Link4

Pros: Saved time exporting invoices myself, I received an email to know I had a new invoice so I knew to go into myob & check it

Cons: I had to manually change account codes & values in myob as the invoices came into the wrong account code & I also had to manually change invoice number as we have po number & invoice no the same & can only be a maximum of 8 characters therefore we drop the first digits off invoice not the last to make 8, when invoice comes in through link it drops the last digits which then creates invoice numbers the same

Pros: It was an easy setup and has worked flawlessly since. my invoices arrive daily in xero as they are supposed to

Pros: Nice to use the tool it is user-friendly, Easy to install and configure to my system. I liked it very much

Pros: Invoices are recorded automatically. If the invoice was recorded in the correct format it would be a great system to use.

Cons: I disliked how the invoice was recorded. Most of the details had to be changed. It is easier to record an invoice as your receive it and manually record it.

Pros: That it links easily to our accounting software so I don't have to input so many invoices in our accounting software

Cons: I do have an issue with the software. When I do an invoice for one of our customers Link4 then tells me I have an invoice for the same amount from one of our suppliers and one has nothing to do with the other. Since this has happened I avoid using Link4.

Overall: I do like that we can be linked to our customers and suppliers so it's easier to manage our accounts

Pros: Works Great, Efficient, allows more time to get other tasks done in the office. Easy to use with excellent technical support on hand should any difficulties arise. More companies are signing up to this making it even better.

Cons: There has not been anything I don't like about this software. I had a technical issue and it was resolved promptly.

Overall: Less time entering invoices and more time focusing on other duties.

Pros: this program is easy and user friendly, its saves time and printing expenses for each invoice that has to be entered into out business software

Cons: with this program i don't enter the data, it is directly uploaded to our business software, which i forget about some invoices and payments

Overall: convenient and time saver

Pros: Takes the manual labour, out of bill entry leaving you more time for the things in life that matter.

Cons: Companies that you want to get on board with Link4 to send their bills directly are not always quick to do so. The simple email from Link4 isn't to onboard them.

Pros: Ease to use with xero after initial set up with customer support. In to bills and no issue. Looking forward to engage more suppliers

Cons: Set up was a bit to get around, but great support. Talk me through as a step by step process and managed to set it up. He also called me next day t confirm

Pros: i found the software to be greata as it saved time with data entry on a daily basis. We had our BOC invoices turn up directly in my purchases and i could easily work with them

Cons: to make it beneficial to me i would have liked a copy of the invoice to come straight to xero and be uploaded automatically so i did not manually have to do it

Overall: saved time and money doing repetitive tasks

Pros: It's so detailed, it imports the invoice and sends you a notification email with the invoice number and the job code which is really good for our system.

Cons: None at this stage. We are pretty happy with it. Sometimes we have to go in and manually code the job and category.

Overall: Saves time which saves money.

Pros: The correct account is always used and the time saved by not having to enter purchases manually is so great

Overall: Time saving is huge by not manually entering purchases and purchases going to the right account

Cons: as stated above the software doesn't work at all, invoices either don't load or they just don't get send at all so went back to the old way

Pros: Integration of my sales invoices into client software which reduces my time spent processing manual invoices

Cons: Sometimes pdf integration slow and i have had to check a number of times to ensure integration had happened

Overall: reduction of time spent processing

Pros: Nothing about this product is useful. I would not recommend it to anyone. There is too much room for error in coding. I would prefer to have entered the invoice myself from scratch.

Cons: It does not attach copy of the invoice
It drops into my accounting software and codes it incorrectly so I am having to go through and check and amend everything anyway. If anything it costs me more time and frustration.

Pros: Once I have connected Link4 to my MYOB and allocated accounts there is almost nothing for me to do to get the account paid- just accept the invoice and it is all done for me.

Cons: What is not to like about a system that lets me spend less time paying the company bills- just accept and it is done!

Overall: Time saving! Love it.

Pros: Its connects the suppliers system with ours and we can see the invoice and post them in our books.

Cons: We have never used customer support hence rating given is 3. Same applies for Value for Money. We are using this facility through BOC. Its free as of now.

We do not get the invoices same day. It generally takes two days to receive invoice in the system.

Pros: Refer above
In it is responsible for the new look of invoice & statements than I like that easy to follow.

