DocStar

What differentiates DocStar from other similar products?

What makes DocStar unique for me is how tightly it integrates invoice processing with project workflows. In energy projects, vendor payments, subcontractor invoices, and cost allocations move fast, and DocStar keeps that chain transparent

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favourite feature is the automated routing of approvals. When we were closing accounts for a gas pipeline maintenance project, invoices used to sit in inboxes for days.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What could get better is the reporting granularity. While I can see turnaround times and bottlenecks, slicing data by project phase or vendor category requires exporting to Excel. In finance, where we often present to leadership, I would prefer more built-in drill-downs

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are considering it, map your approval matrix carefully before rollout. DocStar shines when workflows reflect your real process, not just a generic setup. My advice is to start with one department, such as accounts payable, refine the workflow, then expand across capital projects. That phased approach is what made adoption stick in our company.

What differentiates DocStar from other similar products?

When handling employee medical declarations and training certifications, I can set rules so records expire or archive automatically. This avoids manual tracking and ensures we are audit-ready.

What do you dislike most about this product?

At the moment, staff still need to request certain files through HR. A smoother portal would reduce my team’s admin time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The navigation through the platform is not so friendly for non-IT users. Also the pricing cost is also too high for small firms.
