Say farewell to the era of mobile expense apps; it's time to embrace a simpler way to manage expenses – through texting.
Over the past three decades, we've witnessed expense management evolve from cumbersome paper-based processes to spreadsheets and finally to the app-centric solutions we've grown accustomed to. But now, we’re gradually witnessing a shift towards AI, with smart computing doing more than just automating tasks. With Sage Expense Management's new Conversational AI, go from “there’s an app for that” to “you don’t need an app for that”. Learn more about this launch here!
Introducing: Expense Reporting via Text Message 💬
Simply capture an image of your receipt and send it our way via text. Sage Expense Management's AI will handle the rest – automatically generating an expense, extracting all the important data, coding it according to your GL, and filing it away! Whether it's a credit card receipt or an out-of-pocket one, we've got you covered. No more app downloads required.
OCR-Powered Data Extraction and GL Coding
The moment your receipt reaches us, Sage Expense Management's OCR engine accurately extracts details like Amount, Date, Currency, Merchant, Category, and more, seamlessly mapping them to your Chart of Accounts or GL Codes.
Need to collect other mandatory information? Do that via text too.
Sage Expense Management will prompt your employees to submit other mandatory fields like Projects, Cost Centers and more via text messages, ensuring you don’t need to constantly follow up with them for important information. Configure all the fields you consider necessary or mandatory in the settings, and we will handle the rest. This means your users can not just submit receipt, but complete their entire expense without even using the mobile app!

Automated Credit Card Reconciliation
Sage Expense Management facilitates seamless reconciliation between your receipt and credit card expenses, regardless of which comes first. Users can submit receipts for all Visa and Mastercard card transactions via text message. We'll make sure they're accurately coded and matched. With real-time and direct card transaction feeds, you can get instant visibility into card spend without even logging into your bank accounts.
Real-time Policy Checks
Sage Expense Management’s policy engine operates in real-time, checking expenses against your business rules before they even land in the approval queue. From spend limits to project-specific guidelines, it ensures compliance every step of the way.
But Wait, There's More!
Sage Expense Management doesn't stop at automating receipt collection; it streamlines the entire expense reporting process, automating submissions and eliminating the need for constant reminders and verifications.
- Merchant-based rules: Auto-fill expense fields like Projects, Categories, and more based on the merchant name extracted from receipts. For example, “if the merchant is Uber, make category taxi”.
- Automatic report submission: Create a schedule based on which we will automatically create an expense report, add all the expenses, and submit it for approval. Users can literally submit a receipt, and forget about it.
- Track receipts from everyday apps: Employees can also track and submit expense receipts from apps like Gmail, Outlook, Slack and more.
