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

Center has made our projects easier to manage, and made communication easier across teams. I’ve used it to track progress, set clear expectation and insure that there’s no forgotten tasks. Thanks to the software, our workflow became clearer — now teams can be organized and work efficiently. Besides, it has helped minimize the risk of deadlines being missed, increasing our team’s reliability and trustworthiness with our clients. It has increased the transparency of the team and taught each of them the accountability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Center?

Center is a great platform that is easy to use for credit card expenses and reimbursements. From an admin standpoint, it's a very helpful tool to help support our restaurant teams. It's also very helpful in tracking spending by department, location, or user. I would highly recommend Center for anyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

In the expense dashboard, it would be helpful to be able to filter and sort by "does not equal" in some instances. Instead, when filtering it's by default "equals". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's a very easy platform for our users to actualy utilize when submitting their expenses so it's not such a burden on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Center?

The one I prefer the most is tracking expenses in real time as it helps so much to keep track of the financial situation. It seamlessly integrated with our current accounting software so it was easy to track, sort and report all expenses. The user interface is easy to understand, plus, the application contains automation options which saved much of our time instead of doing everything ourselves, as well as minimized the number of mistakes made in accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

There is one weakness to Center and that is that the reporting options of Centre feel limited and aren’t as customizable as I would need them to be for other, more specific, analysis of a given project. We are therefore not able to get detailed insights, and we must use external tools to refine the analysis of data. In fact, we’ve occasionally suffered for trying to log expenses on the go when using the mobile version, so our workflow is slowed down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

By featuring real time tracking and auto categorization Center simplifies our expense management by eliminating manual data entry. Having done this has permitted our team to skip the end of month rush and improve overall financial accuracy. By integrating it with our accounting software, we now easily monitor expenses, which can help both the finance and the management teams save hours which would otherwise go into doing manual tasks.

What do you like best about Center?

The thing I like the most about Center is that it brings all our project management elements under one roof. Quick adoption is fostered by this user friendly interface. What I like about it is its capability of being integrated to others tools, like Slack and Google Drive and the way it can maintain fluid communication and sharing files. It definitely made our collaboration so much easier too, as we can keep track on the progress of the project without fumbling between platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

A big downside to Center is the limited reporting features it offers. It offers some useful metrics but to really get to the detailed insights we need to actually perform the in depth analysis, it can be difficult. Sometimes this shortcoming prevents us reaching a decision when we need to share data with stakeholders. What’s more, the lack of customization available for dashboards makes our ability to effectively show the progress of the project limited, which becomes problematic in terms of communication with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

Center has been of immense help in improving our project management activities. Previous to its employment, schedule work across the various departments was uncoordinated, but presently, the whole operation is arranged on this platform. It has certainly changed the way we are able to work together by tracking deadlines or assigning tasks. This has in return improved interaction between colleagues and thus not forgetting set due dates. on the whole it has enhanced its flexibility and efficiency of work, which has allowed us to better concentrate on the work for the clients.

What do you like best about Center?

In my opinion Center has the simplest task management feature among all it has to offer. It effectively allows the members of our team to easily generate tasks as well as assign them, which in return helps us to access overall organization and compliance. I also like that the dashboard is changeable, and I can sort all the assignments by the dates and their importance. Also, the reminder and notification features help avoid missing due tasks, which greatly increases our daily productivity as well as responsibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

A major disadvantage of Center is its restricted reporting facilities. Even though it does project some analytic capacities, it lacks the depth needed for analyzing team and project efficiencies. This has made it difficult for us to assess how efficient we have been on completing our tasks as well as how well we have complied with predetermined deadlines. Another disadvantage I have seen is that as project is organized and one has to deal with several at a go, activities can become tiresome, which sometimes causes Interference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

Center recognizes the disorderliness in handling of tasks. Before, the team members had issues with remembering who was assigned to do what so people missed their deadlines and there was confusion. Now, it has a formal method of mapping out the work that needs to be done and overseeing it. It has improved clarity which has increased efficiency as everyone was aware of duties as performed. It has also enhanced internal communication in the course of developing a project by reducing misunderstandings within the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using GetCenter for our corporate card needs, and it has truly transformed the way we manage business expenses. The platform is incredibly user-friendly, allowing us to issue and manage cards for employees with ease. One of the standout features is the ability to set custom spending limits and track transactions in real-time, which has greatly improved our expense control and budgeting accuracy.

The integration with our accounting system is seamless, saving us countless hours of manual entry. This has not only reduced errors but also sped up our reimbursement process, keeping our financials organized and up-to-date.

Customer support has been excellent as well. Whether it’s a quick question or a more complex issue, their team is always responsive and helpful. We've noticed a significant reduction in the time spent on managing expenses, which allows us to focus on growing the business.

I recommend GetCenter to any business looking for a hassle-free, efficient, and secure way to manage corporate expenses! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

There are a few minor areas for improvement. Occasionally, the mobile app can be a bit slow and sometimes crashes, requiring a restart. Additionally, while the reporting features are very good, having more customizable report templates would be helpful for specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Center?

One thing I appreciate about Center is that it provides one platform where we crunch all data and share information. It makes project management easier when integrated with the other tools we use, including the CRM and marketing platforms. It is also important to note how the interface in the app makes it easy to chase progress concerning given tasks and keep the team well oriented. It is easy to use for new users easy to navigate around and the report functions give use good feedback on our work processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Center?

There is one problem that I have found rather troubling in Center – it works perfectly with project management, but when it comes to working with big data sets, it feels kind of sluggish. At times the interface is slow particularly, during report access or when the team is multitasking. Lack of variations of some of the options is another constraint since it means we must bring the software’s working pattern into line with our business processes instead of the tool being developed to suit the firm’s needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Center solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was great to see that Center has assisted us in managing our communication tangible and our projects. This way it eliminates the problem of multitasking with different tools and helps the team stay more organized. The field of reporting works for our advantage by offering the ability to advance fast and make decision based on the provided information. On the whole it has been time saving and effective, integrating the productivity, enabling us to pay more attention to strategies rather than the management of different tools.
