AI & OCR Capabilities

Basware leverages intelligent OCR to automatically extract merchant, amount, category, and tax information from receipt images, with machine-learning models trained on millions of global receipts. The system achieves high accuracy on receipts in multiple languages and can identify duplicate submissions.

Real-Time Policy Enforcement

As employees enter expenses on mobile, Basware immediately flags policy violations, spending limit overages, and missing receipt requirements, with contextual guidance on how to correct them before submission. This reduces downstream approval rejections and resubmissions.

Mobile User Experience

The mobile app prioritizes speed and simplicity—employees can snap a receipt, enter amount/date, and submit in under 60 seconds. Offline capability allows capture without connectivity, and the interface adapts to common use cases (meals, travel, accommodation) to reduce manual data entry.

Deployment Speed

Basware's cloud-native architecture and pre-built connectors enable faster go-live than traditional on-premise solutions. Organizations typically achieve expense submission functionality within 4–6 weeks, with full travel integration and card reconciliation within 8–12 weeks.

Travel & Expense Integration

Unlike standalone expense tools, Basware unifies travel booking requests, pre-trip approvals, expense submission, and reimbursement in a single workflow. Integration with major GDS (Amadeus, Sabre) and booking platforms (Concur, Expedia) allows per-diem rules to reflect actual travel dates and destinations.

Analytics & Spend Visibility

Dashboard provides real-time spend by employee, department, cost center, and category, with trend analysis, outlier detection, and forecasting against budget. Executive reports support drill-down to transaction level for audit and compliance reviews.

Global Expense Management Support

Basware supports 150+ currencies with real-time conversion, configurable multi-currency receipt submission, and per-diem rules by country and city. Integration with global corporate card networks and regional payment gateways enables reimbursement in local currencies.

Customer Base

Mid-market to large enterprise organizations across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific; typical customers include financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, and professional services firms with 500+ employees.
