  • introduction of electronic digital signature;
  • automatic reconciliation of the travel agency’s data with reports.
RESULT
  • time for expense reports processing has reduced;
  • expenses on hard-copy document flow and logistics have reduced;
  • employees and managers can create and approve documents remotely from mobile devices;
  • tax risks associated with incorrect execution of documents have decreased;
  • managers have obtained a tool for detailed analysis of expenses on business trips, which made it possible to reduce these expenses;

Upon transition to electronic document flow which has also included processing of expense reports, total control of expenses became the most important advantage for us. Besides, expenses on paper document flow, like courier services, archiving, etc., have reduced. The company management gained full access to information on each document and its processing stage. Changes in the document flow system gave rise to the optimisation of quite a number of processes in the company work.
