### "Emburse Invoice Top Notch"

October 2, 2022

5.0

Overall our firm has had a phenomenal experience with Emburse invoicing.

Pros

Emburse invoice software gives our firm full visibility and complete approval and control over all vendor invoices processed through our AP team.

Cons

Emburse invoice has great remote apps that we have started to use and would like to see full visibility into all invoices entered into the system.

Concur didn’t offer both invoice and expense and Emburse has and it’s been a great change.

### "Reliable, Efficient, and Easy to Use"

April 2, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with Emburse Invoice Enterprise has been very positive. The platform streamlines invoice intake, routing, and approval in a way that reduces errors and saves meaningful time. It’s dependable, user-friendly, and well-suited for organizations that need both efficiency and strong financial controls. The transparency in workflows and the strength of the audit trail have been especially valuable, supporting smooth and consistent day‑to‑day operations.

Pros

I appreciate how intuitive and easy to navigate Emburse Invoice Enterprise is, even when handling complex invoice workflows. The automation features significantly reduce manual effort and improve accuracy, and the system integrates smoothly with other platforms. Approvals move quickly with clear visibility, and the reporting and audit trails make compliance and review processes much more efficient.

Cons

The main drawbacks I’ve experienced are that some configuration options feel limited without admin-level access, and larger invoice batches can occasionally take longer to load. A few UI elements could also benefit from additional customization to better align with internal processes, but these issues are relatively minor compared to the overall functionality.

### "Chrome River - a must have app to improve your expense and invoice submissions"

March 9, 2021

3.0

Overall, Chrome River has been a success in our firm. It greatly improved our system for receiving invoice and expense reports. Those submitting can keep track and accounting department have a window of what's coming. There are many reports that I encourage you to explore.

Pros

Prior to Chrome River, we were still printing expense reports and invoices. Paper was sent via inter-office courier and we had all the issues you would expect - lost submissions, late submissions, missing approvals, etc. Moving to Chrome River has substantially improved this process.

Cons

Training in Chrome River is a lot - the tax section can be a lot for end users. After a few times, it does get a lot easier. I would recommend a lot of support during the first year. You don't want your end users to get frustrated. My only big criticism is the scrolling on the expense report pages. I think button placement and customizations could improve.

### "Great product"

May 26, 2021

5.0

Pros

This product saved us during Covid. There was no disruption of approving and paying invoices as it was all done through Chrome River and no paper or signatures were required. We also have seen a tremendous reduction in paper and work. We've gone from 11 filing drawers to 2 and 75% reduction in AP data entry tasks.

Cons

Nothing. It has worked very well for us.

### "Dynamic and Robust P2P Platofrm"

November 24, 2021

4.0

Pros

During our discovery phase for a new P2P system, Chrome River was one of the few that we found to have an extremely dynamic and robust workflow engine that would meet our organization's needs. The ability to build unique/custom workflows on virtually any of the fields within the system, as well as add as many user-defined fields that we want/need for a cloud-based platform, was big a win for my team.

Cons

wish there were better integrations/applications between the expense management platform with the Emburse Card program and the PO/Invoice modules. It would be nice to (1) issue a PO, (2) receive an invoice, and (3) pay with the Emburse card through the system without doubling the workflow approval fro both an invoice and a credit card expense.

### "Great software and only getting better"

March 21, 2022

5.0

CR Invoice has allowed us to house our Invoice/PO processes into one system with a great approval flow system. This has allowed us to save a lot of time and energy with tracking PO's and Invoices through the whole process from creation to approval.

Pros

The OCR feature, and ability to setup approval flows.

Cons

We have had a lot of issues with correctly exporting information out of Chrome River into our other financial software.

### "Powerful, Simple Invoice Processing"

April 8, 2022

5.0

Chrome River INVOICE has fully automated our accounts payable process and allowed invoice handling to take place anywhere, any time.

Pros

Chrome River's OCR engine is very accurate, and handles nearly all of the tedious detail relating to invoice intake. The customized routing/approval rules allow invoices to be routed quickly and approved from desktop or mobile devices, resulting in quick turnaround and transparent status reporting.

Cons

The initial setup of business rules for routing and approval was complex, but once set up has been very effective and required little ongoing maintenance.

### "Paperless and efficient with automated approval routing"

August 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

Chrome River invoice makes managing AP invoices easy. Users around the firm submit their invoices themselves using Chrome River which has taken our AP department to a new level (not much data entry). The application automatically routes from one approver to the next, and it's relatively easy to make changes to our routing setups (and we can easily shift approval responsibilities from one person to another as necessary).

Cons

There is not much I don't like about Chrome River Invoice

### "Chrome River Invoice is Solid Overall"

November 24, 2021

5.0

Emburse Chrome River stays with the latest technology. The application put us in a great position when the pandemic hit and everyone started working from home. The geographic ease of use across our offices is something huge, and integration to core accounting is critical. It can make a small AP team feel much bigger.

Pros

The interface is easy to use for new and tenured associates alike. Training is fairly simple. Chrome River is highly accessible and available from any internet enabled device, which allows us to work and function across many dispersed offices. The integration with our core accounting system is critical. Emburse also stays ahead with technology to further automate and ease the workflow for humans.

Cons

The integration was where I was most involved, and took a bit of time. I would advise allowing many months for development and testing. The Chrome River integrations team did all of the coding to send us the data in the format we needed, but it took many iterations of effort and feedback to finally get it right. Once we did though, it's fantastic. Just allow plenty of time to test and set up, and keep logic as simple as possible.

### " Piattaforma di gestione delle spese aziendali essenziale"

October 6, 2023

5.0

In conclusione, Emburse Chrome River INVOICE è una soluzione di gestione delle fatture all'avanguardia che offre una notevole facilità d'uso, un'automatizzazione avanzata e una sicurezza robusta.

Pros

Una delle prime cose che ho notato è stata l'interfaccia intuitiva e user-friendly di Chrome River INVOICE. La navigazione è semplice e le funzionalità sono disposte in modo logico, il che rende l'apprendimento del sistema un processo agevole. Ho apprezzato particolarmente le integrazioni offerte da Chrome River INVOICE. Si integra facilmente con altre applicazioni aziendali, migliorando così l'efficienza e garantendo la coerenza dei dati. Tuttavia, alcune integrazioni potrebbero essere migliorate per offrire una maggiore flessibilità.

Cons

Mentre la qualità del servizio è eccezionale, il costo potrebbe essere un po' elevato per alcune piccole imprese. Tuttavia, considerando le sue funzionalità avanzate e l'efficienza che offre, potrebbe ancora rappresentare un buon investimento per molte aziende.

### "Good product for Invoice Approval"

May 23, 2022

4.0

Pros

\- We've decreased our paper usage dramatically as approvals and forms are all electronic. - AP team have more time to do more analytical work (previously data entering invoices), since everyone in the firm can now enter it themselves - Can customise approval workflows easy - Can track invoices more easily, from the end user's view and from AP's view.

Cons

\- Training staff on how to use CR Invoice was difficult in particular the tax section, as not many end users have to deal with it regularly. - Getting the set up on complex business rules and approvals was difficult in the beginning - Ad hoc reporting / analytics is not the most user friendly interface to deal with - Customer service is a hit and miss at times. Requesting for changes, information on errors, took a while for a response. Sometimes when a fix is in place, may have changed something else in the system that will cause an error elsewhere. - OCR for Invoice isn't accurate and doesn't seem to learn when adding similar invoices.

### "Gain Efficiencies with Chrome River INVOICE"

May 28, 2021

4.0

Chrome River INOVICE electronic routings help us with the paper chase that was happening as items passed from office to office. NOTE: We use Chrome River INOVICE for our Non-PO payments.

Pros

Electronic approvals and processing help eliminate the need for paper being "pushed" from one office to another.

Cons

User's cannot see Invoices created by others. User's cannot delete Invoices that have been returned.

Reason for choosing Emburse Invoice Enterprise

Best value for our needs.

