What do you like best about Lightyear?

Lightyear saves us so much time. The volume of invoices we process daily can be quite large and the time that took to process individually in Xero was turning into a full time job. We had tried a similar app before but found it wasn't saving much time and we still required to input a lot of data. A huge benefit is not only do invoices need little handling from the team now but also anyone can pick these up, it's so easy to see what stage an invoice is at and it can be moved along by any of the team. The approval process is great, saves us lots of time chasing staff and I've had very good feedback from managers of how much easier they find approving invoices on LY compared to emails. I can also see Lightyear has so much more to offer than how we are currently using it and will definitely be looking into what more we can do. Lastly, the support from the Lightyear team has been exceptional and made the whole process so much easier. They’re continuingly looking for ways to help us and make everything smoother.

What do you dislike about Lightyear?

Honestly, nothing yet. It does exactly what it says on the tin and we've had next to no issues. Any issues we've had has only been something which we were still learning about and could be fixed with the help of the support team. If I had to input an answer though, not being able to overwrite VAT. Sometimes there's a difference due to rounding and a manual adjustment similar to Xero would be easier than the auto rounding.

"Outstanding Accounts Payable solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Lightyear?

The support received from setup and implementation, through to day to day use has been amazing.

Have been able to streamline AP process and more than halve the time taken to process 100s of invoices each week, with improved accuracy and consistency of GL coding.

The automated statements function is invaluable for invoice reconciliations, and makes following up missing invoices so easy.

Ability to export invocies for use with POS software to maintain inventory and accurate item costings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightyear?

Nothing to dislike! Would be helpful to be able to import more supplier data from accounting software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic Product - Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Lightyear?

Everything is digital; no more files and paper are all over desks.

It is so easy to find bills and credit notes.

Love the Reconciliation process - LY makes it so easy

Using LY ensures that paperwork does not go missing and that adequate records are kept on who is working on the bills.

The support we have received is five-star service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightyear?

You will always have to make some adaptions because every business is unique in its needs. This is understandable, and the small changes we had to make do not come close to comparing to the advantages we have had in using LY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
