Great Software to Streamline your Accounts Payable Process
Comentários: I find Lightyear easy to use and I have only had positive feedback from clients.
Vantagens:
I love the automation of data extraction and the built in approval process Lightyear has to offer. It helps me to get my clients data correct, having the correct expenses and payables, and it means I can get multiple levels of approvals before the invoice hits the GL.
Desvantagens:
Sometimes the OCR doesn't work the way I expect, but I know they are constantly improving the software and I'm confident it will be better in future.
Lightyear has made my working life much easier
Comentários: Dealing with Lightyear and their staff is an amazing experience. The programs works well and the support staff are fantastic
Vantagens:
Lightyear simplifies data entry of our invoices by saving us a massive amount of time and paper
Desvantagens:
When we export invoices into a csv file to upload into our accounting package, some of the invoices in the csv file do not match the value of the invoice in Lightyear. It's usually only a few cents but I need to cross check every invoice each time I export all csv files against Lightyear.
AP via LY and integration to MYOB
Vantagens:
Mapping allows automated billing preparation which saves time. Duplicates are traceable in high volume bill runs. Processing times are reduced and less paperwork.
Desvantagens:
Can be a slow connection on the odd occasion.
Lightyear as Approval and Processing Accounts Payable
Comentários: 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. The Manage Suppliers function helps auto G/L coding to eliminate any inconsistencies and human errors.
Vantagens:
Taken a huge load in processing time of the supplier invoices, it can streamline the processes, identify duplicate invoices and eliminates any human errors. It is also well integrated with Xero.
Desvantagens:
Getting the right mapping for some suppliers due to their invoice formats can sometimes be challenging and ongoing. Credit notes can at times be problematic as the reference in the credit notes can cause confusion in the processing (due to formats), they can be processed as the original invoices again rather than credit notes.
Best software
Comentários: Exceptional, the best software that I have worked with over the years.
Vantagens:
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. Processing invoices with Lightyear is super easy and using the system finally allowed us to go totally paperless.
Desvantagens:
There is no downside of the system, I cannot mention anything negative about it.
Great service
Vantagens:
“Great experience with Lightyear so far, extremely helpful software that saved me heaps of time and paper. Very user friendly and easy to communicate with the rest of out team. Support is very knowledgeable and quick in reply. Highly recommended to all business.”
Desvantagens:
“There is not downside with the software. Surely there will constant updates and look forward for it”
Lightyear Service Support
Comentários: Fairly easy to use, quite easy to navigate they system and pull of reports. If I need extra I have the wonderful support team to help, which so far the questions I've asked they have been able to fulfil my needs
Vantagens:
It's ease of use and flexibility in being able to move approvals
Desvantagens:
In Dashboard, looking at the user list, it would be great if you could click on the user name and get a list of their approvals
Lightyear Review
Vantagens:
Amazing support by our excellent man [sensitive content hidden]. Allows me to communicate to the staff members and more importantly to the suppliers. It also integrates very well with our POS and most importantly within my role is how it eliminates the data entry and sign them off straight to Xero.
Lightyear is Great
Vantagens:
Lightyear allows for excellent reporting and intelligence
Desvantagens:
The delay in mapping new suppliers, although there is an option to speedily approve.
Lightyear made procure to pay accessible to SME without the cost of ERP
Comentários: Very quick and easy to implement and integrate to myob
Vantagens:
Time saving Store Invoicing Approval workflow
Desvantagens:
Bulk PO process will need improved. 3 way match is bit tedious

Amazing tool to process accounts payables
Vantagens:
Great value for money, time saving, user friendly, outstanding customer service, provides everything you need to process creditors invoices
Desvantagens:
I have never had a bad experience with Lightyear. Whenever something doesn't work (which barely happens), their team is always very responsive and the problem gets solved super quickly
Could not operate the Hotel venues without Lightyear
Vantagens:
From Invoice mapping to statement reconciliation, it remains the best system I have used. Missing invoices are easily located by the auto -mailing system to Suppliers.
