According to the survey data of Shanghai National Accounting Institute, from 20 16 to 2020, the overall expense ratio of A-share listed companies will increase from 20.6% to 26.5%, and the high expense ratio will almost become a dilemma for enterprises. Many large state-owned enterprises have shouted the slogan of establishing a cost control system of "budget, authorization, cost control and inspection", and enterprises such as real estate, e-commerce and finance have also strengthened cost control.
The present situation and pain points of enterprise expense management;
0 1? It is difficult to break through the financial function.
A large number of transactional bills, document review and accounting work occupy the expense manager's time, and there is no way to free his energy from all kinds of complicated work;
02? Industry and finance are not unified.
The final process of internal business system and financial system is not closed-loop, and business errors are difficult to track;
03? Business process is not unified
The process of parent company or group headquarters and subordinate companies is not uniform, and the configuration work overlaps, which is not conducive to unified management;
04? Insufficient budget control ability
Control is managed by people, not only the budget, but also various internal controls and audits, all of which have to be done by people. The audit is strict, but it cannot be done manually. The audit is loose and the control is not in place;
05? Mental deficiency
Enterprise financial processing flow is not automatic and intelligent enough, so it is difficult to improve the efficiency of manual bookkeeping and voucher inquiry;

06? Precision control

Control can be strong or weak, so that one person, one thing and one standard can be achieved.
07? Flexible operation mode
Innovatively introduce the purchasing concept of "contracting for work but not materials" in the decoration field, and initiate the separation mode of supply and service. Enterprises can flexibly choose light operation, heavy operation or comprehensive operation according to actual demand and capital flow to ensure the efficient operation of the platform.
08? Humanized experience
Innovative platform experience models, such as flexible standards, self-payment for exceeding the standard, self-saving, personal reasons, family benefits, credit reimbursement, etc., promote and attract employees to actively participate in the process of travel expenses control.
Summary: In the traditional mode, financial processes and transactions are separated. After a wave of centralized reimbursement at the end of the month, the management of the company knew how much it had spent this month. This management mode of realizing expenses "afterwards" rather than "beforehand" through reimbursement makes the management and control of enterprise expenses often superficial and cannot help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency to a greater extent. Enterprises need not only a platform for centralized consumption and procurement, but also a platform for reimbursement afterwards, and a full-process service platform for cost control that combines enterprise expenses and management requirements.
