  • Receipt capture — employees snap a photo of any receipt and Avidia's OCR engine automatically extracts the merchant, date, amount, and currency — no manual typing.
  • Multi-currency — submit claims in any currency. Avidia automatically converts to the company's base currency using live exchange rates at the time of submission.
  • Expense categories — classify every line item against a configurable category tree and assign to the correct project or department automatically.
  • Real-time policy checks — per-category spending limits and per-diem rules are enforced at submission — employees are warned before they exceed policy, not after.
Approval Workflow

Configurable approvals, without the bottlenecks

Route claims through the right approvers every time, with no manual chasing and no claims getting lost in inboxes.

  • Multi-level approval chains — define approval routing by amount threshold, department, or expense category. Route small claims directly to finance; escalate large ones through management first.
  • Auto-escalation rules — if an approver doesn't act within the configured window, the claim is automatically escalated to the next person in the chain — no claims get stuck.
  • Policy violation flagging — claims that breach limits are automatically flagged with the specific rule violated, giving approvers the context to accept with justification or reject.
  • Full audit trail — every approval action, comment, and decision is timestamped and stored — giving finance and compliance teams a complete, exportable history.

  • Auto-sync to payroll — approved expense claims are automatically pushed to the next payroll run. No manual CSV uploads, no reconciliation spreadsheets, no re-entry.
  • Pay in payslip or separately — choose to reimburse through the regular payslip or trigger a standalone transfer — configurable per company, department, or claim type.
  • Spend analytics & budgets — track expense spend by category, department, project, and employee in real time. Set budget alerts before limits are hit, not after.
  • One-click finance export — export fully reconciled expense data to your accounting system in standard formats — GL-ready, VAT-split, and audit-ready.

Expenses — common questions

How do employees submit expense claims?
Employees snap a photo of their receipt in the Avidia mobile app, fill in the amount, category, and description, and submit in under a minute. The receipt is stored digitally — no paper or email chains needed.
Does Avidia support multi-currency expense reimbursements?
Yes. Employees can submit claims in any currency. Avidia converts amounts to your base currency for accounting, and employees are reimbursed in their local currency. Exchange rates can be set manually or pulled automatically.
How does the expense approval workflow work?
Claims route to the relevant approver automatically based on rules you configure — by amount, category, department, or manager level. You can set multi-level approval chains for larger claims.
Can approved expenses feed directly into payroll?
Yes. Once approved, expense reimbursements can be included in the next payroll run automatically — no manual exports needed. Finance teams can also route reimbursements through a separate payment run if preferred.
Is there an audit trail for submitted and approved expenses?
Every claim, approval, rejection, and modification is logged with a timestamp and user. Receipts are stored securely and retrievable at any time — making audits and compliance checks straightforward.
