Claiming expenses easily with software

Claiming expenses is often error-prone and labour intensive in many organisations: complex expense claim forms, uncertainty about responsibilities, and long waits for approval.

Sometimes expense claims are even lost. The Spend Cloud’s expense claims software helps digitize, clarify, and simplify this process.

The advantages of expense claims software

You can bypass the expense claims process by using smart payment cards for employees. That way you only have to use expense claims software with exceptions and you save tons of work! Read more about this unique combination on the Spend Cloud Expense page

After purchase, employees can take a photo of the receipt and submit the claim via the app straight away. In addition, no administrative knowledge whatsoever is required to claim for expenses incurred.

Expense claims automatically go to the right person thanks to the predetermined workflow. The assessor can approve the claim with just one click, and they also receive a reminder if action is not taken in good time.

With digital expense claims, you can always locate expense claims in the digital archive.

Claiming expenses, how does it work?

1. Uploading

Digital expense claims start with uploading the claim, this is very simple. No complex expense claim forms, but a system with several clear options. Employees can take a photo of the receipt via the app and submit the claim straight away. The system also uses familiar options for cost classifications, so employees require no administrative knowledge whatsoever to submit claims. The expense claims software allocates the costs to the correct ledger account in the background.

2. Submission/approval

After submission, claims automatically go to the right assessor based on the predetermined workflow. The assessor receives notification via email that an expense claim is ready for approval. If the assessor does not take timely action, they are sent a reminder. The employee can follow all these steps and see who needs to approve the claim.

3. Checking

Depending on organisational policy, administration checks the expense claims, or they are automatically transferred to the financial package for payment.

4. Viewing

Claims are automatically saved in a digital archive where it is clear exactly who claimed what when. The administration also has insight into progress reports that indicate the length of time taken by managers to approve claims.
