It's fun, fast and efficient. Everybody has to do expense reports (sort of like death and taxes)-but Chrome River gets the job done painlessly. Simply point your web browser to Chrome River, login, and you're in a blazingly fast application that understands exactly what you need to do. Chrome River is configured for your firm: it uses your terminology and categories. It remembers the matters/projects that you use regularly. Need to find a matter number, use the Matter/Project Selector by just typing in a few letters of the project, client name or matter name. Need to charge an expense to multiple engagements, just press the Split button. Pick a foreign currency, the exchange rate is right there. Chrome River Expense is built for professional services firms; it understands how you work.
Chrome River Expense integrates with your corporate credit card. No need to type in the details, just one click and your transaction is entered. And there's no need to memorize general ledger account codes; Chrome River is driven entirely by matter/project numbers. Once you've used our Matter/Project Selector to find the matter/project you need, we'll handle all the accounting. When your report is fully entered, simply press Submit and Chrome River will take care of the routing and approval for you. If you have paper receipts, just step up to your copier/scanner, image the receipts and email them to Chrome River. The images will be attached to your expense report; they will be available to the approvers; and they will be permanently stored in our database-all without paper or human intervention.
If you are part of the approval process, Chrome River can make your life much simpler:
- You are only sent the entries from a report that needs your approval. No need to search through an entire report looking for what's relevant to you.
- With a single command you can return all the entries back to the submitter with a comment.
- You can return individual entries, while allowing the remaining transactions to process.
- You can quickly view the images of receipts and documentation from the approval screen.
- For routine transactions, you can approve reports from your BlackBerry!
The Chrome River approval process is meant to provide visibility and ensure accuracy. We've made it simple and informative, so that transactions can be promptly billed and paid.
