PayStream’s Travel & Expense Benchmarking Report April 2013

This survey report is designed to:

• Help accounting and finance practitioners familiarize themselves with the current Travel & Expense Management (TEM) landscape;

• Allow companies to benchmark their operations against similar businesses.

7 Footnote: PayStream’s Travel and Expense Management Benchmark Survey was conducted in Q1 2011

Page 8: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

Spend on TEM is growing

Page 9: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

The Top 5 Benchmarks

• Use of Automation

• Policy Expense Leakage

• Travel Management Company Compliance

• Cost per Voucher

• Electronic Settlement

Page 10: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

Cost Control Pressure • Economy is focused attention on cost

reduction

• Company’s should focus on “where the money is”

• …not trying to get blood out of a stone

The economic downturn may not be considered a trend; but, pressure on cost has permeated corporate travel and spend management.

Page 11: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

Manual data entry and inefficient processes are the biggest challenges in the manual T&E process, followed by inability to enforce corporate travel policies and lack of visibility into spend.

What are the biggest challenges your organization faces in the expense management process?

Page 12: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

Policy Mandates

• Take the spend policy off the shelf.

• The business case for mandating usage of tools which provide immediate spend visibility is clear.

• Improved compliance and supplier management drives control and reduces cost.

Mandating policy, such as the use of spend solutions…now the rule rather than the exception.

Page 13: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

Employee Purchases Meals, gifts, incentives, services, supplies,

fees, maintenance, utilities, etc.

Business Travel Airfare, car, hotel, meals,

entertainment, etc.

Expense Reports

P-Card

Invoices

Are you capturing all your employee spend?

Page 14: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

Policy Mandates Only 31 percent mandate the use of corporate cards, but this is up 10 percent in the last 3 years.

Which of the following automation features do you currently use?

Approval is going mobile

Page 16: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

What are the biggest benefits you have achieved with your TEM Solution?

Benefits? Lower Processing Costs Ranks #1

Page 17: [Slides] 5 Benchmarks for Travel Expense Management Success : by Paystream advisors for SAP Cloud for Travel

High Costs = Compelling Opportunity

Manual data entry and inefficient processes nearly triple the cost of managing expense reports.