### "Robust Expense and Invoice Management"

February 22, 2017

5.0

Chrome River offers a slick modern user interface with a robust rules engine that can allow from simple to very intricate and complicated routing and approvals. The application is constantly being updated and they take customer feedback as part of building out the applications roadmap. The integration with other systems is pretty seamless as well being able to connect to your accounting system through a series of feeds (which you can automate) and they even have the ability to connect to credit cards for pulling in expenses directly. The application comes with a ton of useful standard reporting options but they do have room for improvement with their ad hoc reporting platform.

Pros

Integration with accounting systems, audit trail tracking, snap and send receipts for expenses.

Cons

Ad hoc reporting is in need of some improvement.

### "Efficient and Thorough Product"

May 27, 2021

5.0

We use this product daily. Every invoice that our firm pays now runs directly through INVOICE. Their OCR technology is fantastic, with likely a 95% accuracy rate. The amount of time that this product has saved our accounting and AP team is immense.

Pros

This product allowed us to go completely paperless. This ended up being a lifesaver when the pandemic hit. Everything runs efficiently and integrates well into our Accounting Software.

Cons

Implementation took a bit longer than expected, but it still went smoothly.

### "Great invoice management program"

May 26, 2021

5.0

This has enabled us to streamline our invoice processing and saved both resource time in routing paper invoices around our organization but also more consistency when coding and approving invoices.

Pros

I like the ease of use when processing invoices using both the image capture method or by using prior invoices as templates.

Cons

The interface can be a bit of a challenge when you first start to use the application but you quickly become accustomed to the layout and functionality.

### "Amazing Change"

September 5, 2019

5.0

We are solving issues like double payments, over payments. We are also issuing reimbursements to staff quicker.

Pros

What I most like about this software is the easiness to use. It is not difficult at all, very user friendly.

Cons

There is nothing that I do not like about this software, it is very self explanatory when using both invoice and expenses.

Reason for choosing Emburse Invoice Enterprise

The user friendly of this product was the best for our agency. We have many staff that are mobile so it is extremely easy for them to use on the go.

### "The product itself is great and helps tremendously with invoice and expense reimbursement workflow."

May 15, 2017

4.0

Pros

The paperless environment Chrome provides is fabulous! The electronic movement of invoices and expense reimbursements through the approval process has greatly increased the efficiency of our workflow.

Cons

The help desk support. Customizations sometimes take way too long to implement. In addition, approval routing rule changes made sometimes screw up prior changes without our knowledge until it is found through the user experience.

June 1, 2021

5.0

Pros

Makes invoice processing transparent, all involved can see where the invoice is at in the process at any time. It also allows submitters access to payment data instead of having to reach out to Accounting for the information.

Cons

Customization of the product has been a hurdle as we have had to find ways to make our operation fit within the software.

### "Processing Invoices & Expenses Made Easy"

January 11, 2017

5.0

Before going live with ChromeRiver we used a home grown workflow that was at best buggy and at worst difficult to maintain. Since moving to ChromeRiver the process of submitting and reviewing both invoices and expenses is easy and seamless.

Pros

Web based, SaaS, reliable, intuitive interface.

Cons

I would prefer that the iOS integration with OneLogin for Single Sign On be more straightforward.

### "Invoice and Expense Automation at it's Finest"

March 2, 2017

4.0

The time and resources involved in the implementation and training on Chrome River Invoice and Expense was well worth it. The representative was extremely aggressive in implementing two major changes in such a small window. Our project manager was fully aware of this and was still able to cater to our needs. Since Chrome River has gone live, we have been able to streamline our Invoice and Expense process with a paperless, and automated solution that benefits the Finance organization and our business partners. I would highly recommend Chrome River to any organization looking to fully automate their current processes. Our project manager was extremely knowledgeable of the Chrome River product and quickly understood the representative need for an automated system. Working with our project manager and the Help Desk, we were able to make certain rules group exceptions that tailor to our company. The process in many ways was seamless. Chrome River has been able to create a system that would meet our needs and work for us as a firm. Generally, Chrome River was well received. Especially by our overhead departments. The challenge for us was training our branch office employees. It took a few months for users in the field to be comfortable working with the system.
