- Tapan J., Senior Analyst at dunnhumby
“[Expensify’s] Smart Scan feature lets me take an iPhone photo of a receipt and it extracts the dollar value. Then I can easily import the receipt into my expense report. It just works. I find that I get my expense reports done faster and in a more timely manner because it's just so easy.”
- Will W., CMO at SteelBrick
“I have used a number of travel expense systems over the years and Certify is one of the most accessible to a traveler. The tools to capture receipt images and link them to a report make tracking things very easy – and reduces the hassle of keeping track of all those paper receipts over the course of a trip.”
- Bryan B. Senior Project Manager at ImageSoft, Inc.
“TriNet Expense is a very functional product. Using the product will achieve the goals it was created for. The user interface is straight forward and menu items make sense. Slight learning curve, but not enough to discourage users. Very nice product.”
- Chandler L., Software Developer at innoWake International, Inc.