Desvantagens:
Any problems that I have encountered have been handled by the Support team (or just the chat service ) so I do not have any issues.
Good software
Vantagens:
- Good software. Easy to use. - Great support team. - onboarding consultant was amazing.
Desvantagens:
- in some instances, the rules are too rigid. - it will be good to have a little bit of flexibility with some of the rules which should help solve a lot of things especially for supplier who currently don't have a professional way of running their business.
Quick and Easy
Vantagens:
Easy to use and understand one touch payables
Desvantagens:
Does not integrate to cooking the books Would be good to have multiple accounts emails attached
Fantastic
Comentários: Time Saver
Vantagens:
Invoice Processing- Easy Use Easy to understand the features.Easy invoice MappingGreat Team members Support
Desvantagens:
There is nothing that I like least about Lightyear.
Great software, saves us massive amounts of time for a low cost!
Comentários: Everything has been so simple and straight forward. From initial discussion, to set-up and going live the support has been incredible and really made the difference. A couple of weeks into going live with the system, and it works exactly as promised and is saving us huge amounts of time!
Vantagens:
Very easy to use. The automatic reading and processing of invoices works almost flawlessly, unlike others I have used. Make the authorisation process so simple and streamlined. Their support, especially initial set up, is incredible. I honestly couldn't sign their praised enough!
Desvantagens:
One thing we wish it could do is have the option of having the approval workflow work based off of the nominal code, as opposed to working at a supplier level. But even that isn't really a con, just a wish!
A really good accounts payable software.
Comentários: I really like how user friendly this software is. It helps me be more productive and I understand it enough now that I can easily introduce interns to it. Being able to integrate with different accounting software is a bonus and a real time saver. I also really enjoy going paperless so my work is accurate and there are no lost documents. I would like for Lightyear to work on the lag when integrating but other than that I would definitely recommend this software.
Vantagens:
I like how user friendly this software is and if I am ever stuck then support is always available. I have been able to save a lot of time and train a few interns with Lightyear. Being able to access old invoices in the online archive is great too. The statement reconciliation process has finally allowed me to go completely paperless which makes my work more accurate.
Desvantagens:
At times syncing with Netsuite lags so it takes a bit longer to sync.

Ease of Work lifesaver
Comentários: pleasure
Vantagens:
running my multiple entities and division within the one program
Desvantagens:
anything that doesn't work, a simple call to support and they fix it right away or find an alternative solution
Highly Recommended - A Cost Effective Solution and Amazing Customer Service
Comentários:
I wish we had moved to Lightyear a long time ago, it's a simple solution to a time consuming process.
Customer service has been second to none - from the start of demonstrations to ongoing support (which we rarely use now) the service has been 10/10!
Vantagens:
Complete visibility across supplier invoices either via the dashboard as a quick view or in detail across all stages of approvals. This is especially helpful at the end of the month to see if all invoices have been through the entire approval process and exported to our accounting system before close off. Search functionality is helpful and shows which stage of the process each invoice is at - search results can be exported. The audit trails and notes show full history of the life of the invoice and save a lot of external communication and queries. Implementation was easy after the demonstrations given to us by [SENSITIVE CONTENT] who took the time to understand what we wanted (which was a little bit out of the ordinary!) and configure the settings accordingly. We gained confidence in Lightyear through the demonstration/training process and the additional webinars.
Desvantagens:
Looking forward to enhancements to the mobile app to allow more functionality while on site.

Great AP tool for your business
Comentários: User friendly platform, great support and an outstanding approval options. I recommend Lightyear to all my clients, specially the ones that requires a complex approval process before the bill is imported to the accounting system.
Vantagens:
The approval options definitely is the differential of Lightyear. From a simple 2 steps approval, to up to 3 executive approval, there are many options that can suit the most complex business. Another strong point from Lightyear is their support. You usually gets a response on the same day.
