How to digitize processes in your financial department

Every month, corporate trips that companies have give financial leaders and their team great headaches and stress, since they have to deal with a multitude of bills for the accommodation and transportation reservations of all the travelers of a company who travel for business, and it is sometimes difficult to obtain some of these bills for the trips.

The information on these trips and the reports are usually chaotic, in addition to obtaining all the receipts and invoices for the different representation expenses such as meals, taxis... for all travelers, it is a tedious task to account for.

For SMEs, large companies and multinationals mean multiplying that large amount of corporate travel bills and representation expenses, these and other manual tasks of the department being very time-consuming, which end up costing companies a lot of money.

Financial leaders currently have the mission of leading the company to success, not only from a budgetary point of view, but also from a strategic point of view, being responsible for managing and controlling data to analyze and improve them, reducing expenses.

To achieve these improvements in a company's financial processes and protocols, the department has allied itself with technology, thus managing not to waste too much time generating data, since the automation of processes achieves greater productivity, time and money savings.

This automation in business travel is achieved, among others, with corporate travel booking management platforms such as Vyootrip, with its TRM (travel relationship manager), offering all the necessary information in a simple way to help make decisions that save costs. It also helps the financial department to carry out a much faster and more agile budget analysis for the company's trips, taking control of travel expenses and obtaining all the necessary data to optimize travel expenses in real-time reports.

By streamlining processes, replacing manual expense reports and internal databases with digitalization, it will be easier to obtain reports in real time of how a company's employees are traveling, thus obtaining greater control over the expenditure of the budget allocated to traveling, in addition to helping in a simpler way to make decisions that save costs. In this way, we reduce the time spent processing and analyzing expenses, in addition to obtaining a single monthly invoice for the total number of reservations made each month.

The move towards digitalization through management software is the only way to continue in the most unstable market in recent times. Those responsible for the finance department can count on a collaborative and informative management environment in real time.
