Approval Max Review - Amazing Product

Approval Max has saved the organization so much time as well as reduced human resource costs and paper! It has allowed for the procurement system to be paperless.

PROS

Approval max has allowed for workflows to be created in seamless way. It has a connection with Xero and integrates seamlessly with Xero.

CONS

There is absolutely nothing I dislike about the software.

Reason for choosing ApprovalMax

I just found it integrated better than the other softwares with Xero. The organisation is satisfied using Xero and so it was in the market to look for a workflow management system which would from A-Z integrate with Xero.

Purchase Order Management

Overall we are extremely pleased with ApprovalMax and it was easy to implement then we anticipated with people picking it up quite quickly.

PROS

The best things about ApprovalMax is the ability to be to create custom approval workflows and then have them automatically flow into our accounting software. It has streamlined our operations across multiple physical locations.

CONS

I wish that their was previous for excel or other file types. It works very well with PDF but JPG are slow to load.

Value for Money controls

ApprovalMax has been welcomed by all users so far as it simplifies and clarifies the purchase approval purchase and excuses non-finance staff from having to use the finance system to do their jobs. That in turn reinforces our segregation of duties and keeps the auditors happy.

PROS

Easy to implement and interacts seamlessly with XERO

CONS

Inability to accept authorisation by any one of several potential authorisers

An essential add-on for Xero

PROS

We needed an approval workflow that was more advanced than the one provided by Xero, and ApprovalMax does the job very nicely. The ability to define approvers based on various criteria (we mainly use our location and department tracking categories) enables our budget holders to approve spending.

CONS

I believe ApprovalMax is worth the monthly subscription price, but it does seem strange that it costs more than the product which it extends. Then again, I suppose Xero has many more subscribers.

Streamlines a difficult process

Very impressed with almost-instant, personal customer service.

PROS

This software automates approval processes for accounts payable. I have used this in a volunteer association, saving time for volunteers and valuable paid administration time for staff. Volunteers can view and approve invoices for payment without needing to pop in to the office.

CONS

Need some slight adjustments to workflows, but the approval max team are working on these and communicate updates regularly.

ApprovalMax Review

PROS

It's a great platform for expenses approvals, where a manager can review and finance can have full control over expenses.

CONS

Nothing. Everything is great. It's easy to figure out how to submit an expense for approval.
