Easy and Intuitive Employee Expense Submission
SolutionsInc radically simplifies the expense submission process, making it easy and intuitive for every employee. We enable employees to swiftly submit expenses they have incurred out of pocket on behalf of the company, be it for business travel, office supplies, or other operational needs. The system allows for quick snapping and uploading of receipts, invoices, or other documents as digital evidence to support claims, eliminating paperwork. You have the flexibility to partially approve individual items within a claim, and to separately update taxes in a dedicated taxes and charges section. The module also allows you to precisely configure expense types to perfectly match your company’s reimbursement policy, covering a wide range, from business expense reimbursements to employee benefits and medical claims. All of this is conveniently accessible from a browser on a desktop, tablet, or smartphone, providing flexibility and the ability to submit expenses “on the go.”
Configuration of Multi-level and Flexible Approval Processes
Ensuring that expense claims are fairly and correctly reviewed and approved by the appropriate individuals is crucial for expenditure control and compliance with company policy. SolutionsInc enables the configuration of advanced, multi-level approval workflows that can span different departments, management levels, and conditions (e.g., expense amount, expense type). Approval processes can be easily built using an intuitive drag-and-drop workflow builder, allowing for precise and rapid customisation to fit your complex organisational structure and company policies, ensuring both control and efficiency.
Efficient Employee Advance Management
Managing employee advances, whether for covering future business expenses or as salary advances, requires transparency and control. With SolutionsInc, employees can easily request advances, and the system allows the finance department to flexibly disburse these advances – either through integration with the payroll module or as separate payments. The module also enables precise management of the return of unused advance amounts, automatically identifying overpayments. Additionally, intuitive status tracking provides full visibility for both the employee and the finance department regarding the status of each advance request and associated payment, minimising queries and increasing trust.
Intelligent Settlement of Advances Against Expenses
When employees incur expenses on behalf of the company, they may use their own funds or previously disbursed advances. SolutionsInc ensures that the settlement process is straightforward, accurate, and conflict-free. The system intelligently and automatically allocates unused amounts from multiple advances to relevant reported expenses, eliminating the need for manual, time-consuming, and error-prone reconciliation. This significantly streamlines the settlement process, ensures precision, and allows for rapid closing of expense cycles.
Seamless and Deep Integration with Company Accounting
SolutionsInc ensures that every expense-related transaction is meticulously recorded along with its corresponding accounting impact. Easily assign accounting dimensions, such as projects, cost centres, departments, or even specific campaigns, to individual expense claim items. This ensures accurate and granular cost tracking against relevant units and objectives, which is fundamental for transparent financial reporting and budget optimisation. You can also efficiently manage partial payments against claims and advances, and track any employee payables and receivables, providing a complete and always up-to-date financial picture of the company.
Comprehensive Expense Claim Analytics for Strategic Decisions
Stay abreast of your company’s financials and gain strategic insights with comprehensive reports and intuitive dashboards within the Expense Management module. Gain access to reports such as the list of unsettled claims, detailed summaries of disbursed advances, analyses by expense category, and accounting ledgers. These insights help identify spending trends (e.g., which departments generate the highest costs), monitor compliance with company policies, detect potential misuse, and make informed financial decisions, contributing to budget optimisation and the financial health of your organisation.
The SolutionsInc Expense Management Module is an essential tool that transforms complex reimbursement processes into simple and efficient operations, providing full control over company expenditures, enhancing transparency, and supporting the financial stability of your organisation.
