Our client, India’s leading infrastructure company, manages multi-billion-dollar projects across the country with thousands of employees deployed in diverse and remote locations. The finance and accounts team processes a high volume of employee expense reimbursement requests every month, ranging from travel and telephone bills to project-related utility expenses.

The process was heavily manual, creating bottlenecks, compliance risks, and delayed reimbursements — directly impacting employee satisfaction and financial efficiency.

The legacy “As-Is” process relied on manual steps and fragmented workflows:

1. Email-Based Submissions
   • Employees submitted claims via email with scanned bills and invoices attached.
2. Manual Review and Verification
   • Accounts staff downloaded attachments and verified data fields like invoice number, expense type, and amount.
3. Approval Bottlenecks
   • Reimbursement requests had to be validated against employee master records and policy rules.
   • Discrepancies required multiple follow-ups across employees, managers, and accounts officers.
4. SAP Data Entry
   • Verified data was keyed into SAP manually, increasing turnaround times and error risk.

Challenges

• Excessive manual effort → Teams consumed with repetitive, low-value tasks.
• Delays in reimbursement cycles → Employees waited weeks for settlement.
• Risk of inaccuracies → Human errors in SAP postings created compliance risks.
• Lack of visibility → Employees had no transparency on claim status.

Solution: SureAlly Agentic Automation by Prosares

To overcome these challenges, Prosares deployed SureAlly, its flagship agentic automation platform, to intelligently manage the end-to-end reimbursement workflow.

Key Solution Components

1. Automated Email Handling
   • SureAlly continuously monitored the accounts mailbox.
   • All invoices, bills, and receipts were downloaded and queued for processing.
2. OCR & Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)
   • Both digital PDFs and scanned images were captured.
   • Critical fields — employee ID, cost center, invoice date, GST, and amount — were extracted automatically.
3. Business Rule Validation
   • Data cross-checked against:
     • Employee master records
     • Company reimbursement policy rules
     • Duplicate or incomplete invoice checks
4. Exception Handling & Routing
   • Discrepancies auto-routed to:
     • Employees for missing/incorrect details
     • Managers for policy or approval validation
     • Accounts staff for finance-specific clarifications
   • Once corrected, claims re-entered the automated flow.
5. Seamless SAP Integration
   • Validated claims were bulk-uploaded into SAP with supporting documents attached.
   • Exception claims were updated post-resolution, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

• Elimination of Manual Effort → Accounts staff focused on exceptions, not data entry.
• Turnaround Time Cut from Weeks to Days → Employees reimbursed faster, improving satisfaction.
• Improved Accuracy & Compliance → Automated validations and SAP posting reduced errors.
