Education Expense Management FAQs

What are the main benefits of using expense management software for a large business?

You’ll transform finance operations across the entire organisation with enterprise-grade automation, real-time visibility across all departments and regions, and advanced controls that scale with your business. Our software eliminates manual processes, integrates seamlessly with your ERP, and frees up your finance team for strategic work while ensuring consistent policy enforcement globally and maximising VAT reclaims across multiple jurisdictions.

Our system automates everything end-to-end across your organisation. Employees snap receipts, data extracts automatically, and claims build in seconds. Multi-level approval workflows route expenses through complex organisational hierarchies automatically, and enterprise reporting that once took days now happens in real time. Two-way

Yes. Webexpenses integrates with Making Tax Digital-ready accounting systems and maintains the complete audit trail HMRC requires. We help with VAT calculations by automating receipt capture and using policy enforcement to ensure receipts are accurate. You can add and manage VAT rates for different countries, and built-in policy checks stop non-compliant expenses before approval.

You get real-time dashboards showing spending as it occurs across all departments, cost centres, and geographies. Set granular spending limits by category, project, or employee level, create sophisticated approval workflows that mirror your organisational structure, and use advanced analytics to track trends and identify issues immediately. Automated policy checks flag problems before expenses are approved, giving you enterprise-wide control.

Yes. We integrate seamlessly with 50+ accounting and ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Workday, as well as Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. The integrations are two-way and enterprise-grade, eliminating manual data transfer, reducing errors, and ensuring your financial data stays synchronised across all systems.

The system includes sophisticated automated compliance checks that flag out-of-policy spending, duplicate claims, and matches receipts with corporate card transactions. You can set hard spending limits that block non-compliant expenses before submission. Real-time visibility across the entire organisation means suspicious patterns are identified immediately, and comprehensive audit trails deter fraudulent behaviour.

Absolutely. Our cloud-based system is built for global, distributed workforces. Employees capture receipts instantly via mobile, track mileage, and submit expenses from anywhere in the world. Managers review and approve from any location, and everything syncs in real time between mobile and desktop. It’s ideal for organisations with thousands of employees across multiple offices and regions.

You see spending as it happens across the entire organisation rather than discovering costs weeks later when claims are finally submitted. This real-time visibility lets you forecast cash requirements accurately at scale and avoid surprises. Automated approvals speed up processing whilst blocking out-of-policy spending before it impacts your accounts, giving you much tighter control over working capital.

Our platform uses enterprise-grade security including two-step verification (text, fingerprint, or facial recognition), end-to-end encryption during transmission and storage, and is protected via Amazon Web Services.
