Speed up your reporting with our travel expenses software

Record all expenses relating to business trips and more with the GFOS solution for travel expense reporting. The program enables simple and detailed recording of all trips and receipts. Numerous parameters, such as country scales, expense rates, mileage rate calculation, entertainment costs and more, can be automatically taken into account according to your settings.

This simplifies travel expense management and at the same time gives your employees more personal responsibility. Within the framework of travel expense management, the software supports both centralized accounting, where one department processes all requests together, and decentralized accounting. This variant places more responsibility on your employees, but at the same time enables greater transparency in the recording process:

Independent entry of receipts using employee self-services
Recording can be done anywhere and at any time
Numerous access options (intranet/internet)
Online recording ensures digitalization and increased cost transparency

Our travel expenses software further simplifies by the connection to other modules. In combination with project time tracking, intuitive and project-related travel expense accounting is possible. The integration of the modules eliminates the need for multiple entries, streamlines processes and reduces unnecessary effort.

Travel expenses software - accurate calculation thanks to reliable data

From master data to flat rates, all details and information that are relevant for the subsequent travel expenses reporting can be stored centrally within the software. The program uses the stored data for the calculation. This ensures consistent and accurate accounting without the risk of errors. At the same time, GFOS automatically provides changing flat rates or expense rates. For this reason, the solution is only approved for use in Germany.

Some of the details you can enter in the software:

Details of places, hotels, airlines and countries
Flat rates and additional expenses (universal/country-specific)
Setting up special regulations (e.g. at federal state level)
Per diems for meals (recording of free meals / per diems for meals in hotels)
Mileage allowances (statutory mileage allowances / different rates for cars, motorcycles, passengers and more)

Our travel expenses software also enables the definition and automatic checking of company guidelines. A software-based pre-check of the data ensures that both the company's own rules and tax regulations are taken into account in the travel expenses reporting. This includes both national and international trips.

Clear, digital travel expense management

Submit individual receipts or record complete trips using the software. Whether it is expense accounting for business meals, travel by private vehicle or other requests: Comment functions on the receipts allow them to be processed clearly. Complete trips can be recorded with or without receipts - if there is a link to the data from project time tracking, project data can also be used.

Our solution for travel expense reporting helps to take into account legal requirements for recording and special cases. This is relevant, for example, if the departure day of a trip is identical to the arrival day of a subsequent trip (combined trip).

You can create evaluations based on the travel expense reporting via the software, for example to better allocate certain expenses. To do this, you can use the tool to select by cost center, trip number or receipt number, for example.

All evaluations can be processed digitally, viewed by employees in the GFOS web application or made available physically using the print function. Have you already defined a person responsible for checking the travel expenses software? Then the recorded data can also be forwarded directly to this person so that further processing can be carried out quickly.

Transfer data from travel expenses software to payroll system

We support you in reducing potential errors, redundant processes and data entry. That's why you can seamlessly link our travel expense reporting with your in-house payroll system thanks to the corresponding interfaces. In this way, data is automatically transferred from our solution directly to your payroll accounting system.

At the same time, this also allows expenses to be assigned to specific wage types. Store various rules for payroll accounting according to your requirements and ensure correct remuneration for all your employees.

You can also make changes to data that has already been submitted: Our travel expense management software offers retroactive accounting processing to transfer appropriate adjustments to the data to your payroll system. Changes to accounting rules can be updated centrally just as quickly if required. This ensures that all tax and legal requirements are fully taken into account at all times.
