What is Sage Expense Management?

Sage Expense Management (formerly Fyle) is a platform for finance teams who want real-time expense control without the disruption of switching corporate cards. Its direct integration with existing Visa, Mastercard, and American Express delivers transactions instantly upon swipe.

Finance teams get instant visibility into spending, and employees can upload receipts through Outlook, Gmail, text message, or the mobile app. Its OCR engine automatically codes, categorizes, and assigns expenses to the right projects and cost centers, while pushing audit-ready data to accounting software like NetSuite, Sage, QuickBooks, or Xero.

With built-in policy checks and fraud detection, Sage Expense Management eliminates manual work, reduces friction, and gives finance teams complete control over spend.

Manage your expenses better - Fyle

Pros

  • Automatic details filling feature of Fyle saves a lot of time in browsing each and every receipt and then entering the details
  • Categorization provided by Fyle assists in reducing navigating and search time for itemizing the bills
  • Linking the audit feature from Fyle has helped in reducing the turnaround time for audit queries and thus improved productivity for audit team
  • Keeping a complete track of all claims submitted in the dashboard provides a clear view of what expenses are penign to be approved by audit team

Cons

  • Though intellisense is built in the software, but it doesn't remember beyond 3 items - this needs much improvement as receipts are mostly picked haphazard while filing the claim in bulk
  • Once the vendor name is filled by one employee in the organization, the same should get stored centrally so that every other person does not have to re-enter the name again and again - which even leads to multiple entries for same vendor every time a new report is created
  • When review question is posed by the auditor, there is no way to check if the employee response is read by the auditor - feature highlighting whether both the question or response is read by the concerned party should be there which helps in acknowledgement too

Return on Investment

  • Fyle has had a positive ROI for my organization
  • It has helped in reducing costs for my organization by 2 man-months
  • It has reduced the turnaround time for claims processing from 4 weeks to 2.5 weeks
  • The overall satisfaction level about the audit department has improved by 2 points since we started making use of Fyle
