What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

1. It requires more involvement for the PM. At our firm, in the past, the Project Accountant drove the billing meetings. Now the PMs are driving.

2. The PMs love all the project detail that is at their finger tips.

3. E.I. is moving the whole process along faster.

4. The PAs love the packaging.

5. PAs love that they can add documents such as Purchase Orders to packaging that shows up every month that they are required to give to the client.

6. The ease of reviewing Expenses and Consultant invoices from PAT and Chrome River that are processed in Vision.

7. PAs love the ability to save the % complete values back to Vision and no longer have to manually add these items to Vision. Big time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

1. That EleVia doesn't have enough consultants to get the work done in a timely manner.

2. Unable to load documents easily into the EI tab in project info center, verses having to load them thru E.I.

3. The inability to hide the Fee Method / Scheduled Billing inside % Complete.

4. Need a clear button in PM review of % Complete.

5. Unable to add percent complete and hit the enter key to advance forward, need to use the tab key. Most naturally hit the enter key.

6. Loading time. If you could spend up the time it takes for things to load.

7. If you can come up with a way to access prior unbilled detail and invoices more easily. Hen pecking thru the files is not intuitive for PMs, especially if there has been several draft runs.

8. Create better user docs or create videos that better explains the configuration section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EleVia Electronic Invoicing:

Yes I would recommend EI to others as it gives Project Managers a wealth of information at their finger tips. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Speeding up the invoicing process overall from preparing the drafts to final invoice.

2. It provides data that projects accountants use to cut and paste to the draft invoice. Very time intensive.

3. Provides the ability to send draft invoices to the client more simply and we can stamp them with the word draft in one place verses using several softwares to complete the task.

4. We can easily add documents on the fly without using multiple softwares to accomplish this.

5. It the first step to a larger plan. We plan on implementing Forecast Edge and have E.I and Forecast edge talk to one another.

6. Overall long term, we've only been using it for 2 months, we hope it will decrease the time it takes to send an invoice to the client.

7. Overall we hope it will allow our PAs to be more efficient in their process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kaminsky of EleVia Electronic Invoicing

UPDATE: HI Sandra, We have added these items to our enhancement list after your conversation with consulting 4/8/2021:

3. The inability to hide the Fee Method / Scheduled Billing inside % Complete.

4. Need a clear button in PM review of % Complete.

5. Unable to add percent complete and hit the enter key to advance forward, need to use the tab key. Most naturally hit the enter key.

Hi Sandra, Thank you for taking the time to review EI. I have sent this list to the consulting team to review, as some of your concerns may have been addressed in a different release. If not we can certainly add them as an enhancement request.

The slowness of the grid development has found was due to a recent windows update. Development is working on this issue, once resolved, we will set up a time to schedule your upgrade.

If you have not done so already, please open a support case to track your case. Email: support@eleviasoftware.com

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

Ease of use and the ability for our PMs and OMs to see all the invoices they need to view and approve in one grid. It is easy, efficient and a great tool for getting invoice processing and review/approvals done much faster than we could before we implemented EI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

There is one comments field that is dynamic and opens very wide in the program grid, but they are working on that. And currently it runs on Internet Explorer, which they need to update. They are aware of the need to move it into being more browser agnostic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

It speeds up processing invoices enormously. It is currently not possible to view invoices all together in one grid in either Vision or Vantagepoint. It's very cumbersome for PMs and OMs to keep changing projects and switching from one to another in the Vision or Vantagepoint interface. With EI they can easily review, mark up UnBiled details and easily see whether they've already reviewed a project's invoices.

The flexibility of being able to add custom columns for budget calculations we want to see in the EI grid makes this a very useful tool.

In addition to the standard packaging features, we've worked with Elevia to create custom templates for invoice packaging. That is a real time saver when we are assembling required documentation and invoices to send to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

The Project Grid allows PM's and Billers to know at a glance where all projects are at in the process to aid in a quick and effient review by PM's. Billers can easily see when PM's have finished their review and can finalize invoices with ease. Working with EleVia is easy and they are always there to support you as updates or enhancements are needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

I honestly have no compaints about EleVia and Electronic Invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

PM's appreciate the streamlind review process for all of their projects and the benefit of being able to customize the project grid with summary data is helpful to understand how your project is doing. Invocies are turned around quickly each billing process because of Electronic Invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

We no longer have project folder exchanging going on, which has reduced the possibility of misplacing project folders! Everything is now visible electronically for everyone, and reviewing and approving client invoices are now much easier and more efficient. Our Billing Staff can see which invoices remain outstanding at a glance instead of having to chase down upper management to get them completed. This software has allowed us to reduce our AR DOS by 15-18 days in just over 4-5 months, which has had a tremendous effect on cash flow! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

The e-mail reminder is a great feature, however, we are still navigating the best way to utilize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Far quicker turn-around for people reviewing and approving invoices. As indicated earlier, we have reduced our AR DOS by like 15-18 days, which has resulted in better cash flow overall! Management can better understand their projects financial position at a glance which they have appreciated tremendously! Our clients appreciate how the invoices look and how quickly we are getting them in their hands now. We have even received compliments from some of them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kaminsky of EleVia Electronic Invoicing

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review EI, and we are happy this is a huge time saver for your organization.

