Top 5 Benefits of Automated Expense Reporting

How you handle business expense reporting can affect your accounting processes, employee retention and satisfaction,  and ultimately your profitability. Every organization must deal with expenses. And the easier and more efficient your workflow for recording, reporting, verifying, and processing expenses, the better for everyone involved.

If your company still relies heavily on paper-based, manual expense reporting, you are missing out on some powerful benefits.

Enjoy the ease and efficiency of a paperless, automated, cloud-based expense reporting system and see the advantages to your company.

5 top reasons to automate expense reporting

1. Reduced errors

As long as you rely on manual, paper-based processes, you risk human error. That’s especially true if receipts pass through several hands. Mistakes happen. Even the most detail-oriented, careful employees can slip up. They may misplace or overlook receipts, create duplicate entries, omit a decimal point, or file an expense incorrectly. An automated expense reporting solution such as Gorilla Expense will help your team reduce errors. Gorilla Expense alerts users immediately if input errors such as incorrect information, duplications, or illegitimate expenses are submitted.

2. Speedy, streamlined workflows

Switching from a paper-based to an automated system will significantly speed up your reporting and reimbursement processes. Employees no longer need to keep paper slips or clutter their phone’s photo gallery with snapshots of receipts. Our advanced Receipt Box lets you store input receipts with a few easy taps.

Digitize your spending rules and approval processes, and establish expense policy limits. Limit large expenses with transaction-level limitations and enforce records depending on spending.

Dynamically add additional layers of approval for expenses and reports that surpass a predetermined threshold.

Configure the system so that each expense report line is routed to the appropriate Job Manager for approval.

Flag expense policy limit violations, potential duplicates, and receipt mismatch warnings at the time of approval.

Assign, track, and enforce budget limits by expense type for each employee or each role.

Eliminate the frustration and hard feelings caused by a drawn-out expense reimbursement process.

3. Seamless integration 

Gorilla Expense easily integrates with your existing accounting software, so there’s no need for a costly system overhaul. This means the transition and adoption of your new automated expense processing solution will be seamless and easy to learn.

When you automate expense processing, you eliminate printed forms, reports, and documents. Digital information is not so easily lost, destroyed, or misfiled. You also reduce your company’s carbon footprint, thereby boosting your organization’s social responsibility.
