Glanbia takes the headache out of expense claims with SAP Concur
Glanbia processes nearly 23,000 expense claims a year from approximately 3,300 of its 6,900 employees. The company’s main problem was that it did not have a single global expense platform. Different manual systems were used in different countries and processes were paper-based. Receipts were attached to expense forms and physically mailed into the two shared service centres.
Glanbia now runs one global instance of SAP Concur Expense, split according to whether the claim is processed in Ireland or the USA. Detailed connections ensure that all systems can take advantage of common data.
By streamlining unwieldy processes and speeding up compliance checks, SAP Concur has brought a sizeable reduction in the expense time cycle for Glanbia employees. “SAP Concur is a best in class solution for Glanbia. It’s absolutely fantastic, both from an IT perspective and in the way it can make peoples’ lives easier, and that is evident and visible all the way up to users at the very top of our organisation.”
“Obtaining mileage reports, doing compliance checks and processing approvals was challenging and the processes were labour-intensive for everybody. For a company like Glanbia, where some people travel a lot, it wasn’t the greatest experience in the world.”
