Ask both of them

From the Expense management guide. Put the same questions to each vendor and compare the answers against your checklist.

  • Show a receipt captured on a phone, matched to a card transaction, coded and posted to our ledger.
  • Configure one of our policy rules live and show what the employee sees when they break it.
  • Show the approver's view on a phone, and what happens when the approver is away.
  • How are receipts stored, and can we export them with their images?
  • What happens to an expense in a foreign currency, from capture to reimbursement?
  • What does pricing count as a user: anyone invited, or anyone who submits?
