What is Emburse Enterprise?

Emburse Enterprise is the enterprise expense and invoice-management product that replaces the former Chrome River name. Emburse states that the renaming does not change the product’s expense and invoice functionality, workflows, interface, or support; existing Chrome River customers use the same product under Emburse branding.

The platform provides Expense Management for employee travel and business expenses, including receipt capture, policy checks, approval routing, reimbursements, corporate-card data, and reporting. Its Accounts Payable capabilities capture, route, match, approve, and process supplier invoices and purchase orders.

Key Capabilities

  • Configurable policy and approval rules: A business-rules engine evaluates expense and invoice items against organization-specific policies, then determines the appropriate approval route. Finance teams can update rules as policies and routing requirements change.
  • Expense reporting and reimbursement: Employees can create expense reports, upload receipts, allocate costs across accounts or projects, and submit expenses from a mobile or web interface. The platform supports corporate-card integration, cash advances, personal expenses, mileage, and billable-expense policies.
  • Invoice automation: Emburse Invoice Enterprise captures invoice data with optical character recognition (OCR), applies workflow rules, and supports two- and three-way matching against purchase orders and goods receipts. Exceptions can be routed to purchasing, receiving, or requesters for resolution.
  • Purchase-order workflows: The optional purchase-order module supports requisition creation, supporting-document attachment, approval routing, and conversion of approved requisitions into purchase orders.
  • Analytics and integrations: Emburse Enterprise provides dashboards and configurable reporting for travel-and-expense spending, invoice status, volumes, and cycle times. It connects with enterprise resource planning (ERP), human resources information system (HRIS), banking, card-gateway, and travel-management systems.

Audience & Use Cases

  • Audience: Finance, accounts payable, travel, compliance, and shared-services teams at large or multinational organizations.
  • Use cases: Enforcing global travel-and-expense policies; processing high volumes of supplier invoices; routing approvals across legal entities and cost centers; matching invoices to purchase orders; and exporting expense or invoice data to financial systems.

Technical Specifications

  • Deployment model: Software as a service (SaaS).
  • Access: Responsive web application and mobile applications for iOS and Android; the mobile experience supports expense submission and approvals.
  • Global operations: Supports configurable policies, approval routing, currencies, date formats, tax requirements, and language needs for multinational organizations.
