Where AI Actually Touches Your Expense Claims, Not Where We Wish It Did
We'd rather show exactly what the AI does than oversell it. Here's what's real today:
- 🧾OCR receipt scanningSnap a photo of the receipt and the system extracts the amount and vendor automatically, pre-filling the claim before submission.
- 💬AI Assistant, conversational expense queriesType or browse: "Show my pending claims", "What's my travel expense balance this month?" Available on web and mobile.
- ⚙️Rule-based approval routingClaims route automatically to the reporting head based on organization hierarchy, with configurable receipt and multi-level approval thresholds, not predictive guesswork.
Go Deeper Into Every Module
How a claim actually moves through the system, from policy setup to a payroll-ready reimbursement.
Expense Head & Claim Policy Setup
Admin creates custom expense categories from Settings → Expense Management → Expense Head, then configures limits and approval requirements per head from Manage Claim Policies. Expense heads become available in the mobile app as soon as they're created.
How It Works
- Create expense heads: Travel, Fuel, Meals, Accommodation, Communication, Daily Allowance
- Set a category code and whether receipt upload is mandatory or optional per head
- Configure maximum claim amount, approval level, and receipt threshold via Manage Claim Policies
- Claims are validated against these limits automatically at submission
Why It Matters
- Policy compliance by default, not by manual checking
- Consistent limits across every field team and territory
- One-time configuration that the mobile app reads automatically
| Expense Head | Max Amount | Receipt |
|---|---|---|
| Travel Expense | ₹5,000 / trip | Above ₹500 |
| Fuel & Vehicle | ₹2,000 / week | Mandatory |
