Qentelli Joins Forces with Big Four Accounting Firm to Streamline Travel & Expense Processes, Enhancing Compliance and Increasing Transparency
Business Vertical:T&E- Dashboarding and reporting
Region:Global/International
Size of the firm:450,000+ employees
Main Challenge:One of our Strategic customers, with a lot of employees across the globe, was facing challenges in managing the travel and expense process. The challenge lies in tracking travel and expenses across various business segments and ensuring adherence to policies and local regulations as they have operations in dozens of countries.
ChallengeWith the rise of globalization, business travel has exploded, sending corporate travel costs soaring. Organizations worldwide are struggling to control these mounting expenses. For global companies operating in matrix structures across countries and business units, the challenges are even greater. Our client, a rapidly scaling global consulting firm, faced critical obstacles governing their travel spend: <ul class="c-links c-theme-ul"> <li>Minimal visibility into expenses across the complex organizational matrix, limiting spend analysis </li> <li>Decentralized, fragmented policy creation without central governance </li> <li>Difficulty enforcing compliance, with frequent violations going undetected </li> <li>Inability to monitor corporate card usage, enabling misuse and fraud </li> <li>Lack of controls during approvals caused delays from improper submissions </li> <li>Manual reporting couldn't keep pace with 20%+ annual expense growth </li></ul>These problems arose as the firm doubled in size over 5 years to 10,000+ employees worldwide. Their outdated processes could no longer provide the needed oversight amid exponential transaction growth. It became imperative to implement robust systems to master expense management.
Solution Proposed
Qentelli deployed a 4-phase approach to guide the client through transformation: <ul class="c-links c-theme-ul"> <li><strong>Discover </strong>- Detailed workshops and surveys uncovered pain points and requirements across stakeholders. As-is processes were documented and data samples were analyzed. </li> <li><strong>Strategize </strong>- Findings were synthesized to chart the optimal to-be state. The target reporting architecture, policy controls, and workflows were defined.</li> <li><strong>Implement </strong>- Concur configuration, custom reporting, integrations, and automations were rolled out in iterative sprints. Testing ensured readiness before go-live. </li> <li><strong>Sustain </strong>- Knowledge transfer empowered client self-sufficiency. Post go-live support resolved issues, improved solutions, and ensured enduring value. </li></ul>This structured methodology ensured alignment on goals through co-creation before driving execution.
