The platform is easy to use, invoices are processed quickly, and it's easy to track their status from submission to payment. The automation features have improved accuracy and saved our team a significant amount of time.

### "Awesome Product and Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Cathryn** | *28 January 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great product love using it. I works brilliantly and I love the product and your support system is amazing.
> 
> **Cons**: the inability to have 1 xero file linked to several lightyear companies.  We have suppliers who give us different pricing for different builders and that means that we have to create several LY companies.  however when we link to Xero we have to create different xero logins and then it does not give details of which company is linked in xero,
> 
> Excellent product, support is quick simple and easy and very astute quick to respond and updates and quick and often
