Introducing Rho Expense Management

Why Expense Management is Challenging

As a cornerstone of corporate finance, expense management is often seen as a complex task that has to be meticulously managed. It extends from organizing credit cards, generating precise expense reports, and ensuring stringent expense policy compliance. Traditional corporate card systems lack robust controls, exacerbating these challenges and leaving businesses wrestling with policy compliance and oversight - particularly employee expenses.

Our latest survey paints a vivid picture of the prevalent challenges, revealing that 68% of mid-sized company employees still rely heavily on antiquated tools like Excel and email for expense submissions.

Despite the proliferation of expense management platforms in the market, including Expensify, Zoho Expense, and Certify, businesses still face hurdles. Many organizations are grappling with solutions that do not provide user-friendliness or efficiency. As a result, employees and finance teams spend considerable time working through cumbersome software, culminating in inefficient data entry and report generation processes, ultimately choking the whole expense management system.

A streamlined expense management solution that combines meticulous expense tracking, a seamless, user-friendly interface, and robust expense categorization is necessary to solve the current challenges. Added to this, the solution needs to address reimbursement delays to enhance the finance operation efficiency and boost employee morale.

Why Legacy Expense Management Software Providers Fall Short

Legacy expense reporting software solutions like SAP Concur and Emburse often fall short in providing a comprehensive workflow. These legacy expense management tools might be clunky, not user-friendly, and lack real-time functionality - rendering the whole process ineffective and inefficient. Have you ever experienced the pain of filling out a Concur expense report?

Even when attempts have been made to rectify this with newer platforms, they often offer partial solutions and overlook the demand for a fresher, all-in-one expense management software that respects the nuances of dynamic business operations.

This has led to long-drawn processes around expense report submissions, causing frustrations amongst employees who have to deal with outdated systems and finance teams that must ensure strict policy compliance while managing and reconciling expense records.

Acknowledging these gaps, Rho aims to blend ease of use with the comprehensive functionality required in today's fast-paced business environment.

How Rho Expense Management is different

Rho offers a fundamentally unique solution that sets it apart from traditional practices. Businesses have long relied on waiting for credit card statements to reconcile transactions. They use outdated expense software that often creates hassle than ease, compounded by the never-ending chase for employees to submit their expense reports.

Rho's novel approach integrates these traditionally separate, time-consuming tasks into a seamlessly unified and automated system. With Rho, you can issue unlimited physical and virtual cards with customizable spend controls, and all Rho Card transaction data will sync in real time to our platform. Thanks to our accounting integrations with NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, month-end close has never been easier.

A standout within Rho’s approach is its ability to offer real-time data flow. Every transaction through Rho's virtual or physical cards updates data instantly—turning reconciliation from a post-month-end chore to a pre-close automated process.
