Avaza vs. Fetch

There are teams who work hard, and there are those who work smart. Avaza helps you be the latter--it's is a great tool for any team collaborating on several projects, especially multiple projects with a lot of simultaneously moving parts. It has just about everything you need - from team schedules to timesheets, down to the task and sub-task monitoring. The best part for me is that we can switch from List View to Kanban to Gantt charts!

Fetch was a great upgrade for us when we started using it since we were moving from a paper/email based manual expense system. It would probably work well for a smaller company with a few departments. We pretty quickly hit a wall with it where it essentially met our needs, but we had to live with many limitations. Again, it was an improvement from a manual expense system, but there could have been more detail to the expense reporting options to handle standard situations. A few months ago Fetch announced that they were ceasing operation. I'm not sure if they were shifting directions or if they got acquired, but the expense reporting system we used went away.

• Helps keep track of time spent on each project
• Helps employees break down their time spent throughout the day
• Encourages better time management skills

Incentivized

• Receipt capture accuracy is awesome - I was proofing them at first and never finding errors, so stopped doing that entirely
• Simple categories - Expenses get divided into Submitted, Approved, and Paid. Extremely easy to see the status of submissions at a glance.
• Email receipt capability - You can just email receipts to receipts@fetchmoney.com and it automatically connects to your account

• I wish sub-tasks could also have due dates
• For really big projects, we hope there could be phases (aside from sections)
• In the chatbox, it would be great if photo attachments could be displayed as screenshots (instead of downloading the file)

• The UI could use a refresh.
• I'd like to see a place to save connections rather than accessing from "recent connections" every time I open Fetch.

Because it has been amazing and easy to work with.

Avaza is very easy to use, but the mobile app needs work.

They are always available and open to doing a call or a shared screen to walk through the issues.

I've used Trello before, but Avaza has way more features and is more applicable for cross-team collaboration. We selected Avaza for it's ability to not only project manage, but also for invoicing, expenses and it's ability to track time. We've gotten more accurate with estimate project hours, and therefore create more accurate proposals

Fetch is just simpler and works well for all the applications we require out of it. The price point is low and we don't really have any reason to shop around or find something else unless a new version of macOS becomes incompatible with Fetch.

• Avaza has made it easier to see how long I spend on certain types of projects and where I could be spending more time.

Incentivized

• The biggest I would say is the hard-to-quantify benefit for employees to be able to deal with receipts easily - plus, constantly be informed about the status of their reimbursements and the speed at which they are getting money back. People finally don't hate the experience of expensing anymore!
• Accounting's time spent on expense reimbursements is, I would say, reduced by 1-2 hours / week.
