If your field or sales team still travels, dines with the client, and then shoves a crumpled receipt in their pocket to request "Expense Reimbursement," your company lives in the 20th century. Manual **Expense Management** drains employee patience, overloads the accountant, and opens massive doors for "duplicate receipt" fraud.

### **The Mobile Journey of Money**

The process must happen in real-time: spend, photo, approval, and transfer. All of this in a digital environment tied to spending policies (e.g., $50 max on dinner).

### **Express Expense Reporting in Jestor**

This is where Jestor acts, changing the game for the street team:

- **The Pocket App:** While still at the airport, the employee opens the Jestor mobile app, takes a photo of the Uber receipt, types the amount, and hits send.
- **AI Against Fraud (OCR):** Jestor's Artificial Intelligence can read the scanned invoice, validating if the date matches and extracting the Tax ID and real spent value.
- **Bottleneck-Free Approval:** The direct manager doesn't need to open their laptop. They get a rich notification (Push/Email) with the receipt photo and click "Approve." Jestor Rollups (sums) the approved amount into the department's general budget.
