Automated expense reports make processing faster and easier
In expense management, one of the biggest issues any organization faces is the processing speed. Expense management is a business process, and when business processes are slow and inefficient, they adversely affect the entire organization, not to mention the lack of interest and motivation among employees that would creep in. A lot of this is due to the organization employing manual practices for reporting and processing; processing automated expense reports is much easier and faster.
One of the major causes of slow processing speeds is inconsistent workflows. With expense management being an ancillary activity, not many organizations give it the importance it deserves. As a result, they don’t implement or standardize a steady workflow for expense management. This results in ad hoc practices being followed, which cause processing speeds to be reduced.
Another major issue that slows down the process is verification. Expenses made have to be substantiated with receipts that have to be verified by the supervisor of the employee who traveled. When employees prepare expense reports, they have to be routed to the supervisor who verifies them and sends them for further processing. Sometimes, the number of expenses made by an employee runs into big numbers, and with many such employees, can you imagine how long it would take for the supervisor to complete the verification? If the supervisor puts it off even for a single day, the workload will become huge and processing slow.
Add to the above other bottlenecks and obstacles and you have a slow and inefficient expense management process.
The answer to all of these is to switch to expense report automation using online expense report software. The software helps with the implementation of an optimal workflow that is streamlined and clear of obstacles and bottlenecks.
