Experience the power of Lightyear's intelligent automation platform for large SMEs & Enterprise-level Purchasing & Accounts Payables. Achieve rapid approvals, saving over 80% of costs and time.
Great product, terrific price. I would highly recommend the product to anyone looking for this type of software.
Customer service is terrible. If you have problems you will need to wait at least a day or two after making an online appointment.
I love the ability for managers to view and approve payments online. Faster, easier, and more organized than submitting paper invoices for approval (and better for the environment!).
The support is terrible. Answers are basically "ya, you can't do that.
Its automation of financial tasks, robust reporting capabilities and integration with popular accounting software has greatly improved our financial processes.
My experience has me looking at the competitors as they seem to be struggling to keep this company together.
I love the ease of using and setting up this system to ensure timely payments for myself from other sponsors and companies.
I have found multiple invoices matched to the wrong vendors and how to find these is a nightmare.
Mostly it is a very good software. It does save a huge amount of processing time, identifies duplicate invoice numbers, streamlines and smoothens the approval system.
I find it annoying that I have to set up a supplier in Xero, raise a test bill, then pull that back into Lightyear to set up a supplier in Lightyear.
Great value for money, time saving, user friendly, outstanding customer service, provides everything you need to process creditors invoices.
No such other tool available in the market that is near close to the lightyear performance.
The implementation of the system was easy with excellent support from the team. It is very user friendly, all approvers have started using it without additional training as it is so straightforward.
Theres is not anything that i don’t like about Lightyear.
Lightyear provide fantastic support, with investment in comprehensive system training, onboarding and seamless accounts system integration even before you have committed to buy.
Lightyear do add features from time to time, but I'm not sure if consumer recommendations are actually involved in the process.
Thomas Z.: Hi, my name is Tommy. I am a controller at Hall. We are in the transportation industry. We started out staffing CDL truck drivers. We had hundreds of drivers and now we're getting more into the software space. Right now, we've got about eight employees, and I give BILL a five out five. So I've used MineralTree in the past. It's very clunky. It's a bit more expensive and more archaic. It wasn't as simple to set up as BILL has been. BILL has seamless integrations to our QuickBooks Online that makes paying bills and sending out invoices extremely easy. Integrating BILL to our company and QuickBooks and our other softwares took 30 minutes. It was really easy, a step-by-step guide, and we were able to knock it out with a small team. Recommendations that I'd have for BILL is just understand all the capabilities that it has. You might be looking at BILL just to pay your bills in your AP department, but check it out for sending out invoices or even having your contractors send you invoices to make it easier for them.
Yasmin M.: Hi, my name's Yasmin. I'm a operations manager. I give Lightyear five out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. So we have researched and looked into probably about half a dozen other similar products on the market similar to Lightyear. And we have tested those, and we did use those for a short period of time, but we found that nothing was able to match Lightyear's ease of use and usability for our clients and for us. And the integrations were also unparalleled. So that's why we start up with Lightyear. The which as Lightyear due to its user-friendly interface, its flexibility for mapping invoices and additional functionality, and everybody just loves using the system. It integrates to a lot of other the platforms. And for us, it covers all of our needs for invoice processing, and supplier reconciliations, and it's just a really good accounts payable software. So onboarding with Lightyear, for us, it was a very straightforward process. We had some training and understood how it all worked. We actually manage thousands of hospitality venues, accounting, and bookkeeping across Australia and New Zealand. So we actually onboard individual clients onto Lightyear as well. So we manage that process for them, and it's very simple and straightforward. The integrations are also very easy to set up. You can just literally click and point to what it is that you're integrating, and it all works seamlessly. So for anybody who's looking at Lightyear as a potential accounts payable solution, we highly recommend it. And reaching out the Lightyear team directly is what the best next step would be. They're very helpful and they will help you to understand the system, and understand the functionality and usability, but we definitely think it's unparalleled in the market. It's the best accounts payable solution out there, and it will definitely help automate your processes in your business currently.
