Cimmra
Employee expenses are the spend category everyone touches and nobody owns. Claims arrive as photos and spreadsheets, policy is enforced from memory, and finance reconciles it all at month end.
Cimmra brings expenses onto the same platform as the rest of your spend: receipts captured at the point of claim, policy limits checked at entry, and approvals routed through the engine your organization already uses for purchase requests.
OCR receipt capture and mileage
Employees photograph receipts and OCR reads them into digital claims, with mileage and per-diem entries computed from policy rates.
Policy enforced at entry
Limits by category, grade, and location are checked when the claim is entered, with violations flagged before submission.
Approvals and reimbursement
Claims route through configurable approval chains and hand off to payroll or AP for on-time reimbursement.
How it works
- An employee enters a claim and attaches receipts.
- Policy checks run at entry, flagging violations with reasons.
- The claim routes through the approval chain automatically.
- Approved claims flow to payroll or AP for reimbursement.
Frequently asked questions
How is expense policy enforced?
Limits by category, employee grade, and location are checked when the claim is entered. Violations are flagged with the specific rule, and exceptions route for higher approval.
Can employees claim on mobile?
Claims and receipt photos can be captured from any device through the browser, at the moment the expense happens.
Does OCR read the receipts automatically?
Yes. Receipt photos and PDFs are read by OCR and converted into digital claim lines, so employees confirm the details instead of typing them.
How does reimbursement work?
Approved claims hand off to payroll or accounts payable, and employees see the status of every claim from submission to payment.
Do expense approvals use the same engine as purchase requests?
Yes. The same rule-based routing engine drives both, so your approval hierarchy is defined once and applied consistently.
