Gained Benefits Of A Corporate Card Program With Reconciliation

Automation: ARCH captures descriptive billing field information which feeds directly into your expense report and AP for simple reconciliation. AKA taking the burden off your employees manually loading their expense costs.

Insurance: A lot of people are unaware of some of the insurance headaches that can take place during business travel. Example: Joe Smith is the manager of Kathy Green. Joe books Kathy’s travel for her on his credit card. If Kathy’s airline loses her bags, she has no insurance coverage since it was Joe’s name on the credit line. ARCH eliminates this liability.

Funding: Employees no longer have to fund their corporate expenses on personal cards.

Make Expenses Easy For Current & New Hires

On average, we are seeing employees taking up to 3 hours to submit their expense reports. If you have 13 employees filling out timesheets, that could be an upwards of almost 40 hours spent on expense submissions. No company wants their employees wasting a full work week on expense submissions.

Having a centralized travel booking tool and credit card reconciliation process in place not only sets up your company travel program to be compliant and saves your employees time, it also allows you to have a system in place for potential growth.

Many of our customers have mentioned they are waiting to be awarded a new contract and need a compliant and automated travel program in place. There is no better time to set ARCH up than before your company grows. Having a system already in place will prevent unnecessary stress during the on boarding of your new employees.

Visibility Into Your Travel Spend & Travelers

Through the online portal, you will have access to simple reports incurred during an audit, including real time viewing of statements. Another awesome feature is the ability to track your travelers. You’ll be able to identify if your employees are safe if a crisis arises in real time!

Affordable & User Friendly

Your current processes are costly and time consuming and this may delay business growth. A successful business is constantly changing and putting new processes in place to ensure you’re not wasting time, money and resources.  ARCH’s automation solves problems and provides saving opportunity. It is affordable, easy to use and (on average 6 months) the system basically pays for itself with the amount you end up saving on travel costs.
