Expense management

Utilising the mobile app and OCR scanning.

As a not-for-profit entity and founding member of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), Motorsport UK is dedicated to growing and servicing the sport.


Challenges with previous expense process

Motorsport UK faced significant challenges with their previous expense management system.

The configuration process was particularly difficult, involving complex dropdowns, links to accounting codes, and issues with suitability for various stakeholders.

Also, the absence of crucial features like a mobile app and OCR scanning made the process cumbersome and inefficient.

"Our previous system was very difficult to configure in terms of the various dropdowns, links to accounting codes and suitability for our various stakeholders.

In addition, the features like mobile app and OCR scanning were also of significant interest as we did not have access to these features."

The cost model of the previous provider was another major pain point.

It included fixed fees for the number of users (whether active or not) and an additional fee per claim, making it less flexible and more costly.

Choosing ExpenseIn for enhanced efficiency

Having previously used ExpenseIn, Motorsport UK was already aware of its ease of use, straightforward configuration, and seamless deployment.

This familiarity played a key role in choosing ExpenseIn as the solution to their expense management issues.

"I had used ExpenseIn at a previous organisation (Prodrive) and was therefore aware of its ease of use, configuration and deployment."

"[The biggest benefits since using ExpenseIn are its] ease of use, configuration for back office and the mobile app."
