Prompt helpdesk feedback. Accesible from anywhere. Flexibility to make it fit the company's needs. > > **Cons**: Reports need to be customized to meet our KPI needs. Rather expensive fees for new implementations or development. ----- ### "Great company providing value to customers" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 December 2020* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use, allowing quick deployment throughout the organization. The service team is also very responsive and typically their service levels exceed contract SLA's. > > **Cons**: We haven't fully taken advantage of the automation it offers in terms of hands free mail-to-vouch technology (called "Autovouch") On us, not them\! > > We started with a paper process many years ago- Dataserv brought us powerful automation that yielded significant efficiency gains. They have followed up with improved ease of use, reliability and analytics that have helped us realize incremental productivity gains from the original value proposition. ----- ### "Thankful to have this product especially during the pandemic" — 3.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *4 January 2021* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am very thankful we had Dataserv during this pandemic. It is very convenient to be able to code and approve invoices from anywhere on my laptop. Being able to approve invoices on a smartphone is a great convenience to managers and directors that are on the road a lot. Not having to open the mail anymore is also a blessing. Especially working from home, there was not need to go into the office to get the mail, open it, send it out for approval, etc. > > **Cons**: Some of the matrices are clunky and not very user friendly. As an administrator, it is often difficult to update location, users, extra. Also, you have to go to several different matrices to completely add a user. De-activating a user should have more functionality, ie you should not be able to route an invoice to a deactivated user or there should be some kind of alert. > > The visibility and accountability built into Dataserv are wonderful. At first, the managers and directors questions why they were seeing invoices that they had never seen before. Once they got used to it they appreciated the visibility and now question when they aren't seeing invoices. Dataserv has freed up the AP department from the tedium of entering invoices into our payable system. Allowing the department to be more customer services based and tackle other areas of AP. ----- ### "Time Saving" — 5.0/5 > **Beverly** | *22 April 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I see only the invoices that are for my location. We are a large company with many locations and lots of invoices filter through here. With Data Serv, they can funnel to me only my store's invoices. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it takes a little while for invoices to filter into my que, but that is no reflection of the software. its just our process that days a couple of days. > > We have cut down on the amount of paper invoices that we must shuffle through for accounts payable. Everything is grouped together in one location with the ability to code right on the screen. With our payable system, if the invoice matches the PO, the process is automatic. I never have to approve it. It has cut payable time down to a fraction. ----- ### "My two years experience with DS tells me that this is a very helpful tool." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 May 2018* > > **Pros**: Honestly, the dashboard feature. Helps a lot in organizing the work load. I also like that DS connects with ERP software used by different companies. > > **Cons**: Waiting for the master data file to be pushed overnight. Not all the users understand that there is a period of time needed for the information in the ERP to get over to DS. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/64385/dataserv-vendor-management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/64385/dataserv-vendor-management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
