Zoho upgrades expense reporting software

Zoho Corporation, a leading global technology company, has launched a new version of its expense reporting software, Zoho Expense, which includes advanced capabilities to help mid-market businesses bring about efficiency in their T&E process, and control costs while recovering from the effects of Covid-19.
 
With the new version, businesses can seamlessly manage their travel, gain more visibility and control of their company's global spend from a single place.
 
Business travel has been significantly reduced due to Covid-19 while remote working has become a global norm. Companies more than ever require the right processes and tools to improve collaboration, ensure compliance of all regulations, and optimise company costs until revenue is normalised. The new version of Zoho Expense is specifically designed to provide complete visibility on all costs incurred by the company across offices.
 
With a chat bar built into the system, teams can communicate in real-time during the T&E process. Zoho Expense also allows businesses to have the flexibility to quickly implement changes in their travel and expense policy with customisable approval workflows. This means that businesses can rest assured that their compliance obligations are fulfilled in the event of an audit. 
 
"As businesses continue to combat the effects of the pandemic, there is an increasing need for a central tool that provides visibility of their overall business spend, simplifies travel management, streamlines approvals, prevents fraud, and maintains compliance," says Kevin Permenter, Research Manager of Enterprise Applications, IDC.
 
"With all these capabilities, Zoho Expense is helping businesses enforce company policies for T&E according to their country’s regulatory requirements. The system’s integrated travel management, budgeting, low-code extensibility and expense auditing features make this solution primed for rapid adoption in the mid-market segment."
 
"When it comes to travel and expense management, large organisations are typically stuck with legacy solutions. With these solutions, businesses are having to compromise on end-user experience, and on the features they need. The new version of Zoho Expense is built specifically to address this problem - a solution that is both feature-rich, and intuitive to use. With end-to-end travel management, artificial intelligence-based fraud prevention, automation, customisable policies, advanced budget management, and a lot more, the software helps organisations easily control costs and manage compliance. Powerful mobile app, collaboration-rich features combined with ease of use, make this solution indispensable for both administrators and employees making expense claims," says Sivaramakrishnan Iswaran, Vice President, Zoho. 
 
Some of the key benefits the new version of Zoho Expense offer include increased control and compliance; managing company travel in one place; effortless collaboration for remote workforce; AI-powered virtual assistant; and advanced customisation capabilities
 
Zoho Expense is available in three subscription plans: Free, Premium ($5/active user per month), and Enterprise ($8). –Tradearabia News Service
