It seems we have been counting our beans since the Stone Age but as this cute infographic highlights, luckily expense management is getting easier through advances in technology.
With changes in technology coming faster than ever, it looks at last as if manual expense management may become a thing of the past with applications such as Lemon (now part of Lifelock), KDS Neo Expense and Concur ExpenseIt, enabling travellers to capture expenses via mobile while on the go and start fulfilling the expense.
The infographic, put together by the ExpenseIt team, shows just how far we have come in expense management and what is being made possible now.
Incidentally, ExpenseIt says it has turned more than 250,000 images of receipts into expense reports since launch late in 2013. Research carried out by Concur shows 52% of people manage expenses via manual or paper-based systems.
