Apps Apps Apps – Q1 2022

Adding the right applications to your business can streamline operations, create efficient processes and save you time and money.  But where to start?  There are 1,000’s of applications out there, many solving the same or similar issues.  Each month, we research, trial, and review dozens of applications; constantly searching for the ideal solutions for our clients.  We have an internal rule that any application we recommend must solve at least three problems.

Each quarter, members of the MATAX team pick their favorite.  Here are the selections for the quarter.

Dan’s Pick:

Airbase Reimbursements

The spend management platform Airbase has released yet another powerful feature that can help consolidate your app stack & save your company money - you can now reimburse your employees for out-of-pocket expenses through the Airbase platform. Employees can now request reimbursements by uploading or emailing receipts to their Airbase reimbursements inbox. As a business owner, you will have a simple-yet-detailed array of controls to create a reimbursement & approval policy that suits your company's needs (such as all reimbursements must require a receipt, setting dollar thresholds on expenses, and prohibiting reimbursements in certain expense categories).

This really shines when used in conjunction with the other features that Airbase has to offer. With Airbase you can now manage your company card spend, payables, & employee reimbursements for an all-inclusive spend management experience with powerful control & automation.

Pricing: Starts with a free platform & custom pricing is quoted based on company needs.
