Did you know that second to maintenance and repairs, travel and entertainment is the most difficult cost driver to control? No matter to whom you speak—salespeople, accountants, or managers—the expense reporting and measurement process is a painful experience that often leads to additional costs, increased time, and more headaches for your organization.
Why? A major culprit for this lack of 
control (and overspending) is a lack of real-time insight, which is a by-product of manual expense management. Without the ability to automate expense reporting within your organization, people on your team start to have wallets looking like that of George Costanza.
By the end of the month, the entire reporting, approval, and entry into accounting becomes a marathon session that requires digging through cars for receipts, guessing and testing, and the unfortunately common submit and pray method.
This is all too common, and the most common cause is because manual processes hurt visibility. A recent Forrester study found that expense reporting pains are hurting businesses globally.
- 80 percent of companies surveyed report that T&E data is entered after the event or trip.
- 42 percent of firms were unable to successfully gather the data necessary for complete T&E reporting due to lack of inter-operability.
- Mobile access is also desirable, yet 60 percent were unsatisfied with their ability to see (and act on) this data via mobile devices.
- 43 percent of respondents said the lackluster ability to create custom reports was a huge issue.
