Advanced Reporting Services
Organisations running their T&E and Invoice Management processes in an automated platform strive to evaluate the achievement of their corporate goals through quantifiable measures. The ability to generate meaningful reports and derive Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is crucial, especially when assessing the effectiveness of projects or sales initiatives. Managers can create Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for various categories of T&E and P2P compliance reports to gauge the performance of individual employees and drill-down on spend metrics across the following reporting categories:
Accrual
Expense Accrual Reports (outstanding liabilities etc.)
Trips
Employee Travel and Itinerary Analysis
Audit
Report Level Exception Analysis and Auditing reports
Administration
Billed Transaction Reconciliation, Employee Details, Travel Configurations
Compliance
Adoption reports, Attendee analysis, Entry Level Exception Analysis, Top Exception Violators
Expense Processing
Approver Statistics, Expense Analysis, Un-submitted Expense Reporting
Finance
Credit Card Transaction and Cash Advance Analysis, Voided Travel
Vendor
Airfare, Car Rental & Hotel Analysis, Common City Pair Trips
Spending
Vendor Analysis, Top Spenders by Expense Type, and Employee
Invoice
Invoice Request Reporting
There are many reasons why meaningful reports and derived KPIs including those reviewing spending and tracking adherence to T&E and P2P policies are crucial to assisting our customers' growth.
Here are the key benefits:
Ability to measure targets
KPIs are not goals or targets themselves, but they provide a means of measuring them. By measuring goals with KPIs, clients can identify areas of improvement and make informed decisions to reach targets more efficiently.
Create a learning environment
Measuring targets with KPIs creates an opportunity for an educative atmosphere within our clients' companies. Data generated from KPIs can lead to important conversations within the workplace, enabling clients to teach employees how to perform better and reach set targets.
Receive valuable information
KPI reporting provides an immediate snapshot of overall organisational performance. Real-time data from KPIs enables organisations to make systematic adjustments, preventing them from making frantic changes or taking urgent steps at the end of each period to reach their goals.
Encourage accountability
KPI reporting reveals vital statistics about performance, enabling organisations to make accurate decisions about employees during reviews. KPIs provide quantifiable proof of an employee's performance, preventing organisations from making inaccurate assumptions about an employee's engagement or performance.
Boost morale
Employee motivation and job satisfaction are crucial to improving company performance and culture. Meeting KPIs creates a sense of purpose and keeps employees focussed on meeting their goals, boosting morale and motivation. Positive reports for meeting KPIs in the interim can be highly rewarding and motivating for employees, providing quick and consistent results.
