Every business has expenses, which of course have to be processed and dealt with — be it using Excel or an expense management software. Most businesses still rely on paper-based reporting, which is impossible to automate and extremely slow to process. Instead of paper-based expense reporting, a dedicated cloud-based travel & expense management solution like Zento will make life much easier for your HRA & Finance departments. Here are six reasons you should cut out paper-based reporting all together:
Humans make mistakes, software doesn’t.
Even the most meticulous humans can make mistakes. They forget to double check their receipts, enter something twice, or forget to enter it at all.

One of the biggest benefits of expense reporting software like Zento is the ability for administrators and other auditing parties to have greater access to relevant information. Zento will even let administrators set up policies that make it impossible for employees to break essential expense reporting rules.

Paper-based reporting is a time-sink for employees, for managers, and for your accounting department. Automated reporting software makes the entire process much more efficient which allows everyone to get back to work faster.
Save Paper.
Automated, online expense reports and other paperwork related to the expense management process can be drastically reduced or eliminated altogether. This results in a two-pronged benefit: you reduce your company’s impact on the env
