So much better than e-mail!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I can't imagine a better application for project management. We are doing a mass medium and Pyrus is perfect to keep track of what's going on with each publication (step 1 - we are reaching out to a potential author or expert; step 2 - we brainstorm on more specific questions for an expert; step 3 - the designer draws a picture of an expert; step 4 - one of the staff members edits of the article that was written; step 4 - website editor does proofreading and publishes the article on our website; step 5 - we translate this article to a different language; step 6 - we promote the article on social media). The "Announcements" section is great to post the notes from our weekly team meetings. I know that Pyrus has many more options for more complex tasks.

Pros:

Pyrus is well-designed, I taught my team how to use it in less than 5 mins. The application for an iPhone is great.

Cons:

No cons. So far I've noticed only one tiny bug while using Pyrus but it does not affect my team's work.

Thanks for your review, Anastasia! So glad Pyrus is meeting your expectations and really helps to streamline your media process! Pyrus is designed to be easy to use, so it's nice to know your team caught on quickly. Please do let us know about that tiny bug you found - we definitely want to investigate it.

Simple & Efficient

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Pyrus has overall improved our organization and processing of AP and AR documentation. This has prevented us from having to put in extra hours of manual data entry as well as saving us on payroll expenses.

Pros:

The extraction of data has been the most beneficial for us in that it is a huge time saver in assisting our processing of documents. Being able to access,view and process our documents in a variety of ways has also been very helpful.

Cons:

In regards to our check processing and data extraction I see room for improvement, and we are continuing to work on that to better expedite the work as a whole. We've had a few struggles with things such as missing images or other data, but there is always a quick turn around for resolve which is a major plus!

Getting better all the time

3.0 5 years ago

Pros:

We administrate the accounting for dozens of healthcare businesses, so we see hundreds of bills every week. Using a single system without having to log in and out of each file is a huge time savings. I especially like that when a bill integrates into the QB file, I can retrieve the actual invoice in just seconds using the address string automatically attached to each entry.

Cons:

We had some issue during installation that were terribly frustrating, luckily, they were able to address our concerns and find satisfactory resolutions.

Hi Kim! I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your Pyrus Accounts Payable process. Being able to interact with Pyrus directly from QuickBooks is a huge time saver for many of our clients, and I'm glad that's working out for you. I'm sorry there were issues during the initial setup, but glad it was addressed to your satisfaction! Our team always works hard to make sure clients receive what they need. As always, please feel free to reach out to our support team, or to me directly, if you have any issues or concerns. We are here for you!

Switched from Pipefy to Pyrus

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I love it and it is way better than Pipefy.

Pros:

When invoice is in Pyrus it autofills as much info for you as it can, and shows picture of the actual invoice side by side.

Cons:

Not knowing all that it can do. Besides that I love it and use it with such ease!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review Pyrus! I'm glad you are enjoying the OCR technology that helps Pyrus read invoices and input the data directly into the system. It's a massive time saver for our clients, and really cuts back on the need for manual entry, with the hassle and likelihood of errors that entails... I know what you mean about not knowing all it can do! I'm still learning about the features of Pyrus - and I work here! We're also rolling out new features all the time... That being said - please reach out to us to schedule a time for an in-depth demo and, more importantly, a consult to ensure you are getting the most out of Pyrus. We will be happy to assist you. I'm glad you are enjoying Pyrus, and I hope you continue to gain from it!

Great Product, Great Support, Great Everything!

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: Our company uses Pyrus internally for a number of processes - new opportunity tracking, expense reporting, AP invoice approval routing and integration, and more. We also have positioned Pyrus with over 100+ clients of ours, within a variety of verticals and solution sets.

Pros:

Pyrus is a fantastic workflow and task management platform. We have partnered with Pyrus for almost 8 years now and every year it gets better and better. It is incredibly user-friendly, easy to configure, and provides great visibility into everyday tasks and processes essential for any company to remain effective and efficient.

Cons:

The ONLY thing that I think can be improved, and know that it will, is the ability to customize the look/feel and layout of the forms.

Excellent tool for marketing teams

5.0 5 years ago

Pros:

The versatility to transform into a better way to communicate through the marketing dept and the internal customer, reduces the use of email, minimize communication mistakes , the opportunity to have a perfect register of requests by dept, user, etc and to know exactly the operational time.

Cons:

To have multiple days to finalize a task p.e. the designer has to finish the request on 3 days, and the social media guy has 5 days more.

Good value for money

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: The overall experience is very positive. I use Pyrus on a daily basis and I feel comfortable with it. Keep up the good work.

Pros:

The software is very easy to use. It is possible to define the entire company structure with all the features assigned to every user. Super helpful for an internal approval of invoices. The customer service is always polite and attending.

Cons:

The possibility of direct cooperation with Datev.

Simply Good Software Response

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond, Mateusz! I'm glad you are enjoying working with Pyrus and that we are making your internal approval of invoices much easier. The company structure feature is often overlooked, but as you noted, it's extremely useful in controlling the security and capabilities of every user, as well as defining each user's role within the approval hierarchy. Regarding Datev, you are correct that we don't offer an off-the-shelf integration solution with them. However, we create custom integrations all the time, and would be very happy to do a custom integration with Datev for you. Please reach out to us directly so that we can discuss further.
