My favorite thing about the Emburse Certify system is the convenient app -- you can take pictures of your receipts as you go, and then when you need to submit your expense report, they are all there waiting! The system can also autofill in details from your receipts like date, location, and amount. It really makes expense reports quick & easy. I've uses other systems at big pharma & ag companies -- Certify is BY FAR the best!
Honestly - I can barely think of a dislike for Certify. I guess Certify could be better if it implemented a way for the system to auto-select the right receipt for you? Since it can read the amount, it should be able to say "Is this your receipt?" I usually only have a few receipts per month but I imagine that would really help our staff who rely more on their corporate card.
Certify makes the dreaded monthly expense report simple and quick! I really like how we can take pictures of receipts right away and the system saves them til they are needed -- no more digging around in your purse for old receipts or trying to explain yourself when you have lost the receipt!
I appreciate how the credit card expense will post for easy access to edit and upload receipt. I also find the search engine very valuable for hotels and flights. There are always plenty of options and the best option is usually highlighted first for easy access.
It's nice to handle all of my work expenses and submit directly to my manager.
There is not much I dislike, however, you cannot delete expenses if there is a mistake. If you put the same one in twice, but it doesn't recognize from the credit card. I know now that I need to wait for the credit card expense to post before adding the expense to a report.
The problem solving may not directly benefit me, but I know they benefit our company. Our company can see where the expenses are going and exactly how much an individual has spend.
It is a very helpful desktop and mobile app overall. I love that it is offers seamless connection and multiple ways to utilize its capabilities and all it offers. The more you explore (if your like me) you will be surprised on the user friendly expirence and abilities it offers to help you stay organized for expenses, invoices, travel... so may options!
The only downside I have experienced is from time to time the credit card information "unsync's" so you have to re-sync it, but it doesn't happen too often and it is pretty easy to fix.
The application has helped me save loads of time by the many ways it allows you to use and interface with it. From your desktop to your phone, to your email... the click of a button to capture expenses and process them accordinly saves time, energy and help to keep me organized.
The best part about Emburse Certify Expense is the ease of use for our employees. If a process is too hard, it just won't get done. Certify is easy enough to use that everyone in the organization can use and interact with the program.
I don't like having to list each expense code for every department. It would be much easier to chose a department and then the GL account codes for that department are the only ones available.
T&E reporting is difficult without common parameters and procedures. Certify helps put those procedures in place to keep the process moving forward smoothly.
The idea that I can combine everything on one form. I am able to reconcile my expenses, down load receipts needed, and keep everything on one form. The other thing is that I have what I call my life saver which is that little button when I push submit, "Clean Up". It saves the time of having to call back expenses or redoing the form..
If you go beyond the spectrum of basic expenses it sometimes hard to get the expenses to close out such as credits or refunds. That of course could be user error. I'm sure there are many features I haven't mastered yet.
Well the main problem I have is that my credit card is used by various managers and getting receipts from them is the hardest thing to do; eventhough I ask them to just scan, take a photo or email them to me. However, once I have them in my hand, it keeps everything in one place, I download them and put them in Certify and at the end, I am able to do a few clicks to start my expense report and everything reconciles. Love it.
I really like how clean the user interface is to submit expenses. It feels like a modern application instead of the slow legacy old solution we were using. I like that you can just email PDFs or images to the receipts@certify.com email address to have them auto-populate in the system. I l
Right now we get a notification when our expenses are over 30 days old and need to immediately submit them or an email is sent to our supervisor. I am not sure if this is a change on our end, or Certify's. But it would be great to get a reminder notification a week before expenses were due to have more time to fill them out. Also when expenses are being processed we get several emails indicating the various stages that the expense report is in which are not clearly worded, I don't really know when my final expense report is approved I think it would be helpful if they included a graphic that showed the progression and what each stage entailed.
It helps me quickly go through my expenses and match them with the relevant business reason and receipt to ensure that my organization approves them.
I can add a receipt on my mobile app immediately, which means no missed reimbursement and easy tracking. Even if I don't have all the detail, I can fill in later on the website.
I can also preview my reports before submission to catch a missing receipt. Do I have hotel, car, gas, etc?
I also like that Certify can recognize my email so I can just simply forward an emailed voucher right into my account.
Seriously - I have no complaints on Certify.
I don't have lost receipts and therefore lose money the company should reimburse me for.
Expense reports are generated automatically with little or no changes needed which lessens the workload and tediousness of the process. Also notifications can be designed and tailored within any part of the process. The mobile version is just as easy and user-friendly as the laptop version which makes it really nice. I actually love using the software and it makes my life easier!
I've been using it for 4 months now in my business I use it frequently because I travel a lot and thus far I have found no downsides.
I often have 20 receipts after a work week while I'm traveling and if I had to fill all that stuff in every time it wouldn't be very tedious and difficult but there's a merge feature inside the expense report that automatically merges all like receipts and charges which makes organization superfluid and simple
Emburse is super easy to use for quarterly & monthly expenses. This is the software we use at my company & transitioned through my tenure with the company from another software & this one was extremely easy to transition to
The flow in which to create an expense could be a bit better - it shouldn't matter whether receipts have been uploaded or not to start, you should be able to start with an "expense report" & have cerify navigate as needed to get the details on the expense that's needed to move forward
it relieves our HR & Accounting teams to have to manually manage expenses for over 50+ employees

The ability to capture via cell phone in the moment. Automatic creation of report at beginning of each week saves time in preparing report to submit.
Haven't found anything to honestly say I dislike.
The need to keep receipts and create an expense report. It's as easy as capturing image of receipt once in hand, reconciling weekly before our due date and submitting. Keeps track and sends updates as it progresses. If there are duplicates or any other issues it is flagged with solution recommended.
