In fact, when growing a business, it can be a risk management superpower. With that in mind, we¡¯re sharing the ROI of ÂÜÀòÊÓƵ Expense as reported by our customers.

Granted these insights won¡¯t give you the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but we do like to think of them as giving you x-ray vision into the real-world value of spend management automation. Let¡¯s dive in.

Expense management solution must-haves

When we talk with finance and IT leaders, we begin by asking them what they¡¯re looking for in a cloud-based expense management solution. Business requirements tend to be specific to each company, however, there are some must-haves that bubble to the surface.

Today¡¯s business leaders look for a proven solution that:

• Provides employees with an easy-to-use mobile app to capture and approve expenses on the go
• Pre-populates expense reports from e-receipts, scanned receipts, and credit card data
• Identifies potential errors and out-of-policy expenses in real-time when creating an expense report
• Allows for configurable approval workflows based on employee or spend type, spend purpose, amounts, etc.
• Offers out-of-the-box integrations to ERP and accounting software
• Includes configurable reporting and trend visibility across employee groups and spend categories
• Uses intelligent technologies to generate insights, guide actions, and improve decisions

ÂÜÀòÊÓƵ Expense checks off all these requirements and more, but you likely already knew that. And hey, if not, feel free to take a ÂÜÀòÊÓƵ Expense self-guided demo.
