Spend management — all in one place
Tracking corporate spend can be a major challenge because expenses aren’t always tracked in one place. An ERP system or similar software solution might manage procurement and invoice management, but it may not handle debit/credit card deployment, travel expenses, or expense reimbursements. Spendesk is a spend management platform that helps you view and manage all expenses in one place so that you always have a single source of financial truth.

Get granular insights into how teams spend money
Ever wanted to know how employees are really spending their money? Many financial management solutions only provide a high-level overview of team spending trends. With Spendesk, you’ll have access to everything you need to dive deep into spend habits, expense tracking, and more. No matter whether you’re a startup, a small business, or a growing organization, this functionality can be a game-changer on the road to complete financial accountability.
)
Top-down accountability that works
Even with dedicated expense management software, it can be easy for approval workflows to fall apart. Finance teams need to delegate some approval authority to department managers, and it’s easy for spending guidelines to get lost in translation. Spendesk removes that managerial burden by using rules, spending policies, and budgets that help cards manage themselves. That way, no matter how you set up the chain of responsibility, there are always safeguards in place.
)
Flexible spend deployment and approval automation
It’s easy for accounting software tools to fall prey to a one-size-fits-all approach. With Spendesk, you’ll have the tools you need to employ greater flexibility with your spend. Employees can request permission and approval when they need items that fall out of the standard spending policy, and approvers can see them in real time. Once approved, categorization, receipt capture, and expense reimbursements are fast, easy, and simple.
