Diriger - Enterprise Expense Claims

The Problems we solve

Customers require a modern, easy-to-use, and interoperable Enterprise Expense Claim Management solution to meet the needs of their compliance and regulatory obligations. Key requirements include the need for both online and off-line usage and administration, have a user-friendly mobile UI/UX, be cloud-hosted, and fully integrated with their ERP system of record to ensure data integrity and governance.

Current expense claim submission processes are primarily manual, are time-consuming, place an administration burden on staff, and are dependent on the individual claimant to have a detailed understanding of the organisation's expense claim policies and procedures. There are regular omissions of data and information due to a lack of understanding of the salient policies, regulations, and tax requirements; hence manual processes often result in too many iterations and delayed payments.

The accompanying documentation needed to support these claims is often incorrect or missing, resulting in further delayed processing.

All the above situations lead to a strong reliance on an already overextended Accounts Team to ensure that correct, readable, and accessible receipts and accompanying documentation are lodged in a timely manner and that the claims meet the organisation’s policies and tax eligibility requirements.
