### "Great software for Accounts Payable Routing & Integration with Sage 300"

July 25, 2017

4.0

AP Routing, Image Viewing, Inquiries, Process Streamlining

Pros

This software makes it easy to have a routing tree and approval process for accounts payable to integrate with Sage 300. It also allows for inline image viewing inside sage 300 AP inquiries.

Cons

We do run into some quirks with this software like any other software might, some of the routing breaks if there are too many conditions that the routing rules have to match.

### "Could not do without AP images in our system. Has become a staple with our software."

July 25, 2017

4.0

Having electronic images without having to go to the file room. Especially for prior years where the files are no longer onsite.

Pros

Having all AP images at your fingertips is very convenient and more efficient than rummaging through paper files.

Cons

It would be more beneficial and economical to have the ability to scan all documents related to all modules in Timberscan, with our current version, without having to purchase a new add on.

### "I work in the accounting department. We use TimberScan daily to route invoices and for research."

January 30, 2018

3.0

Pros

It helps keep our office paperless. Also we can track the status/location of approvals and read comments that have been made along the way.

Cons

I like least the inability to delete multiple images at a time. We do not give our PMs the ability to delete images. That means when it gets to me for final review and images need to be deleted I have to do that one at a time. It's very time consuming.

### "TimberScan was a game changer for our company."

January 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

The fact that it is paperless and the "electronic" paper trail. The routing options to make sure that all members of our team are able to review the invoices that are pertinent to them are a huge time saver!

Cons

We have syncing, printing and emailing issues fairly consistently. I wish there were tips and tricks built in to the system for the various users too.

### "This is my first time ever using TimberScan and I have picked it up very quickly. "

July 26, 2017

5.0

When I started my job, my company use to manually copy all the invoices for each job and scan them together in order to bill out. Now we just run the report for each job and pull all the invoices at the same time. Something that use to take a day, now only takes a few hours at most.

Pros

I love easy it is to use. The way it works with Sage 300 CRE is absolutely amazing. I believe the reports are best feature of the program. They allow you to grab all the invoices all at once. TimberScan has afforded my company the ability to become more efficient in accounts payable as well as billing out.

Cons

I think the customer service is amazing but if there is an issue it sometimes take a little while for someone to get back to you.

### "Timberscan has been great!"

July 25, 2017

4.0

Pros

I love the ease in pulling up any historical invoice and the ability to route new invoices for coding.

Cons

It can be a little sluggish to open larger invoices. Would be nice to be able to see which approval workflows have been assigned jobs in a report or screen somewhere, so it is easier to find one that may need to be reassigned to a new workflow.

Love the no paper process. Turn around time with approvals improved 80%

Pros

Sometime slow on coding. Take a long time to get GL codes from Timberline. Not sure why this is but other wise it is great.

### "Great addition to Sage 300"

July 25, 2017

5.0

Automated our AP approval flow

Pros

Very user friendly, even for the not so computer savvy members of our team. The application was easy to set up and is easy to maintain.

Cons

The only thing that we have found so far that could use improvement is the ability to put invoices on hold and have that carry over to Sage.

### "Change management software"

June 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

We use this software for change management in our company, it's quite easy to use and does not require much skill

Cons

It could perform faster but for the tasks I use I cannot complain. It's easy to teach someone the functions.

### "Timberscan has really helped our project managers have more control over their jobs and the costs. "

August 1, 2017

4.0

Pros

I really like that everyone can access the invoices easily and they are being coded correctly. The notes are saved for future reference which I have had to use quite often.

Cons

I really wish there was an affordable app for the project managers that are out in the field the majority of the day.

### "works well and has improved our workflow"

July 31, 2017

5.0

Record Keeping

Pros

importing into our accounting system is simple and efficient; keeping a physical record of payments and the status of what is outstanding/owed.

Cons

The product can be glitchy at times due to the latest software updates but seems to be working better now for most of the associates.

### "We have been using Timberscan for over a year and mostly it has been positive. "

January 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

Using Capture with Timberscan has speeded up entry. Being able to send invoices around the company via email is great and then tracking who has what yet to approve is nice. The AIM feature really helped us go paperless beyond just for AP invoices.

Cons

We have recently encountered a problem using the Auto Attach Checks option, it has caused a lot of double work and I don't feel customer service has been any help in resolving the problem.

September 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ability to scan in invoices and attach them to vendor records keeps us from managing paper copies, and allows quick and easy review of documents.

Feature set isn't very robust, and implementation was a longer process than quoted.

The pros of the software is the ability to drilldown as well as export to excel, and export to PDF with attachments.

July 25, 2017

Ease of routing and approval.

Being able to easily route the invoices for approval and having electronic copies for future references.

### "Timberscan offers customers a convenient way to route, approve and track invoices."

February 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is very user friendly. It helps to streamline the invoicing and approval process. Send helpful reminder to approvers so invoices get processed quickly. Add-on features such as AIM and Core offer other features that help a company be efficient. It is a good value for the money and the support is very helpful. They really care about the customer.

Cons

Not much bad to say. Like any software there were always a few things you wish it could do. And if you find one of those you can submit an enhancement request and the Timberscan team may add the functionality for you.

January 25, 2018

3.0

Ease of use, improved efficiency, reduction of file cabinet use.

Pros

It brings together AP and record retention easily. It makes for easy work for a multi office company.

Cons

Sometimes with Sage updates they do not work together nicely at first, Timberscan should be ahead of the curve on that side.

### "The product made invoice processing so much better than doing it manually."

July 25, 2017

5.0

Time Saving, space saving, ease of research of bills and payments, and great improvement in the turnaround time of invoice processing

Pros

This was so easy to learn and easy to understand. Made it possible to really keep a track on the invoices that were into our company and helped us process faster. Also, enabled us to save so much room due to the elimination of paper storage.

Cons

I have no complaints or criticisms of the software. If any little thing I could pick at would be a little hiccup with editing/adjusting dates on the invoices.

### "Timberscan is a very user friendly software."

July 31, 2017

4.0

Pros

I like that with very little training, anyone can learn how to use TS. I learned in less than a week, and feel confident in being able to teach others how to use it.

Cons

The only dislike that I have is that if I happen to send an invoice to a manager for review, I can't get access to it until they release it.

January 30, 2018

4.0

Pros

I like being able to scan the images and them at my fingertips when I need to look something up or provide information to staff or auditors without having to pull the paper copy.

Cons

The occasional pop up errors that doesn't give me enough information to know why I am getting the error.
