What do you like best about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?

I love that Chrome River takes the paper shuffle of our expense reimbursement process out of the equation. It's completely electronic from start to finish. Approvals flow through e-mail and are super-easy (just click the green "Accept" button!) for our attorneys and staff. This has ultimately shortened the time from expense report entry to reimbursement, resulting in happier employees.

Also, automated routing ensures that all appropriate approvals for the particular expense amount or type are obtained. It's a very sleek, sophisticated, yet simple to use system. I would recommend it to any organization looking to improve their expense reimbursement experience!

Chrome River offers regular regional meetings to update their customers of new features, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)?

Reporting is not the greatest. We don't use it a lot, but sometimes feels a bit "clunky" when we use the predefined reports (sometimes the reporting module simply doesn't open and you have to try again later). Ad hoc reports seem confusing to set up, without taking a lot of time learning how to use them. This is not a huge hindrance for us, though.

Update: Chrome River has made great strides in reporting capabilities. Unfortunately, the really "meaty" reports are only available at an additional monthly cost. However, I do find I can usually easily create the reports I need to meet my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easier visibility into pending expense reports (who is holding up the reimbursement?), paperless environment (no more expense reports milling around the firm, with potential for getting lost), all approvals ensured (no more "sending them back" for additional approvals because they weren't obtained the first time). We also have the ability to edit our routing rules ourselves, which is a plus if we have a simple change to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Lurie of Emburse Expense Enterprise (formerly Chrome River Expense)

Hi Karen, thanks for sharing your feedback, it's great to hear that you've had a five-star experience! In regards to reporting, we are always looking for ways to improve and enhance these features. Our Standard Reports are designed to be easy and intuitive to use for the majority of our user-base; while our AdHoc Reports are more advanced and may require some additional training. We do offer digital webinars and other online training courses on AdHoc Reporting, and your customer success manager is always available to assist as well. Please reach out if we can help out at all!

Thanks again,

Rachel

What do you like best about Emburse Invoice Enterprise?

Automated approval routing and completely paperless. Also love the e-invoice feature for invoices with many lines to allocate. Capture is also new for us - with this service, our vendors can e-mail their invoices to our dedicated Chrome River Capture e-mail address where the invoices are automatically uploaded and OCR'd (and reviewed by a "human") which minimizes our data entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Emburse Invoice Enterprise?

Service desk tends to be slow. What used to take 1 week or less now takes 2 to 3 weeks minimum. OCR still needs a lot of improvement. I am getting a bit impatient because of how long it is taking for Emburse to improve OCR. Additionally, customers are encouraged to pay for service that used to be standard with their subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Emburse Invoice Enterprise:

Chrome River is a rapidly growing company. They are very responsive when they get the same feedback from multiple customers. However, they are slow on a day to day basis when we need our routing rules modified. It takes 2-3 weeks to make a change, where it used to only take about one week or less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Emburse Invoice Enterprise solving and how is that benefiting you?

Paper invoices used to get lost or held up on someone's desk. Now the secretary or staff person scans the invoice into Chrome River (or better yet - the vendor e-mails the invoice and the invoice is "dragged and dropped" into Chrome River). Approvals are easy via e-mail. And our vendors are paid more timely! Chrome River also offers an OCR feature where elements from the invoice are optically extracted, which cuts down on data entry significantly.

Also, we were able to reduce our accounting staff by not replacing those departing the firm shortly after implementing Chrome River's Invoice product. We were able to move to a more decentralized approach where everyone in the firm that receives vendor invoices is ultimately responsible for getting them entered into Chrome River. Because Chrome River is so easy to use, that was not a difficult undertaking in the last. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
