- Make your employees happy and your workflow easy with TrackEx
With firms digitizing all around, now is the time to select an effective cost-management solution that will not just benefit you but, more significantly, your employees. Yet, there are various factors to consider before making your decision.
Businesses all have one thing in common: they must manage the spending of their personnel. This management is not optimized for the majority of them. According to the GBTA (Global Business Travel Association) Foundation, expenditure management might take up to 20 minutes per employee. We can all agree that this is a laborious, stressful, and time-consuming process that is prone to human mistakes. Yet, as the saying goes, "time is money": the more time your staff spends filing costs, the less productive they are. Understanding their pain points first should be your priority.
Things to consider before/while choosing an expense management solution.
1. Define your requirements.
The first step in selecting any software solution is to identify the needs that it must satisfy.
- Real-time expense tracking that is optimized
- Control and verification are simplified.
- Integration with your organization's software (your ERP, for instance)
- Technology's uptake and the employee training process.
When the requirements paper is completed, the internal policy on professional expenses must be (re)defined. What kind of expenses is eligible for reimbursement? On average, how long should expenditure management take?
2. Simple expense management and verification.
Because expenditure management digitalization saves time for employees, it is critical to select a solution that simplifies expense validation.
3. Absence of paper receipts.
Having to deal with paper receipts is one of the most inconvenient aspects of expenditure management. They degrade, become unreadable, pile up, become misplaced, etc. It is difficult to properly store them to submit them in a tax audit.
4. How does the software perform in terms of functionality and usability?
a) Application
- Can the software system be tailored to your specific policies and guidelines?
- Will the software improve the employee experience?
- What is the effectiveness and usability of the mobile app and web versions?
b) Usefulness
- Have your reporting skills improved?
- What type of turnaround time savings are you aiming for?
- How quickly and efficiently are policy infractions dealt with?
5. Regulations and compliance requirements.
