Christopher L
Controller
4.0

Chris: Hi, I'm Chris, a controller of a real estate company invested in marinas. Stampli is a four star out of five. We were using Sage Paperless Construction and its corresponding cloud application ePortal for invoice approvals. However, that didn't work out for us as much as we wanted to because it was not a native Cloud application, whereas Stampli is a native cloud application. We chose Stampli because it was recommended by Intact and it was a preferred provider in the Intact marketplace. It also advertised cutting edge AI in its invoice approvals and processing. So we thought it was a great candidate for our company. Getting started with Stampli was pretty straightforward, going through demos with a sales team and then having a very short timeline with the actual implementation team with Stampli. The software itself is pretty straightforward and user-friendly to use. I think the most important thing for someone to understand while implementing Stampli is to think about how they want to use the software because it's a very robust and powerful software and can be configured to be customized to a business's needs in many ways. So understanding how you want your invoice approvals to work is really important so that you can communicate that with the Stampli implementation team.
