Chelsea L.: My name is Chelsea, and I'm the HR Inclusion and Experience Partner and I rate Sage Intacct to three out of five. Please click below for more information. So I use Sage Intacct at our company for purchase requisitions. So on a day-to-day basis, we basically put in information based on the budget needs. And then we let our payroll and finance team know what our team is and our departments are doing, what kind of budgets and money we need to be approved for. And they're categorized by the different budgets that we have in place. One of the great things I like about Sage Intacct is a lot of options. So you can search in many different ways. You can copy over your purchase requisitions without starting from scratch. You can view what you've had over a very long period of time. So you can compare, maybe backtrack if you need. And there's a lot of different columns and categories that you can actually filter your information by. So that makes it easier in a sense to make sure you're really tagging the right budget. You're really putting the requisitions in the right categories, so that you can find the money that you need and make sure it gets tagged into the correct aspects of the budget. Some of the things that are a bit problematic about Sage Intacct, I would say is also a double edge sword. Even though you can categorize your budget by a lot of different types of information, that's also a problem, because it can get really confusing for people if you don't use it on a daily basis, maybe someone who's training for the first time, only uses it once a month to put in a purchase requisition. It can be a little bit hard for them to find all the different categories and know what they mean. On the other hand, there's also errors often and the errors can push through. So when you put a purchase requisition through and maybe the budget category is warning you that there might be issues with it, but you can go ahead and push it through. So I have mix feelings about that. I'm not on the finance team, so I can't speak from them how they feel when they receive it. But on my side of things, seeing that I can actually still push them through. I'm not sure how that affects the finance team when they do the budgets.

Laurie R.: Hi, I'm Laurie, a nurse practitioner, and I give Shoeboxed a score of five out of five. For more reviews, like this, click below. Before I found Shoeboxed, oh my gosh, I was literally cramming all of my receipts in my wallet, in my purse, in my car, in drawers. Then I came upon this great app, Shoeboxed. Oh my gosh, it changed my world. I can snap a pic of the receipt. I've got it. If I need it for future use or for a reference, it's right there on the Shoeboxed app. It simplified my life instantly. I was looking for something to help really organize my receipts. It comes tax time. You're looking for them. You need to make a return. You need to turn in a receipt for business. You're searching everywhere. And the Shoeboxed app really simplified that because as soon as I check out of the store, scan something, I can just scan it on my phone into the Shoeboxed app. I don't have to worry. It's there. It's safe. It's secure. And I am not having stacks of papers that I have to go through when I, again, need to turn in a receipt to work, when I need to turn in a receipt to the taxman, or anything. I'm not struggling, and I have reduced the clutter of all of these receipts that just pile up. Shoeboxed is really simple to integrate into your business. Simply download the app and really just create your account, and off you go. You could use it for different... If you have like a large office, certainly you have other employees that can use it as well. I have a small business, so for me, it's just myself. But it's applicable to different sizes of businesses. And that's also the great perk about it. Your employees are not having to worry about keeping up with receipts, sending them in to you, and then them piling up and wondering, "Did I turn that receipt in or not?" You've got a record of it. If you're thinking about ways to really organize your office, your employees, your life, I really recommend taking a look into the Shoeboxed app. It's perfect for any size of business, be it a small business or a large business. They have different options there. It just is really going to make your workday happier and make your employees happier keeping up with it that way.
