Sainsbury’s Supermarkets
Sainsbury's - one of the leading food retailers in the UK has outsourced its expense management process to GlobalExpense - one of Europe's largest payers of employee expenses. Over 9,000 colleagues now have their expenses paid by the new outsourced web-based system, including directors and colleagues at the Business Centre and within the distribution network as well as store colleagues from over 600 stores.
Keith Simson, Contract Manager at Sainsbury's, says "We implemented GlobalExpense across the entire company in late 2004. There is no doubt that it is extremely beneficial for those colleagues who regularly submit expense claims, including travel, mileage and hotel accommodation. With the new system, all staff will be able to submit expense claims, any time, anywhere and be paid three days after authorisation direct in to an account of their choice. "Previously the company relied on using a manual paper-based system, which was more time-consuming and reimbursement of expenses was often a slow process.
"With a large number of colleagues claiming expenses we wanted to find a solution which would provide a more efficient and speedier way of managing expenses. We looked around in the market and found that GlobalExpense was the only system, which provided a full end- to-end expense management system. It also allows management to receive highly detailed information break downs of all employee expenses and is certainly making life easier for our managers who have to approve claims on a daily basis."
Keith Simson concludes: "GlobalExpense is a very useful and powerful tool. I now have a system that ensures VAT and PAYE liabilities are correctly dealt with and I am able to easily configure the system to highlight any claims made outside of the company policy. All receipts are checked and then scanned by GlobalExpense staff and available on line.“
