'What should I do this analog feel Expense Reimbursement Claim, somehow...?'

There are many people who 'struggle' with paper receipts once a month.
Taxi fare. Entry fee for the seminar. Stationery money that when the equipment ran out and rushed to the store. Employees enter the price on of the receipts into Excel. And when all the entering is finished, the employee prints it, and signs it, then submits it to the Boss. The Boss vaguely looks over the paper, and signs it, then a person in Accounting Department re-enters the numbers into Excel again. When you think about it, you will find it is quite ridiculous.

Settlement out-of-pocket money, has become a "traditional business" in the company of many.

Reimbursement of out-of-pocket money, has become a "traditional operation" in many companies.
So, there often is a large room for operating efficiency.

However, expense reimbursement operation is also a sensitive operation that is directly linked to handling cash. So-called "the internal control system" is also very important. The result of operating efficiency improvement must not end up with raising the probability of occurrence of fraud or mistake. I say the business process is indescribably profound.

Inquiry Support, 'Model Sentence' is Important, Advices from Surrounding is More

When you have succeeded "Cloud Computing" of the Workflow, you surely will want to make "Workflow for email queries corresponding" as well.

The reasons are simple.

• Can correspond from anywhere. (When you are out or at home)
• Can grasp who is corresponding (The point of view of real-time monitoring)
• Can find where the bottleneck is (The point of view of performance aggregation)

However, when you run the Workflow in practice, you will notice that "flow of obtaining advice from internal" is more important than "flow of assigning respondent".
That is for example, if queried "Is the server down?", the contact person doesn't even know about it. Also, when an inquiry comes saying "I want to ask something technical about...", the contact person has absolutely no choice to seek advice from the technical department. And how soon you can respond to queries of this kind will affect the reliability of the company.

The following Workflow, "Query Response Operation flow" is enclosed a very simple "Advice Request flow". It is very excellent.

That is, it does not matter the time between starting to write the claim and submitting the claim. It is okay if the claim would be submitted before the deadline.

Also, the business Process to be is ever-changing in accordance with the changes in the business environment. In the coming age, it is important "to continue to change the system", rather than "to make a good system".

April 1st,,, it's the beginning of new fiscal year in Japan.
Students move up to new school year, new working member of society celebrate their first day, and businessmen set a new goal for the year.

Needless to say, it is a great opportunity to revise 'Business Processes'.
However, it is already April 1st, and I think it is thoughtless that recommending complicated method of business improvement, today. So, I would like to show you easy-to-start digitization of "Reviewing on Proposals", in the following. You can draw a Workflow Diagram in half an hour, and in another half you can bring it running on Workflow system.

When you running this "Reviewing on Proposals", proposals in the team will be visualized steadily.
That is, it visualizes and records "who is writing a proposal of what, whatever pointed out, and how he/she is trying to improve it". Also, it makes easier to write a new proposal when proposal data be accumulated day by day. Simply searching for well-written proposal of the past, and referring to it.
