Because travel is often one of the largest expense area for organizations, it is one of the first places companies look to control costs. Companies with traditional paper-based travel expense reporting systems have difficulty controlling T&E expenses.

If you are like most companies looking to automate time-consuming and costly manual travel expense processes, you fall into one of two categories:

• You either have a defined travel policy, but have difficulty finding efficient
  and reliable ways to enforce it, or
• You don't have a travel expense policy yet and need help establishing controls

Company approval processes can be drawn out and costly if approval signatures need to be obtained by sending expense reports to multiple office locations. Negotiating better pricing with vendors can be problematic because of difficulty tracking how much money is spent with whom.
