Expense Management Process
Discover how IntelliBuddies AI-driven unified RDA platform revolutionizes Expense Management
Background
A typical expense management consists of carrying out many actions across multiple roles. While compiling travel expenses and preparing a report is one aspect of it, such an expense statement has to go through multiple approvals before finance can reimburse the qualified.
As a department head, you would want to have your colleagues go through the process effortlessly, HR would be interested in making this as simple and hurdle-free as possible to create a smooth experience, Finance would love to make the turn-around time quick with minimal back-and-forth.
Preparation of reports for submission has hitherto been a cumbersome process. In departments where staff travel extensively, this low-value task gets highly repetitive that they may spend more time in compiling expenses than on their travel objective. Once the report is ready, approval thru’ a chain of departments and roles would be tedious for every actor if such efforts are manual.
The challenge now is, how do you make this experience consistent and seamless? The answer would be automation. You digitize your process so that staff spends minimal time either in compiling the reports or getting approvals across desks.
You may of course invest in multiple disparate systems to meet your objectives – BPM for automating your manual workflows and RPA for compiling and consolidating your expenses. However, your costs will skyrocket, connecting disparate systems would only mean implementation overheads and incompatibility issues. And what about support for AI/ML, Analytics? This is where IntelliBuddies plays a key role.
