Application Use Cases

The Situation: Businesses use expense management automation tools to collect and audit employees’ reimbursable business expenses and to make these disbursements. The tools require employees to prepare a report that details these expenses. In most cases, employees or their assistants must input the relevant information manually. Significant time is spent in this process. The inherent lack of accuracy in this process causes businesses to expend resources to audit expense reports and results in employees failing to be reimbursed fully or on a timely basis.
The Itemize API Edge: The Itemize API expense management automation tool automatically captures data from the reimbursable receipt in less than 20 seconds with 95% accuracy and enters the data in the expense reimbursement report. The receipt data extraction tool eliminates manual entry. Costs decrease and efficiency and accuracy increase, in each case dramatically. An added benefit: employees have a significantly more user-friendly expense reimbursement experience.
The Situation: Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) are outsourced managers of all talent management and HR tasks, which include disbursing paychecks and expense reimbursements to employees. PEOs do not use automated expense management tools to collect and audit employees’ reimbursable business expenses, instead collecting and auditing manually and to make these disbursements. The tools require PEO’s clients to prepare a report that details these expenses. In most cases, employees or their assistants must input the relevant information manually. And in most
cases, the PEO does not maintain the original document and audit trail.

The Situation: Market research companies seek to determine which consumers are buying, where and what they are buying, and how much they are spending overall. Marketers use research results to adjust their campaigns to better reach, attract and incentivize consumers.
