Thank god you work in a small business, right? No bureaucratic hurdles to jump through just to be able to purchase some new coffee filters for the break room.

Unfortunately, most expense reporting software aren’t fans of this casual nature. It’s like every piece of software these days will not function unless you have a few yards of red tape you’re willing to string around the office.

Well, we here at ProOnGo understand that formalities might not always be necessary, and that what’s most important is getting the job done, not making sure you have followed all the steps.

That’s why we’ve given small businesses the option to ‘unformalize’ their expense adjudication. Adjudi-what? You know, approve or denying expenses.

If your small business expenses are hooked up with ProOnGo Expense, managers are given complete control over their employees expenses, and don’t have to wait on employees to ‘submit’ their expenses before they are included in an expense report.

With ProOnGo Expense, the manager just logs into the ProOnGo Web Portal and they instantly have access to their employees’ expenses. As the expenses are incurred by the employee, managers can edit, delete, approve or deny the expense, and populate it into an expense report.

So instead of waiting for employees to submit their expenses, managers just go and get ‘em. Stop wasting time and get your business running with ProOnGo Expense.

Many of our customers that come from other expense reporting solutions talk about the “black hole” that expense reports seem to go into, from the moment they are filed to the moment they are reimbursed.  Employees wait needlessly for expense reports to be processed/approved/denied, oftentimes with at best a murky picture of “which payroll run” the reimbursement might finally be included on.

ProOnGo can help.  If you are an employee submitting expense reimbursement requests through ProOnGo Expense, take a look at the Filter tab in the app, for an option that’s sure to give you the information you are looking for…

• Need to know precisely, in real-time, which expenses have been denied – so that you can clarify and resubmit?
• Need to know which expenses from your recent trip have been approved?
• Need to know your total “approved” T&E spend, year-to-date?
• Need to know how much money you have tied up in submitted, but not yet approved/denied, expenses?

For the answer to all of these questions, in real-time, tap the Filter tab and toggle on/off settings in the Expense States area.  Use it in combination with other filter settings (like date range, filter by category, etc), to get an even clearer picture.  Lastly, know that when you set the filter “just right” and return to the main expense list, the total sitting above the list will show the sum of just the set of expenses that you’ve filtered in on.  Enjoy!  Is your company still on an antiquated paper-based expense system?  Show your manager how easy expense reimbursement workflow can be, with ProOnGo.
