User friendly, quick access to information

I use the software both as a user to do my expense reports and to approve and process the expense reports of other employees and the software is so user-friendly that requires little training to get familiarize with. It is a great tool to track the approval process of the reports and to make reports to see how much is being spent by employees and by departments. The only downside of the software is that it does not provide the total amount being spent in each account, you have to do it manually by downloading the report in excel format and arranging it yourself. Other than that, is a great software if you are looking to go paperless since it gives you the option to upload receipts straight from your phone or computer as an attachment.

PROS

- Easy to use - Paperless option - Able to trace reports and download information to excel

CONS

- Does not give the total per category/account

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback this is much appreciated. As for the total per account, if your profile set-up includes a tab called "Reports" then you should see it in the menu bar, then In the drop down there is a selection for "account summary" and "Category summary" that may provide what you are looking for, Do not hesitate to set up a time for a call at support@advalorem.ca

Nice tool !

- We no longer need to have different excel spreadsheets for each provinces (for different tax rates), and we do not need to update some of the changing tax features, such as large companies. - Reduce paper printed. - Easier approval process - Very good customer services

PROS

- Ability to directly save invoices into the system from a camera - Automatic calculation of mileage - Calculation of taxes according to the applicable rules.

CONS

- The speed of the system; when you click on a tab it takes a few seconds to get to the new page. - The mobile application could be more complete and allow to never need the computer.

Reason for choosing Advataxes

Advatxes is a local supplier and we feel customer support is important.

Vendor Response

Hello Francois, thank you for your response. We're glad you like the Canadian sales tax functionalities as well as the distance calculator, as these are core functionalities of Advataxes to properly claim recoverable taxes and lower the time required to fill out an expense report. As for your other comments we are also working on increasing the speed of certain features.

Good concept, still place for improvement

Good! But definitively place for improvement on user friendliness.

PROS

Scanning of invoice right away. Easy place to store the invoice picture

CONS

Unable to write a title to a scanned invoice for easy usage later on. Unable to forward a pdf invoice received in an email (from an hotel). No app on iPhone so not able to use without Internet access. Not able to start simultaneously two separate expense reports (for example, one for expenses on Company credit card and one for expenses made on personal credits card or else, like traveling kilometer expenses).

Reason for choosing Advataxes

Recommended by Accounting. Only option presented to me. Still better than Excel file...

Vendor Response

Hello Sebastien. thank you for your feedback. We will take your suggestions into consideration as we add new features on a regular basis.

Advataxes Review

Overall the experience is positive. The software does "its job". I hope that the price range will continue to be an affordable one.

PROS

Users' feedback was good, overall users felt that "the software is easy to use". In terms of implementation, it provided great flexibility and required very little adaptation of our current accounting policies and various types of expenditures.

CONS

One feature would be helpful to have is a connection to the banking credit card system, where users can log in to Advataxes and view their outstanding credit card expenses and match the expense with the receipt in real time. This would streamline the process and eliminate the follow up work on missing receipts.

Reason for choosing Advataxes

WE explored 3 options. Each had its own pluses and minuses. Nexonia offered an integration with our accounting system but it did not allow us to test the product which made it hard to envision the process before implementing it across the organization.

Vendor Response

We are pleased you liked the opportunity to try Advataxes for free in the first place. As for the credit card integration, we have been recently doing business with a third party provider (Plaid) that maintains a link with +100 North American banks. We can let you try this new feature for free, however if you keep it there will be a fee. Thank you for your feedback. It's much appreciated.

Great expense software!

I always get my proper reimbursement because of how Advataxes organizes my expenses.

PROS

This software is very user friendly and includes all the options I need. The response from the team whenever I have contacted them is very fast and they fix any issues ro explain to me what is needed.

CONS

I wish the "stay logged in" feature on the app actually worked.

Vendor Response

Ease of use!

Really positive so far, been using it for five years (both the desktop and more recently the smartphone application). The software actually has shown minor improvements over the years but overall it has always been easy to work with.

PROS

The ability to use an application on your smartphone to prepare and submit expense reports for the company is really helpful. You do not need to be close to a scanner for receipts any more or at your desktop/laptop.

CONS

Sometimes the decimal points on the tax portion of the expenses do not work out quite well, from the automatic calculation. You have to play around with the amounts to get the total amount including tax to add up and become the same as the total on the expense receipt.

Vendor Response

Hi John, thank you for your comments. We are happy that you like our new IOS/Android App. When there is a discrepancy between the pre-calculated tax and the tax on an invoice, we find it is easier to edit the tax amount while the "tax included" option is selected.

CONS

When I received an e-mail asking to approve an expense report, it should be great to open the expense report related to the e-mail I received.

The modification of the dates is hard to do and sometimes we need to cancel some entries.

Je l'utilise en tant qu'approbateur final et il est facile d'utilisation .

CONS

Certaines fonctionnalités sont manquantes, comme pouvoir changer le département d'un employé sans devoir l'effacer et en re-créer un autre...il faudrait avoir plus de latitude pour modifier des spécificités chez des utilisateurs ou pour modifier des catégories ex: changer de taux de kilométrage sans avoir à l'effacer et à en re-créer un autre.

Vendor Response

Merci pour le feedback. La fonctionalité de changer le département d'un employé sans le désactiver est en fonction depuis le début de l'année. Allez dans l'onglet "employés" . La fonctionalité de changer le taux de kilométrage pour chaque employé sans désactiver la catégorie sera en fonction cet été.

Generally good, but pricing is a concern going forward

Generally speaking it has been good. But with some of the new changes and associated costs, it is becoming difficult to justify.

PROS

Its most basic functionality works perfectly and very easily.

CONS

I do not like how the software agreement is vague about the process for fee increases. I also do not like how new features are developed and rolled out without consent - especially that they come with significant software costs.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback. We bring new features to address the requirements of the market yet we'll look to implement opt out functionalities

One of the easiest and friendly expense report app I have used. The visual is clean and everything is simple.

PROS

The new feature where you only have to take a picture and all the fields are filled by themselves. You only have to check to realize that the app entered everything right!

CONS

Sometimes, I can't send the report on the mobile app, I need to open my computer to send the report.

Thank you very much for your comments. As for the App submit issue, it could be an internet connectivity issue while sending the report, yet we will look into it.
