In today’s finance environment, “good enough” is no longer good enough. For many finance leaders, expense management remains a frustrating tangle of manual uploads, delayed reconciliations, and policy blind spots. Controllers and CFOs are tired of chasing receipts, dealing with fraud exposure, or retroactively patching leaks in spend oversight. The cost isn’t just inefficiency, but also missed opportunities: misallocated budgets and compliance headaches can grow with every late upload or out-of-policy charge.
Yet most legacy tools are still built for what happened, not what’s happening. Finance leaders and their teams deserve better.
That’s why Emburse is continuing to invest in its receipt integration ecosystem, including adding two new direct receipt integrations—American Airlines’ AAdvantage Business™ and DoorDash—that mark another leap forward in our journey toward fully touchless expense creation. These integrations eliminate manual receipt uploads at the source and deliver trusted, real-time data into Emburse’s intelligent workflows.
At Emburse, the receipts manage themselves. It’s not just easier—it’s Expense Intelligence in action. Get a demo to see for yourself.
The Problem: Receipts Are Still Slowing You Down
Despite automation gains, many organizations still rely on employees to forward receipts or upload snapshots into expense systems. That creates lag, invites fraud, and keeps finance teams in reactive mode. For senior finance executives, that also means month-end surprises, policy violations that slip through the cracks, and limited insight into how—and where—money is actually being spent.
At the tactical level, controllers and senior accountants feel the pain even more acutely, such as:
- Bottlenecks from manual processes
- Error-prone data entry
- Pressure to close the books quickly without sacrificing accuracy
The result? Teams spend more time reconciling past spend than shaping future outcomes. Time they cannot get back.
The Solution: Real-Time Receipt Integrations That Just Work
With Emburse’s ecosystem of integrations, receipts from partners like American Airlines AAdvantage and DoorDash flow directly into the platform with no user action needed. This streamlines travel and meal expense management automatically.
- American Airlines AAdvantage Business™: Flight receipts booked through the program are synced instantly into Emburse. No screenshots. No forwarding. Just accurate, direct-from-supplier data that’s ready to reconcile
- DoorDash: Meal receipts now flow directly into the expense wallet for Emburse users, enabling quick matching with card transactions and automated report creation.
These integrations are embedded within the Emburse experience and are included at no additional cost for eligible Enterprise and Professional customers. Together, they enhance our expanding ecosystem of partners, from Uber and Lyft to Amazon Business and SpotHero.
Better Data. Fewer Errors. More Confidence.
By removing friction from the process and injecting trusted data into your workflows, Emburse gives your finance teams control before spend happens. This is what modern finance infrastructure looks like:
- Seamless user experience: Receipts appear automatically across desktop and mobile—no uploads, no delays.
- Accuracy you can trust: Supplier-direct data eliminates risk of altered receipts or manual entry errors.
- Real-time visibility: Emburse AI automatically matches transactions, flags anomalies, and enforces policy in the moment, not after the fact.
This isn’t just about making expenses easier for employees, but giving finance leaders confidence and control.
The Bigger Picture: Expense Intelligence in Motion
These integrations are more than features—they’re a reflection of Emburse’s broader vision: to create the infrastructure layer for modern finance. Through our Expense Intelligence framework, we empower finance teams with:
- Unified visibility across departments and systems
- Dynamic policy enforcement in real time
- AI-powered control that anticipates risk and optimizes spend before reimbursement is even triggered
When you eliminate bottlenecks and reduce fraud risk, you gain the ability to lead proactively, plan with confidence, and steer your organization forward.
What’s Next: Smarter Spend Is Just the Beginning
The American Airlines AAdvantage and DoorDash integrations are part of Emburse’s ongoing commitment to turn expense reporting into a background task. In the coming months, we’ll continue to expand our direct receipt network and build on AI-powered capabilities so finance shouldn’t be stuck auditing the past.
