Built from the start with artificial intelligence specifically designed for finance, its mature, domain-specific AI platform has been trained on over 60 million transactions. Expense Audit complements and integrates with most major expense management systems, including Chrome River, SAP Concur, and Workday, to extract information and perform real-time audits of every line item in your expense reports. It cross-references those reports with every receipt and thousands of online sources, to catch duplicates, out-of-policy spend, suspicious merchants or attendees, and excessive spend. It identifies and automatically approves low-risk expense reports and invoices, so approvers need only focus on high-risk items, saving thousands of hours of time and effort. Its AI-first platform, the foundation of all AppZen products, provides standard AI models that cover the most common expense audit scenarios. (A model is a mathematical formula that attempts to replicate the specific decision process an expert finance team would make if they could review every piece of available data.) Expense Audit also has the flexibility to extend those standard models and configure new AI models to meet your company’s specific policy requirements, a capability that makes it unique to the industry. Expense Audit also provides analytics for dynamic, AI-driven spend insights on audited spend data. It provides a view of spend, risk, and risk-management operational performance, with standard and customizable charts, dashboards, and metrics. Analytics provide standard benchmarks to match your company’s performance against your industry peers, enabling finance managers to identify areas of excellence and opportunity. In addition, Team Intelligence allows managers visibility into the spend of their team. This feature gives finance teams the ability to review analytics with easy-to-use spend dashboards, enabling data-driven conversations about high-risk behaviors. And it allows managers to investigate non-compliance and wasteful spend trends, using key metrics to pinpoint opportunities for change. The knowledge of AppZen’s highly-rated support teams is also at your fingertips. Experts in both artificial intelligence and finance, they provide a single point of contact for rapid response times and hourly updates on urgent issues.
