Canals

“We’re having a very good year, and as far as the sales and operations sides of things go, it doesn’t feel like I’m working as hard. No taking things home on the weekend unless you get a call on a weekend. If our volume doubled tomorrow, we’d be ready. That’s the kind of confidence this gives us.”

“At a minimum, I would say with an advanced user, the time savings is probably three or four to one. And with a less advanced user, it’s probably closer to eight or ten to one. I’m extremely impressed with the amount of time I can save with it.”

“We kind of used the terminology—like having a child or a pet. You gotta train it. You gotta show it what it needs to do before it’ll do it for you. The users that were using it the most were getting a high percentage of matches. And that was despite a messy ERP catalog. The AI worked through it.”

“With Canals fully generating those POs and receiving the acknowledgements, things will move faster because we'll have that visibility and verification. We won't need a human to check because Canals will have all the line items to compare apples to apples in just a couple seconds. With Canals flagging discrepancies where we could be overpaying or underpaying, it's going to add a lot of value.”

“For us, we needed someone who would help us adapt to the platform, but also adapt the platform to our needs. Some companies get the same invoice every time, processed the same way. They might not need that one-on-one hand-holding like we did. But I will always speak highly of Canals.”

“Canals enables better time management. It’s easier to account for everything that needs to be done. Now instead of pushing things without a hard deadline, we’ve set a schedule and a plan to get to those things.”

“Canals came at a really good time,” said Abby. “If we had to sit there and key that many invoices ourselves, we would have been even more behind.”

“I will always speak highly of Canals,” said Abby. “I think you all have done a fantastic job with us.”

“Canals is constantly thinking about other things, too,” said Abby. “It’s fantastic because it’s stuff that wouldn’t even be on my radar, but Canals is thinking beyond just processing invoices. I really appreciate the willingness to raise these ideas if the team thinks it will benefit us.”

“We have a lot of small nuances and weird quirks,” said Abby. “The Canals team is trying to make this product exactly what we need it to be.”

“Our implementation engineer is a 10 out of 10. Fantastic. In the beginning I was asking 82 million questions, and he was on top of it. He was quick, and he fixed everything. And now it runs beautifully.”

“Canals had the attention to detail and the willingness to learn about us. They wanted the product to fit us.”

“Some platforms allow you to manually change a bunch of fields and manipulate the experience with lots of customizations. Some platforms used AI, but you couldn’t ‘teach’ it. Some were not easy to use. Canals gave us a good balance–it’s user friendly.”

“Canals has opened up so much more time to be able to get to other work. It has saved a person seven hours a day keying invoices. It's a win.”

“You keep finding your wow factor. I think that's what sets Canals apart.”

“I'd recommend taking a very deep look at what Canals has to offer,”

“Don't make me go back to the way I was doing it.”

“The purchasers are now handling twice as many orders with half the stress,”

“It's a positive that ASAP can help our orders be processed more accurately,”

“So for our vendors to say, ‘this is helping us, too’ then that's a positive for us in our relationship,”

“They've complimented us and commented that Canals has made their job easier,”

“The Canals team embraces the challenge, and they definitely tackle it and overcome it. And they're not slow about it either—I'm having a hard time keeping up.”

“Canals has taken a different approach. No one on the Canals team has ever said, 'No, we really can't do that.' They take everything we suggest on board.”

“They can handle twice as many orders with half the stress.”

“Everybody at Canals is fantastic. It's refreshing to partner with a company that carries the same values for their organization that we carry with ours.”
