At work, administrative tasks with no added value are frustrating: spending one's Friday afternoon filling out confusing expense reports or searching for the right hotel fall into this category. Employees and companies deserve to focus on what really matters. In order to drive efficiency and enable better ways to work, Rydoo launches its end-to-end platform; through two modules, it streamlines the entire Business Travel and Expense process:
- Rydoo Expense allows employees to enjoy the snap-and-process feature. They just take a picture of their receipt and the process is fully automated and paperless while complying with company's policy. Finance teams easily manage expenses in real-time and control the organization's budget. Rydoo Expense saves time for everyone: employees, manager, controllers.
- Rydoo Travel helps employees book the hotel and flights that suit their needs, in compliance with the travel policy of their organization. They can choose from among 800,000 accommodation options and benefit from a dashing user experience.
As a result, organizations gain:
- an 87% reduction in processing cost
