Although API is just a little bit of jargon – it stands for Application Programming Interface – it is of enormous significance for existing or prospective customers of WebExpenses.
Rather than operating WebExpenses as a discrete silo disconnected from the rest of your systems, the roll out of the API quite simply means that WebExpenses offers the capability for extensive integration with the many management software systems that are widely deployed to run organisations.
Whether your business runs a full-blown Business Process Management system to handle all aspects of your business, or specialised applications that manage different elements like CRM, sales order processing and accounting, WebExpenses now delivers even better value to organisations of all sizes.
Once integration is set up, WebExpenses provides the data required to enable seamless interaction with your existing systems. This is entirely automated, so there’s no need for human intervention and no extra admin burden for finance or IT teams.
How might you use it? One example is that verified and approved allowable expenses data can be taken into your payroll system allowing for one single neat and easy monthly transfer of funds to your employees of salary + expenses.
To find out more about how WebExpenses API provides better value to your business, get in touch right away.

WebExpenses Petty Cash Management solution now offers the ability for businesses to root out a key source of inefficiency.
Many businesses run petty cash accounts to oil the wheels of daily operations. The experience of many finance departments is that paper based petty cash management systems are at best time consuming and inaccurate; rather more uncomfortably they are open to wilful criminal abuse by inviting fraud and theft.
Well the game has changed. The WebExpenses Petty Cash Management solution provides the opportunity to tighten processes and improve financial efficiency and control within mid-sized and large businesses.
Packed with comprehensive features and benefits, the Petty Cash Management solution helps finance managers to feel more at ease with the petty cash account. For more information follow this link to the product page on this website.

The answer to this question is to listen to your customer feedback and improve the feature even more and that is exactly what we have done here at WebExpenses.
Recently, we introduced distance verification into WebExpenses as an optional feature. This enables claimants to use postcode look up to find the endpoints of journeys. Please click here for Royal Mail’s postcode finder.
To use the feature you simply enter your ‘from’ and ‘to’ postcodes in the appropriate fields in WebExpenses. Then enter your vehicle type i.e. personal car 0.40 from the drop down list, see below:
Your mileage should then update automatically.
However, we have received feedback that not all new postcodes are available in the database, so we have made the system more flexible that when the postcode is not available, the user will be presented with the following message and can input the mileage manually:

2010 promises to be our biggest year ever…here are some of the things to look forward to this year:
Carbon tracking – In 2010, using WebExpenses you’ll be able to track your carbon footprint for different vehicles as well as trains and planes. This will help you calculate your carbon footprint with up to date carbon and environmental data.
Mileage verification – Introduced at the back end of 2009 and being fully rolled out in 2010, mileage verification uses postcode data to provide precise distance calculations for every business journey. This will deliver immediate cost savings and avoids exaggerated or excessive mileage claims.
Switch languages with the flick of a button – Building on our multi-currency functionality which allows configurations in multiple entities 2010 will see the launch of multi-language for WebExpenses. With a simple drop down box you can change the currency, this is great when you have offices in different countries.
Manage the greyfleet – New laws last year put more responsibility on directors should an employee have an accident while driving. Communicating company rules to employees is essential. WebExpenses will allow point of entry tick boxes when employees register a vehicle ensuring they have read the rules and mitigating the employer from any liability.
This feature is now live and some customers are using it successfully already. Contact us today if you want it.
API – Our will API make it easy to integrate WebExpenses with your existing software. Whether it’s your accounting software, project management software or CRM software WebExpenses will be able to talk to it.
WebExpenses on your Smartphone – In addition to SMS expenses look out for a mobile version of WebExpenses later this year.
