Is your expense management process holding you back and costing you money? Our free, downloadable Centtrip Guide can help.
Can your field teams respond quickly to opportunities or obstacles as they arise?
Life on the road is fast-paced and situations often can’t wait for a telephoned approval, especially across time zones.
“Just let me check with my boss” doesn't cut it anymore.
If your organization still relies on a reclaim system (and four in ten organizations do), field staff may be reluctant (or unable) to spend personal funds to resolve a situation.
As international PR expert, and Centtrip client, José Neif Jury says:
“Empowerment is the key to everything. When people know the company has their backs, they feel empowered and motivated, and they get things done. But, if you ask them to pay from their own pocket and say you’ll reimburse them, that's a different story.”
A further problem is that expenditure by road warriors is invisible until you get the claim form in the middle of next month.
And, relying on either company credit cards or expense claims is probably costing you money through process time, errors, lost receipts, compliance and tax reclaim issues.
Whether you manage a consultancy, a fleet of charter yachts or an on-location film crew, the challenge is the same: how do you enable and empower highly mobile teams while maintaining visibility and control?
