Why Expensify works
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Expensify to track all of our driven miles and travel/on the road purchases. This process helps to streamline reimbursement for those in the field while they are visiting multiple sites, booking flights, and anything travel related. The scope of my Expensify usage comes from tracking meals and day to day activities to help my company not only reimburse employees but also track effectiveness of spending.
Pros
- Expensify is really good at providing a simple system to log your expenses.
- Expensify does a great job at identifying possible reimbursement denials like duplicate expenses and errors in log.
- Expensify stays up to date on reimbursement coding like those used for gas usage by mile
Cons
- Expensify can be less strict about duplicate logs as sometimes you get the same meal twice when traveling and it shows it as an error.
- Expensify could showcase possible location services like Motus does for gas consumption logging.
- Expensify could be better about telling me when my reimbursement should be expected.
Likelihood to Recommend
I travel a lot where sometimes I will spend $4000 a week so it is great to get it logged with ease so that I can quickly get reimbursed. This suits my work/remote work situation well as I am not always able to utilize company funds as I may be a whole state or timezone away.
