Overall Chase review

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: You know I love it. Life would be horrendous without Chase for me and for the rest of us in Finance.

Pros:

Ease of use. Reports that are crucial to what I do. Integration with Sage which Chase (Rovigo) assists with if there are issues. It would take a week to get hold of Sage and another to get a solution. Just generally all round ready to assist. Especially for a Gogo.

Cons:

Would like a few more report options on Work type codes.

Comments: We have been using Chase for a few years now, the support is superb, the Chase team is hands on and always willing to look at alternative solutions. The overall package works well for timesheet keeping, job profitability and building a history of clients and jobs.We moved to a different system but that never worked for our business and moved back to Chase. I would recommend Chase to anyone.

Pros:

Very user friendly. The system works in all spheres of the business and allows you to have a overall view of all jobs in the system. The finance features are great when pulling financial reports it integrates effortlessly with our accounting package.

Cons:

Currently there are features that we chose not to use on the system but the ones we do use we don't have any issues with.

Chase Software Unpacked

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall we have seen an increase in effeciency, with proper training and process flows we have seen how it can show us problems and help us solve them before they become bigger issues. As with all software the data you put in is what you get out, so ensuring that your staff put the data in is key.

Pros:

The features I like the most about Chase Software are the ease of use once you know and understand how the system works. The data that it gathers is really great and when you use Chase with Insight it offers some powerful analytics to help make business decisions.

Cons:

The Con for me with this software is the set-up. You need to set it up really well in the beginning to get the data you need and if you are a company still figuring your business model or process flows out this can trip you up.

Hi Angelique Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful response with us. It's great to know you chose us and that all your hard work in setting up the system has paid off. As always, if there's anything we can do to help please get in touch and we'd be glad to be of assistance.

Chase Software saves me so much time

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: With Chase I can track expenditure and most importantly with the reporting break down Brand expenditure, department spent and category allocations

Pros:

I use Chase software mainly for loading all the invoicing incoming for our Marketing and Sales Departments and also to invoice out to our Suppliers. The most important thing is also the excellent reports that I can generate at each month end. Chase have been absolutely amazing and Genevieve has really gone the extra mile by taking the time to also understand our business and then adapting/adding/changing various things in Chase to meet our needs. Once you know and understand what Chase can and cannot do it is really easy to use. I think the most important thing as well is the service and aftercare that you get from Chase. There is nothing they wont do to try and assist where possible. Its great knowing that no matter what my query is/has been [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has always been there to provide support and also great suggestions.

Cons:

I don't have any comment here as most of the issues that I had were very easily resolved by Chase and their customer support

Great features, easy to use and customise with fantastic support

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Excellent service and support - Chase was very willing to customise the software to meet our requirements and make our life easier

Pros:

Wow there are so many features I love - 1. The planner - giving you an overview of everyone's work 2. The timer - which allows the resource to start a clock when they begin a job and then stop it so they capture accurate time 3. The ability to link Jira - so you can do everything once

Cons:

When a resource captures the incorrect time or on the incorrect job - it is sometimes a mission to fix the time as you have to zero the time on the timesheet of the resource - you cant do it as an administrator

Chase Software Response

Thanks for your feedback, Joanne! Regarding your timesheet woes, Paul has been in touch to show you how our Timesheet settings allow you to easily correct or delete entries on behalf of others. If there's anything else we can do to improve your Chase experience please don't hesitate to let us know!

Chase software review - JIMBU digital studio

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Very good, I would recommend this to all marketing and advertising companies

Pros:

My team was introduced to Chase software 3 months ago, and they have all taken to it very well. Everyone has learned quickly how to use it, and it has made a huge difference with organizing our creative team's roles and tasks on a daily level. The time tracker and tasking functions are extremely useful, along with being able to plan studio resources effectively.

Cons:

There are sometimes glitches in the software, I.e. the Job bag time trackers not working, but the Chase team jumps on these corrections very quickly.
