Synergize Works Well, but Support is OUTSTANDING!!
Very capable, very responsive company that will partner with you and do what it takes to provide automation for your document handling needs. Highly recommended!
PROSWe use Synergize to capture, organize and store our volumes of transportation documents. The folks at Microdea created and implemented a solution that was customized to our unique needs, and it normally works flawlessly. When there are hiccups (usually due to external issues beyond their control) Microdea always resolves same-day, and often same-hour. We deal with many vendors, and without a doubt, Microdea delivers some of the best, if not THE best customer service.
CONSWe are very happy with the software, and have no complaints. We did have some difficulty using their document viewer ("Synergize Viewer") over our RDS environment using certain hardware. There was a rendering issue that we could not fix and we eventually had to purchase new equipment in order to properly use the viewer.

Frustrating Implementation
The overall experience has been poor. We have been in the implementation phase with Synergize for almost 3 years. During this time the implementer has been directly responsible for 3 system outages outside of Synergize. We are nearing the end and hopeful to have a working product soon.
PROSWe like the idea of being able to scan in documents and have them automatically connect to orders with in TMW.
CONSThe setup. Our environment is not a cookie cutter environment. We use published applications through Citrix and this has given the implementer a very hard time.
Vendor Response
Hey David, Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. Although this is not the experience that we want any customer to undergo, your problems will not go unheard and of course is invaluable feedback. Thanks again - The Synergize Team

Synergize for Accounts Payable
We are beginning to realize some of the efficiency gains by using Synergize, especially in the document look up and determining its status area. Our overall experience has been positive. The staff and support are very helpful and new features/functionality can be easily added. My only advice would be to plan your processes in detail up front to save on implementation and process change costs.
PROSIn my opinion, Synergize offers us integration with our multiple platforms and makes our data easily accessible. In particular, we can access an invoice and find out its current status in our payment process, read any notes we have about it and follow up with the appropriate person if needed. It also increases the speed at which we process invoices as it has the ability to automate a portion of our payment process. Lastly, we can also extract data for our internal reports.
CONSAlthough this is a great software, it does require a lot of IT resources up front and some IT ongoing. A lot of this can be alleviated by thoroughly understanding how you want your process to flow during the design phase as the software has many features.
Vendor Response
Thanks for sharing your review, Collin. We're going to continue getting better and your feedback is useful. - The Synergize Team

Very easy to use once configured. Time savings are immense.
Time savings, Peace of Mind and Accuracy
PROSThe thing I like the most about this software is the ease of use for the end user and peace of mind that its done right for management.
CONSThe thing I like the least about this software is that it is somewhat cumbersome to tweak settings or configurations on your own. The staff are really helpful however.
Vendor Response
Hey Ryan, Thank you for the great review. It's sincerely appreciated that an Efficiency Analyst such as yourself had such glowing things to say about the efficiency of Synergize! We're constantly looking to make the self-customization of Synergize better for our customers; although our support team is always more than willing to help, we recognize the value of empowering our customers as well. Keep an eye out in 2019 (and hopefully every year afterwards) for our User Conference where we hope to empower users such as yourself with the information and tools they need to make those custom configurations, and more. Thanks again - The Synergize Team

Excellent Customer Support
We use it primarily for document storage an workflow, both of which it excels in.
PROSSynergize is a great system, made even better by their customer service and support that ensure that when you need them, they are there quickly, consistently, and reliably. Someone asked what I think about it.. I don't think about it. It is one of the packages that I never have to worry about because if my users have issues, support is just a phone or email away.
CONSIn thinking about the over 10 years we have used them, I can't think of anything that I don't like about it. We are fully integrated into their system with our inhouse system and its a great relationship.
Reason for choosing Synergize
Customer service, ease of use, and the recommendation of our peers.

Amazing time saver
Great, we've utilized their system to streamline and speed up the process of handling drivers tickets. It's saved our employees hours and hours of work on a daily basis. Every time I email their support they respond very quickly and are extremely knowledge and have the ability to resolve our issue in a timely manner. We are looking to expand our use of Synergize in other areas of the company, including AP.
PROSIt's ease of use and the ability to customize at a granular level which areas and types of data is collected.
CONSI haven't run into any issues, all of the issues I've ran into were promptly resolved by their support team. Only thing I would add would be the ability to add decimals where one was not present. Note: The system DOES have the ability to change decimals. Such as if the system picks up a comma it can REPLACE it with a period.

Could be better
When its all working smoothly its great, but services turn off often needing a reset and problems sending invoices again
PROSFairly easy to use for customer service viewing documents and indexing.
CONSThe partnership with TruckMate is a struggle, we call for tech support but TM & Synergize don't work together to know each others software so you always have to make a second call. Also there are not enough notes kept on the support files for future reference, we are always having to re-explain how we are set up or what we have it do for us. Frustrating

Review
Synergise has huge potential in our business. Thats why we bought it. It has taken us a long time to start to realise the benefits (our issue not Synergise). We have been a customer for 18 months and the implementation team and project management team are fantastic. They relate to our industry well, therefore the outcomes and workflows make sense.
PROSThe ability to integrate in a bi-directional manner with our third party TMS software.
CONSSometimes difficult to problem solve when the workflow isnt clear. Documentation and explanation of the workflow could be better.

Once we got the software running, we have been very satisfied with its performance. We have learned to adapt to the manner in which we have to create Searchable PDF templates.
PROSIt easily facilitates the processing of large numbers of invoices.