Desvantagens:
Their subscription is based on the number of transactions, so if your business manages a large quantity of bills, it might become a bit expensive.

Many thanks for the review. Glad to hear that the approvals are making your life easier.
Lightyear are a true business partner
Comentários:
The Lightyear team are an absolute joy to work with, absolutely passionate about their product, and absolutely passionate about your customer journey. Lightyear provide fantastic support, with investment in comprehensive system training, onboarding and seamless accounts system integration even before you have committed to buy. The transition from our original processes took approximately one day!
Lightyear have now fully automated our AP function, embedding improved and auditable controls, and is now a fundamental part of our business processes.
Lightyear truly are a business partner in every sense of the word.
Vantagens:
The functionality of Lightyear is incredible. This solution fully incorporates digitisation of all aspects of the AP function including data extraction from invoices, a full invoice depository, approval workflows via email and app, audit trails, seamless integration with our accounting system, automated supplier statement reconciliation, to name but a few. It can even verify supplier invoice line pricing to agreed pricing product price lists! The system is user intuitive, with the process was so natural that rolling this out across the team was simplicity itself. And pricing is scalable to usage, providing totally affordable Rolls Royce functionality to any organisation.
Desvantagens:
Have found no cons to date! Thee are certain upgrades in the pipeline for approver interface via the app and email which will further enhance the already existing superiority of this product.
Wonderful Product
Comentários: Time saving and accurate. The archive tab is a wonderful tool for our department managers to look up invoices without interrupting the Accounts team. The inventory function is great as well. I was sceptical when first introduced to Lightyear after returning from Long Service Leave but now I just couldn't imagine working without it. Being cloud based it is easy to work from home.
Vantagens:
We never lose an invoice. Even if we accidently delete an invoice we can return it for processing. We have reached our goal of being almost paper free. The processing, approval, review and signing off tabs are wonderful and provides us with a simple system that provides accountability from our department managers. So easy to use and saves so much time.
Desvantagens:
A very small number of our supplier invoices can't be mapped but with the overall benefits of this system it is just a minimal issue.
Lightyear -very easy to use and saves time and printing . User friendly .
Vantagens:
Software is very easy to use and to understand. Screens provide relevant invoice information. Corrections on invoices can be made easily if required by the user. Adding notes to invoices is very helpful for future reference. Looking up archived invoices is also very useful. Creditors statements can also be stored so no need to print them. Setting up new users is very easy and quick. Invoices that need to be mapped by Lightyear are mapped in a timely manner . There are regular improvements and updates on Lightyear which benefit the user.
Desvantagens:
Hard code description against suppliers when it is always the same description that needs to be entered
Charity Lightyear User
Comentários: Its been a fantastic experience with high quality customer support and attentive account manager. It was refreshing that they have delivered the product that was sold to us. The fact that there is so much product development and opportunities to feedback means that you feel important as a customer.
Vantagens:
The ease of use is exceptional and has made the implementation easy for our organisation. End users have said how much they love the product and all our admin teams and managers have embraced the change which is fantastic. It means that the finance team now have full visibility of where there are backlogs in invoices being sent in for payment which helps when suppliers have queries. The audit trail and approval listing is fantastic.
Desvantagens:
It may have helped to get some more feedback from a similar organisation on how they adapted their processes to fit in with Lightyear but the Lightyear team is very helpful and patient so we got up to speed quickly .
Stop searching this is the product for you
Comentários: We have been with them since the start - and I find it exciting to see the new developments, and love the innovation of the team. It has made my workload smaller and aided me in finding invoices that would have long been lost had it not been for lightyear search options.
Vantagens:
The ease of use, and the multi-level permissions. I run three companies using one software.
Desvantagens:
every time I find something I don't like customer service solve it within minutes - they have figured workarounds for all the work we complete
