Company
a fast-growing, global digital marketing and technology company with a large and expanding workforce.
Challenges
1. Manual & Time-Consuming Process: The previous expense management process was entirely manual, requiring employees to chase physical receipts and finance teams to perform time-consuming checks on hundreds of claims each month.
2. Slow Approvals & Reimbursements: The manual workflow led to significant delays in the expense approval cycle, frustrating employees and slowing down payroll processing.
3. Compliance Risk: A lack of real-time auditing made it difficult to catch duplicate claims, non-compliant spending, or policy violations efficiently.
Solution
The company implemented Zoho Expense for its entire organization.
1. Mobile-Enabled Expensing: Employees gained the ability to use the mobile app to snap a picture of a receipt, which instantly logged the expense and automatically captured data.
2. Automated Workflows: Custom approval workflows were set up to automatically route claims to the correct manager, speeding up the entire cycle.
3. Real-Time Policy Checks: Built-in policy rules were configured to automatically audit claims against company guidelines in real-time.
4. Integration: The solution was integrated with their existing payroll system for faster and more accurate employee reimbursements.
Results — by the numbers
Massive Time Savings: The time spent processing an expense claim was cut down from days of manual checking to just a few minutes, allowing the finance team to process 500+ claims a month with ease.
Faster Payroll & Audits: Payroll runs became faster, and audits were made significantly easier and more effective due to the digital trail and real-time compliance checks.
Improved Employee Experience: Employees received faster reimbursements and felt more confident that their claims would be handled correctly, driving better efficiency across the growing team.
