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.
AI & OCR Capabilities
Yooz's machine-learning-powered OCR extracts merchant, amount, date, and category from receipt images with high accuracy and supports 50+ languages, reducing manual data entry by up to 90%.
Real-Time Policy Enforcement
Pre-submission policy-violation alerts and configurable rules engine flag out-of-policy expenses in real time, enabling employees to correct errors before submission and reducing downstream approver workload.
Mobile User Experience
Native iOS and Android apps with offline receipt capture, push notifications, and single-swipe submission workflows are designed to make expense entry frictionless and fast.
Deployment Speed
Yooz's cloud-native architecture and pre-built connectors to major ERPs enable 3–6 month typical deployments, with phased rollout options for large enterprises.
Travel & Expense Integration
Partnerships with travel-booking platforms and corporate-card networks enable integrated pre-trip approval, booking capture, and automatic post-trip reconciliation, creating an end-to-end travel-expense workflow.
Analytics & Spend Visibility
Executive dashboards provide real-time spend analytics, policy-compliance trending, fraud-risk scoring, and outlier detection by department and cost center, enabling finance teams to identify control gaps and savings opportunities.
Global Expense Management Support
Multi-currency auto-conversion, per-diem calculations for 100+ countries, multi-entity consolidation, and locale-specific tax compliance enable seamless management of global workforces.
