Overview

The client wanted to digitise their travel and expense approval process, which previously relied on email chains and manual tracking. The goal was a mobile-friendly application that could handle submission, multi-level approval, and integration with finance systems.

The Challenge

Travel and expense claims were submitted via email with attachments, approved manually by line managers, and then forwarded to finance. This process was slow, lacked visibility, and made it difficult to enforce spending policies or track budgets in real time.

Our Solution

Synapx delivered a Power Apps canvas application where employees submit expense claims with receipt photos, travel details, and cost breakdowns. Power Automate manages the approval workflow, routing claims based on value thresholds and department hierarchy.

The solution includes automatic policy validation, budget checks against department allocations, and integration with the finance system for payment processing.

The Result

Approval cycles were reduced from days to hours, with full visibility for both submitters and approvers at every stage.

Finance teams gained real-time budget tracking and eliminated the manual re-keying of approved claims into their accounting system.
