What do you like best about Greenshades?

System is very user friendly. After initial training and learning, a maneuvering between screens and information is easy. Also, most information is attainable by more than one path.

Information related to processed payroll is easily reviewed by date, or time frame, or employee. With that search all information is viewable as opposed to searching multiple areas for information.

Initial training on the system was great! One on one service was incomparable to any training I have had previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshades?

No dislikes with the system. It was just more of a personal challenge to learn something new after being on the same (previous) software for many years. Accepted the change and Greenshades made that pleasurable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Due to ease of system processing payroll has become a speedier process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Greenshades?

Greenshades products and Dynamics GP data sync perfectly, without any manual intervention. Our Greenshades products have significantly reduced process time for a number of tasks. Our favorite product is the GreenEmployee pay portal. We were sending paper pay stubs to all our employees prior to launching the GreenEmployee portal. Our HR department was also spending time reprinting pay statements for employees. The GreenEmployee portal allows our employees to have self service access to their pay stubs and tax forms, while reducing the labor and materials costs associated with distributing paper pay stubs. Greenshades customer service is among the best in the GP community. One of the most amazing things is that support is included, and there are no additional charges for troubleshooting issues or providing training on their products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshades?

The only suggestion I have would be to add some type of option to assist employees who have set up two-factor authentication and subsequently changed their phone number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Greenshades:

I would encourage you to demo their products to see if they meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We strive to keep our administrate costs as low as possible. Greenshades has allowed us to do this in many ways. Each of their products contributes to the efficiency of payroll processing and pay stub distribution, as well as tax filing and 401k administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Greenshades?

Ease of use and solutions for my clients using GP payroll. The tax filing and services, employee portals for paystubs, W2 and 1099 filing, etc all provide good solutions. Clients are very happy with ease of use. Greenshades continues to add features making products more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Greenshades?

The benefit solutions causes some grief but so does GP HR and payroll benefits. Benefits can be complicated in the setup anyway so I think Greenshades has worked hard trying to get software to work better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Greenshades:

This will be the simplest part of your payroll/HR implementation of Dynamics GP. You will love it and be very satisfied with the results. I have been happy helping my customers with it for many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having an affordable solution for clients doing tax filing, processing W2s/1099s etc along with many of the HR addins - employee portal for updating info, getting paystubs and W2s is very helpful to having a full solution with any client using Dynamics GP payroll. I highly recommend Greenshades as a solution!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
