Expense Management Module

Better-governed expenses. More reliable processing.

Sigmia’s Expense Management module centralizes receipts, rules, approvals and reimbursements. It supports your organization’s expense policies, taxes, currencies and payment methods.

The Challenges

When rules multiply, every expense requires more control

Expense claims may involve several rate schedules, taxes, currencies, cards and approval levels. Without a shared process, controls multiply and traceability becomes fragmented.

Without the module

  • Receipts are submitted in several formats

  • Rate schedules and taxes are verified manually

  • Corporate-card transactions are reconciled separately

  • Exchange rates come from different sources

  • Policies are applied inconsistently

With the module

  • Receipts are centralized and digitized

  • Calculations follow configured rules

  • Card expenses are reconciled

  • Currencies use updated exchange rates

  • Policies are integrated into controls

Assistance that reduces repetitive verification

Sigmia AI helps extract and structure receipt information. It flags selected discrepancies, while acceptance or rejection remains the responsibility of authorized individuals.

  • Extract amounts, taxes, dates and currencies
  • Identify duplicates and inconsistencies
  • Support the application of expense policies