Cons: Refer above to experience for general idea of how it worked for me.
Lack of info and instructions.
I believe that I was asked to use this for BOC however it wasnt compatible with our accounting program so we continue to have the invoice/statements email as discussed with their account department.

Overall: Dont know enough about it. Sorry

Pros: Removes manual entry and as a result chances of errors too.
It is a time saver as I do not have to enter the invoice, it is automatically there.

Cons: It would great to bring more suppliers on board. This can be life changing product once we have more people or organisations using this software.

Pros: Simplifies the overall process.
Saves users time via automation.
Intuitive to use and not over complicated.

Cons: The initial set up - but that is unavoidable really. The less "clicks" and initial data entry the better, but I understand this will likely decrease over time.

Pros: I think if I had more suppliers that used it it may be useful to get their invoices entered easier.

Cons: It doesnt interact well with myob. I chose the accounts I wanted it linked to but it still selected its own

Pros: easy to use and imports information directly, how to info supplied at sign up is easy to understand.

Cons: there are a limited number of our suppliers available at this point in time and possible future charges.

Pros: I love the simplicity. I have invoices feeding directly into my accounting software (Xero)- all I have to do is reconcile the transaction as all the information is there.

Pros: The auto import so invoices were not missed this meant simple integration into our accounting software.

Cons: The incorrect account details were on the invoice requiring editing where possible or deletion and re creation

Pros: It is quick and easy and imports my invoices from BOC straight into my XERO account. I love the ease of this process.

Overall: Quick & Easy importing of invoices from our supplier.

Pros: Great idea, easy integration into existing accounting packages, and good UI and layout for the overall design.

Cons: Not a great landing page, very bland and did not catch my eye easily. took me a while to work out what it did

Pros: If it worked, it would save me time. It is not time-saving and helpful to be told this when I've taken the time to feedback information to you.

Cons: Why make an offer to trial the software if you haven't ironed out all the issues? I never got an invoice downloaded to my MYOB and when it should have downloaded, it didn't. I just do not have time to work it out with your support team. If it worked as it should, it would be great.

Pros: Receive a email notification when invoice has been uploaded by supplier. This helps a lot so then you only need to check it when you received the email.

Cons: Linking email message was not up to date and therefore was not relevant to set up the linking. Everything now in different places.

Pros: Ease of entry to software/access to program. It took a bit of time for the link between our supplier and the Link4 software to be connected, so used the old method of documentation retrieval.

Overall: None. We could find the documents required from our suppliers website.

Pros: The automation aspects offered are well executed, although not comprehensive in delivery of audit trail documentation beyond reliance that supplier provided an accurate invoice total.

Cons: Lack of line details and having the additional activity of logging into the vendor's portal to download pdf invoice for uploading into accounting software as source reference.

Overall: Early adoption of solutions that will no doubt become more comprehensive in the future.

Pros: It is good that you just transfer the files are transferred directly into Xero so there is no double entering of invoices.

Cons: Sometimes the invoices are not clear in what is purchased or the tax incl and tax excluding is not defined.

Pros: Loads the invoice into Xero for me. Would save time if no double handling required. less typo errors as a result/\.

Cons: Invoice follows at another time. I like to keep invoice with account online. Requires double handling

Overall: accuracy on invoice

Pros: i don't own the software or pay for it i am just using it through another organization for the ease of their invoicing purposes

Overall: Not sure yet but supposed to make things more streamline and easier

Pros: This software has made data entry of invoices very easy. If I know the invoice is due to arrive, I don't have to worry about entering it, just click a few buttons and done. I wish other suppliers would join in.

Cons: Can be slow at times....took nearly a week for the invoices to come through at one point. This is the only negative, which isn't too big a drama.

Pros: I like that you can open it straight up into your accounting software. Also the customer service has been great, they always ring to see if you understand the software & are going okay with it.

Cons: It would be great when you opened it in your accounting software that it automatically saved as an attachment.

Pros: The link 4 software is easy to use and it is great that it synchronises with my xero software without having to imput the invoices.

Overall: not worrying about imputing into my xero software

Pros: Its just technology really and what it can do these days. Entering invoices takes time so this software saves the hassle of this.

Cons: Nothing to report here. Customer service is top notch but i doubt you would need to contact them about anything as its so easy to use.

Overall: Time
