From receipt to reimbursement without the shoebox.

Staff snap the bill when they pay. The app reads it, checks your policy, and routes the claim for approval — finance pays it and every bill reaches the accounts with its project.

The problem

“Expense claims arrive as crumpled bills at month end.”
The problem this demo is built to solveLive demo · sample data

What is an expense management app?

An expense management app lets staff photograph a bill the moment they pay; it reads the amount, date and vendor, checks it against your policy, and sends the claim to the right manager for approval on their phone. Finance verifies and pays it, and every bill lands in the accounts with its project or cost centre.

Built around your workflow: this demo is a starting point — screens, fields, rules and integrations are made to fit your business.

01 · The problem

What problem does it solve?

A 150-person company with sales and service staff on the road collects expense claims as paper bills stapled to a form at month end. Bills are lost, policies are checked by hand, and claims take weeks to be paid.

Finance spends the first week of every month typing claims into Tally and chasing missing bills.

  • Lost bills

    Claims without proof.

  • Policy slips

    Over-limit claims paid without notice.

  • Slow reimbursement

    Staff wait weeks for their money.

  • Finance time

    Typing claims into the accounts.

What is an expense management app?

An expense management app lets staff photograph a bill the moment they pay; it reads the amount, date and vendor, checks it against your policy, and sends the claim to the right manager for approval on their phone. Finance verifies and pays it, and every bill lands in the accounts with its project or cost centre.

How well does it read Indian bills?

Printed bills and GST invoices are read well; handwritten bills are read where possible and the employee confirms the amount.

Can policies differ by grade and city?

Yes — limits by grade, city tier and category, with exceptions allowed when a note is added.

Does it work with Tally?

Approved claims can be exported as vouchers to Tally or Zoho Books, with the project or cost centre.

Can it handle travel advances?

Yes, as an add-on — advances are given, and claims are adjusted against them.

What about duplicate claims?

The same bill submitted twice, by one person or two, is flagged before approval.
