SaaS-based Expense Management platform automates per diem request-to-payment lifecycle

Client: Live music event production company

Business challenge:  The growing armies of seasonal workers required to execute the Company’s multiple annual large festival events was significantly increasing the processing and cash requirements of the necessary per diem expense needs.  The existing manual and cash-based process was risky and not able to keep up with the growth, and without an automated request submission>approval>payment processing platform, the department could not scale to the needs.

Agility services: Consulting

Agility engagement:  Agility’s initial engagement was to lead and manage an evaluation and selection of a new Expense Management platform to address the seasonal worker per diem requirements.  This included requirements definition/documentation, identification of vendors and evaluation of the vendors against the defined requirements.

The Emburse Certify SaaS-based platform was ultimately selected and implemented.  Agility provided all project management services to drive the configuration, implementation, testing and rollout of the platform, working closely with the Company’s Finance team and IT where necessary.

Business Outcome:  Can we quote an reduction in time/effort, ability to process X% more with same staff??
