Virtual cards to book business trips
Employees book their business trip, including trains or flights or a hotel reservation, autonomously and securely with a virtual card on the internet. Employees can make their travel bookings up to a certain pre-approved amount without a manager's approval. For higher amounts, the manager receives a notification that can be approved or rejected with one click in the mobile app, or via the Slack integration.

Physical debit cards with built-in travel policies
Paying in cash on business trips, advancing expenses, and submitting long expense reports every month are all a thing of the past. With Spendesk, each employee gets their own Mastercard debit card for payments on the road and can pay autonomously and securely. Managers & finance teams can individually approve time slots, days of the week, and expense categories for each employee to ensure all policies are met. The function to withdraw money from ATMs can be activated with one click.
)
Digital, automated travel expense reporting
If employees forget their card or card payments are not accepted, they can create a digital expense report in no time. They photograph their receipt and submit it with one click via the Spendesk mobile app. Using OCR technology, all important information is extracted automatically. And for finance teams, all travel expense reports can be viewed by finance teams from anywhere at any time. Reimbursements of a travel claim can be triggered directly in the Spendesk platform. Mileage allowances and additional subsistence expenses are also managed digitally & paperlessly in Spendesk.
)
All payments in one tool
Spendesk centralises expense reports, purchase orders, invoices, transactions, and preparatory accounting in one solution, and links employee requests to team budgets. This allows managers to check that each expense - such as the cost of a hotel stay during a business trip - fits within the budget. The company's travel policy is always respected before payments are approved. The finance team doesn't have to wait until the end of the month when employees submit their travel expense reports to see how much has been spent, and there are no more nasty surprises.
)
Digital accounting with the Xero integration
Manual expense reports submitted in various Excel spreadsheets cost finance teams a lot of time & energy at the end of the month. Spendesk not only centralises travel expense claims, but expense management in general: accounting sees all employee expenses and payment information in real time and expense claims are digital & paperless. Spendesk also automates VAT and the allocation of G/L accounts and receipts, saving finance teams an average of 2-3 days in month-end closing. Thanks to native integrations (including Xero), and customisable exports, you can export payments and receipts from Spendesk directly into your existing accounting systems.
