Summary

Emburse’s unified mobile app brings together receipt capture, expense reports, and approvals in a single experience that empowers finance leaders and global teams with real-time visibility, seamless compliance, and AI-powered efficiency—wherever work happens.

    Smarter Spend Starts in Your Pocket

    In today’s always-on workplace, managing spend should be as fluid and fast as business itself. However, outdated tools and fractured systems often make the travel and expense (T&E) process feel like a bottleneck rather than a value driver.

    With 61% of business travelers already using mobile devices to book and manage trips, it’s clear that expectations have shifted—and finance leaders are taking notice. Enter the Emburse Enterprise mobile app: a unified, intelligent solution designed for how modern organizations operate. Whether it’s capturing receipts in real time or approving an invoice from the airport lounge, the new app puts power, insight, and control directly into your pocket.

    Key stats to know:

    • 93% of users say Emburse’s mobile features outperform Concur’s
    • 73% of companies still rely on manual processes for expense management
    • Mobile-first finance teams reduce bottlenecks and improve forecasting accuracy

    One App. One Flow. One Experience for All.

    Finance and IT teams have long struggled with disjointed mobile tools, such as one app for snapping receipts and another for report submissions and approvals. That patchwork approach creates confusion, slows adoption, and compromises visibility.

    Say goodbye to app fragmentation. The Emburse Enterprise mobile app simplifies everything with a single, elegant solution:

    • AI-powered OCR receipt capture
    • Submission of expenses and pre-approvals
    • Full approval flows for expenses, pre-approvals, invoices, and POs
    • A secure cloud wallet that syncs all receipts across devices
    • Multilingual availability in 35+ languages
    • Enterprise-grade security with SSO and offline mode

    This isn’t a redesign. It’s a redefinition. Built for every user across every region, the app scales to support how global finance leaders operate—with speed, transparency, and flexibility.

    Go From Manual to Effortless and Accurate

    Manual entry and receipt hoarding are finally relics of the past. The Emburse mobile app is powered by Emburse AI, a best-in-class engine that captures, transcribes, and categorizes expenses with accuracy reaching up to 95%+.

    Here’s how it changes the game:

    • Emburse AI automatically extracts vendor, date, amount, and category
    • Auto-capture mode snaps the receipt image without needing a tap
    • Smart border cropping cleans up receipt edges for fast processing
    • Supports multi-page receipt capture (hotel folios, extra-long receipts)
    • PDF upload directly from your phone
    • Cloud wallet ensures all receipts are accessible across devices

    With these features, reimbursement cycles shrink, errors drop, and finance teams gain confidence in the data that powers their forecasts.

    Anywhere Access for Approvals, Insights, and Compliance

    For CFOs, Controllers, and IT leaders, timing is everything. Delays in expense approvals can ripple into inaccurate reporting, missed savings opportunities, and frustrated employees.

    The Emburse Enterprise app delivers a new level of control:

    • Instant visibility into pending approvals, draft reports, and recent receipts
    • Approve or reject submissions in real time—no laptop required
    • Track spend across geographies, teams, and cost centers

    And thanks to the home dashboard and task-focused navigation bar, users stay on top of what matters most—whether they're in the office or 30,000 feet in the air.

    Designed for All, Ready for What’s Next

    Finance teams need more than temporary solutions—they need innovative tools that adapt. That’s why the Emburse mobile app is designed to meet the needs of both high-frequency travelers and detail-focused approvers across regions and departments.

    Built to support global operations:

    • 35+ supported languages
    • Region-specific currency, tax, and compliance handling
    • API-first architecture for ERP, HRIS, and card integration
    • SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI compliance
    • Delegate access and mobile folio itemization launching in Q3

    This app isn’t a one-off release—it’s the foundation for ongoing innovation. Emburse’s roadmap includes AI-driven policy nudges, advanced security and fraud detection, integrated travel booking, and trip itinerary management—all delivered with the same simplicity and elegance.

    One Unified Experience with Infinite Potential

    For organizations looking to simplify operations, empower employees, and gain predictive insight into spend, the new Emburse app is more than a launch—it’s a leap forward.

    Why it matters:

    • One app to streamline on-the-go T&E management
    • Speeds up reimbursement and closes cycles
    • Power forecasting with real-time visibility
    • Reduces compliance risk with intelligent automation
    • Scales to meet growing teams and evolving policies