You should contact support or your consultant to help with best practices for the email reminders, maybe provide some customization for you as well.

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

Being able to track the stages of each invoice and using the tools for creating the invoice package, which can be emailed directly from the system to clients. I also like the automated email notifications that prompt each user they have an action to take. I also appreciate all the ways to filter the page, download, and customize for your own use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

There isn't a good way for the reviewer and approver to move the invoice to and from each other if needed. The flow is one way and not back and forth, which makes sense but there are times when the approver wants the reviewer to make a change and it needs to flow through the biller and then back out again. Also, finalizing the invoice is still done outside of the module and everything is not all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking whose queue the invoice is in at all times

The email re-notifications are helpful so we don't have to manually keep track of reminders

The project financial information is helpful and viewable A/P and expense backup is definitely a plus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kaminsky of EleVia Electronic Invoicing

Hi Stacey, Thank you for taking the time to review EI. Actually, there is a way to send invoices back and forth with a stage change. We also have parallel approvals where multiple reviewers/approvers can see the invoice PDF at the same time. You should contact support to review your options.

That is correct, invoices are still created in your main Vision/Vantagepoint database as that is where your financial information is captured. EI is a tool that reads from your database and provides a one-stop view for pertinent data to approve and review invoices, ( JTD details, and other information as opposed to running multiple reports in Vision / Vantagepoint.

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

We were able to customize the columns, stages, workflows. It allowed us to fit the software to our ideal process rather than the other way around. Additionally, the software consolidates all of the necessary information in one place rather than having to review several different reports during the billing process. We also love the Final Packaging capabilities as it makes it easy to adjust what information a client receives at the click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

I wish that there were more options for what PDFs are viewable within the product. It would also be helpful if the Create Email were able to email more than one contact; while we can edit the email it requires us to track who invoices go to in a spreadsheet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering EleVia Electronic Invoicing:

Be sure to have a plan of what you want the process to look like and what information you'd like to have available. The product is built around your process and is easiest to do in the beginning rather than adjusting on the fly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Electronic Invoicing our process for invoicing was extremely manual - it encompassed printing, scanning, using BlueBeam to mark up invoices, etc. Additionally, Electronic Invocing give the PMs/PICs greater visibility into the projects and consolidates lots of information into a customizable dashboard. Additionally, the product has make it very simple to create and modify final invoices and packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kaminsky of EleVia Electronic Invoicing

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review EI.

You can email more than one contact, we just need to set up the packaging parameter to send Batch EMails. Not sure what version of EI you are running and you may need to upgrade for this feature. Please contact support@eleviasoftware.com to open a case. We can work wtih you on the batch email feature

Thank you !

We are able to get Invoicing our to our clients faster. As the operations Accounting Manager I am able to see what stage invoices are in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very slow to load information to view.

Small quirky items happen that are hard to resolve. Example: Some of our Final Invoices are going to the Draft folder. it is time consuming to reach out and get resolution.

I wish there was a way to have a delete previous version if you create a new package for the invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like being able to see the Unbilled Detail report and the being able to configure the multiple tiers of reviewers and approvers for our Billing process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

We would like to send out the first draft to multiple people or a group of people instead of only one person. We would also like to have more control at the task leve of the invoices so that we could send parts of the invoice based on task to individuals that are in charge of the org assigned to that task.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have the flexibility for multiple people to review and attach additional documentation for our administrative staff to use as backup documentation for the final invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

Electronic Invoiving helps keep everything organized and on track. The result of migrating from our old paper based system to EI has resulted in time savings, paper savings, and most importantly, a reduction in WIP days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

There isn't much to dislike about Electronic Invoicing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EleVia Electronic Invoicing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Under our old paper based systems, PMs would often misplace their invoicing documents which caused delays and rework. Documents can never get lost with EI and it is easy to track the status of any invoice at any time. We've also saved significant amounts of paper and space by migrating to this paperless system. The biggest benefit is our WIP days have dropped from 30 days to the teens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Angela Kaminsky of EleVia Electronic Invoicing

Thank you for your review! We are happy that EI is reducing your WIP and keeping your billing running smoothly!

What do you like best about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

Easy to share with PM's or Principals for invoice review. Most items can be found in one place, it is nice to be able to look back at older invocing. Links work great to see what is currently or previously billed or tagged to a Project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EleVia Electronic Invoicing?

Product does not always interact correctly with Deltek. Projects that are a percentage of construction billing parameters are very difficult to update. I have to keep checking for invoice approval updates, I do not get a progress report. It has been very hard to reach support during the Pandemic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
