From Paper to Pixels: Hunter Douglas' Expense Reporting Evolution

Hunter Douglas chose Mobilexpense for digital expense reporting. The starting point was a user-friendly solution for their employees and a transparent process. Veronica van der Pol, HR officer, explains how the choice for Mobilexpense was made and what the results have been so far.

Pain points and challenges

Until a few years ago, Hunter Douglas still used paper-based expense forms and receipts that were sent through internal mail. Once an employee submitted their expenses, visibility of the status and timing of payment was lost. Hunter Douglas wanted to change this and reduce the administrative burden for their employees while making the expense process more transparent. 

Why Mobilexpense

Hunter Douglas spoke with multiple providers and assessed the costs and possibilities offered. Ultimately, Hunter Douglas chose Mobilexpense due to its innovative approach and ability to deliver a customised solution that perfectly aligns with the unique requirements of the company. 

This meant that specific requirements could still be customised, and Mobilexpense provided the best price-quality ratio. 

Expense management requirements

  • A highly user-friendly solution 
  • Easy to use with a clear process (no possibility for employees to submit incorrectly) 
  • Simple solution for mileage reimbursement 

Mobilexpense tool implementation

One of the key benefits of the Mobilexpense solution is its user-friendly online web application, allowing users to independently manage a variety of tasks.

Furthermore, a file was provided with all declarants, and Mobilexpense loaded it into the system in one go, enabling all employees to start working immediately. 

Impact

Employees noticed a significant difference in the speed of reimbursement. If an expense report is submitted on Wednesday, it can often be included in the payments by Friday of the same week.  

The paperwork has been reduced, and digital expense submission is much more modern. Mileage claims can be quickly entered and processed in the payroll administration. Finally, having a clear view of the remaining balance in the Work-Related Expenses Scheme (WKR) adds an extra layer of convenience to the entire expense management process.
