It works best for businesses where the people raising and approving spend aren't always at a desk — construction, trade, hospitality, and multi-site operations. If your site managers are buying in the field, your staff are submitting expenses on the road, or your approvers are constantly between locations, the app is built for that.
Yes. If you manage more than one entity in Lightyear, you can switch between them from the company picker at the top of the screen without logging out.
Yes. The app sends push notifications when an invoice is assigned to you, when a colleague mentions you on a document, or when an expense you've submitted gets approved.
