Control Company Costs
Get Around Your Workarounds. Let’s Automate That.
You’ve likely seen quite a few ‘finance hacks’ over the years – manual spend management workarounds that employees use to bridge disconnected business systems. As you can imagine, we have as well, and the shift to remote and hybrid working seems to be increasing the number and creativity of the hacks.
Some of the more recent workarounds we’ve heard about include:
- Couriering invoices to remote employees for approval
- Using random audits to detect expense reporting errors and fraud
- Saving employee self-booked travel plans in calendar invites
On the surface, finance hacks may seem like an effective way to keep spend data flowing. More often, however, they drive increased operational costs, risks, and complexity, plus decreased spending visibility, control, and employee productivity.
