Gorilla Expense
Holistic T&E Capture, Management, and Reporting

The use of legacy, paper-bound methods of expense reporting can be a complicated affair for any organization, especially if their workforce does a lot of traveling. In today’s world of globalization, every company houses traveling workforce in varying degrees. And it is imperative that they require seamless solution stack for expense reporting. To this end, Gorilla Expense, a Georgia-based firm digitizes the entire process by leveraging its technical expertise and long-standing experience of its management team in the T&E and travel management arena. “We take the pain out of expense reporting through our clean, simple and powerful application providing complete visibility of T&E spend and offering savings through automation of expense management,” says Pranav Kulkarni, CTO of Gorilla Expense. Being attentive in hiring the best talent to deliver prompt support and develop the best-in-class products, and adopting the industry-best processes, the firm positions itself among the key players in the online T&E management solution providers.

Gorilla Expense identifies that legacy expense reporting methods can adversely affect enterprises’ productivity and diverts their focus from the core operations. Sales teams spend several hours in creating expense reports in Excel sheets rather than following up their customers. Lack of organized methods can also create several errors while tallying incurred expenses, reduces visibility, and delays approval. Thus, traditional paper-based methods hurdle payments and remittances.

Zealous to help enterprises get a better handle on corporate spending Gorilla Expense offers intuitive and straightforward expense reporting tool that has its core focus on usability and people. It is an online PCI compliant, secure, and cloud-based solution that can be accessed via browsers or a smartphone app. Data added into the system is maintained and managed on Microsoft Azure, ensuring high-end customer privacy. The offering allows users to submit e-receipts from their mobile device or from a computer eliminating the need to carry paper receipts. Its Receipt Box feature helps users to sync receipts across all devices and web app automatically without filling their phone’s photo gallery with hundreds of receipt images.

Storing receipts in a readable format makes the process much quicker, increasing productivity exponentially. This tool is empowered by Artificial Intelligence, which helps in extracting data from receipts automatically.

Additionally, Gorilla Expense’s in-built advanced reporting capability enables stakeholders to create ad-hoc reports providing valuable slicing & dicing of T&E data to help them make informed decisions. It is incorporated with a multi-level approval system with electronic routing and allows users can choose to work with more than 140 foreign currencies. The solution’s in-built audit trail capability captures changes made at multiple levels and helps to identify, tackle, and deter potential frauds.

Automated integration with several accounting systems of Microsoft such as Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, Dynamics SL, Dynamics 365, along with Sage X3, 300 and Sage 300 CRE makes Gorilla Expense unique among its competitors. It can also successfully integrate with several third-party systems for payroll, document, and file management. Recognizing the potential of Gorilla Expense’s novel solution stack, several enterprises continue to partner with the firm; CA-based document delivery and automation provider, Instant Info Systems being one among them. Leveraging its edge Gorilla Expense enabled them to automate the expense workflow using both mobile and web applications, which have proven to be very convenient for everyone involved. The e-Routing of expense reports for approval proved to be very efficient following the engagement.

Envisioning the future, what Gorilla Expense has on the anvil is the plan to expand its geographical base. “We are planning to partner with payroll providers and integrate our system with theirs to offer plain sailing payment processes,” concludes Kulkarni.
