mExpenses

Business Situation:

Business expenses are incurred as part of every mobile workers daily routine; from travel, phone calls, accommodation to name a few.

Business Issue/Opportunity:

The business issue is two-fold.  For an individual, the process of spending, sometimes personal money, and having to collect and collate receipt information is a laborious task – not to mention the losses due to missed and under-value claims.  For the organization, inconsistent submission of expenses causes ‘lumps’ in cash-flow and each submission requires a high amount of manual administration to check, approve and validate each expense claim.

Solution:

Mobilize the whole expense process.  The mobilization of the expense process allows claims to me made on-the-move and provides real-time visibility to both the individuals incurring the expense and the organization who are due to reimburse them.  Through higher automation and mobilization of the approval and validation process, expense processes can move from being a monthly submission process to a more fluid as-it-happens approach, where regular submissions and reimbursements smoothes the cash-flow and improves the happiness of the individuals involved.
