Current trends in Expense Management Software

Most expense management software are custom-designed to help businesses when spread across different cities within a country. This means admins can look into expense reports, gain insights into spends and more under one dashboard.

Handling employee spends across countries can be a task by itself.  Add to this, variables such as multiple currencies, approvers, processes and policies. In these cases, the most common sort of challenges faced is delayed reimbursements, increased policy violations, and utter confusion.

The current situation in other expense management software:

In most expense management systems available in the market today, they consider different countries as different organizations. This makes it only harder for admins to keep track of expenses and reports.

Though most accounting software allows for admins to manage expenses recording across countries, they are still required to hover over multiple dashboards. Different country entries are accessible through separate dashboards.  But, these open up a whole new set of challenges that admins are forced to deal with.

Common expense management challenges faced when dealing with a global employee base:

Admins and Finance executives need to hover over multiple portals or dashboards:

A generic expense management software allows you to manually input expenses, review and approve expenses and a host of other basic features. These features, however inconvenient allow for a somewhat decent functioning. But the actual problem arises when these admins or approvers have to deal with globally traveling employees.

This is when admins need to hover over multiple dashboards to gain insight into the state of expense management in their organization. Add to this, variables such as country-specific accounting systems, currencies, currency conversions, varying expense policies and more.

You know, this spells trouble. Hours of productive time wasted in compiling, printing, validating and managing fyled expenses.

With Fyle, you would no longer need to bury yourself under piles of receipts and printed spreadsheets. Admins and finance teams can access claimed spends, details on flagged expenses, a complete digital audit trail and more under one dashboard.  

Policy violations by employees due to different expense policies, currencies or accounting systems:

Often employees may require approvals on business spends for which the approver may have little to no insight. Most companies also have different hierarchies of approvals. This not only makes it a time-consuming process, but also leaves immense scope for delayed turnaround time for reimbursements, increased policy violations, and fraud. Additionally, policies that are set up in a particular "org," that the reports belong to will still apply to the new "org." Thereby, increasing policy compliance, awareness, and transparency.

With Fyle, you can customize and automate policy checks, the hierarchy of approvals, and increase accountability and transparency within the organization, irrespective of the location.

Lack of insight into spending trends and expenses claimed:
