Expense Management Software for Manufacturing Companies
The Expense Management Problem in Manufacturing
Manufacturing companies lose an average of $10,900 per year due to inefficient expense management, with sales managers wasting 4+ hours per week on receipt approvals.
A survey of manufacturing companies found that 75% of managers spend more than 2 hours per day on administrative tasks, including expense management, taking away from core business activities.
The average manufacturing company has 15-20 employees submitting expenses, resulting in 300-400 receipts per month, which can be overwhelming to manage manually.
- Manual expense tracking leads to 21% of receipts being lost or misplaced, resulting in $2,100 in lost reimbursements per year.
- Inaccurate expense reporting leads to 15% of expenses being misclassified, resulting in $1,500 in incorrect tax deductions per year.
Contrarian claim: Implementing a generic expense management tool can actually increase costs by 10% in the first year due to setup and training time.
What Manufacturing Managers Need That Generic Tools Miss

A 1-click approval process can reduce approval time by 90%, saving managers 3.6 hours per week.
A real-time spend dashboard provides managers with instant visibility into company expenses, enabling data-driven decisions and reducing costs by 12%.

- Manufacturing companies need an expense management software that integrates with their existing accounting systems, such as QuickBooks, NetSuite, Xero, and SAP Concur.

Contrarian claim: The majority of manufacturing companies do not need a card-first expense management solution, as it can lead to 20% of employees misusing company funds.
