Expense

Less hassle,
more time

The expense claims process often causes a fair amount of frustration. Receipts get lost, forms are unclear, and the Finance department doesn’t have enough time to approve them. Elari makes the process easier and faster.

With an Elari Card, you pay right away. No advance payment, no forms. You’ll only need to submit an expense claim for situations where you don’t have your card, such as travel expenses. Elari calculates those automatically.

Elari Expense is not a standalone expense claim tool or a standalone payment card solution. It combines payments, expense claims, and auditing in a single centralised environment. Because it’s part of the broader Elari platform, you can easily expand to a complete Purchase to Pay solution, including, for example, digital purchase requests, contract management, and touchless invoice processing. This way, your expense claims process doesn’t operate in isolation but as part of an organisation-wide spending platform.

Our rule of thumb: use payment cards whenever possible, and submit expense claims when necessary. Payment cards are ideal for everyday or predictable expenses, such as groceries or fuel. Expense claims are still intended for exceptions, such as travel expenses incurred using your own car.

Employees submit expense claims via the app or web version. Approval is a one-click process, based on the authorisations your organisation sets up. You decide whether to approve claims by expense type, by department, or by transaction date.

No, that's no longer necessary. Employees take a photo of the receipt in the app, and the information is then processed automatically. The paper receipt can be discarded afterwards.

Yes, Elari integrates with a wide range of accounting software programs, including Visma.net Financials, AFAS, Exact, and Twinfield. This ensures that expense claims and payments fit seamlessly into your existing financial workflow.

We meet the highest standards in data security. Elari is ISAE 3402 Type 2 certified, complies with the ISO 27001 standard, and adheres to all GDPR requirements. You decide who within your organisation has access to which data.

Common signs include: employees who have to wait a long time for advances to be reimbursed, a lot of manual verification by the accounting department, or confusion about who has already submitted which expenses. Does this sound familiar? If so, it’s probably time to go digital.

That depends on your organisation and the number of users. Elari uses a fixed implementation fee and a pay-per-use model, so you only pay for what you actually use. View pricing here.
