Zoho Spend is a comprehensive spend management platform designed to help modern businesses gain full control over how money is spent across the organization. It brings together expense management, corporate travel, procurement, corporate cards, and accounts payable automation into one unified system.

Instead of managing expenses through spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected tools, Zoho Spend provides a centralised platform where every rupee spent is recorded, tracked, and approved in real time. This gives finance teams complete visibility into employee expenses, vendor payments, and departmental budgets.

With Zoho Spend, organizations can:

• Track every penny spent
• Control budgets
• Automate approvals
• Simplify reimbursements
• Manage vendors and payments
• Ensure policy compliance

Zoho Spend is ideal for growing companies that need better visibility, stronger controls, and scalable processes to manage increasing volumes of spending—without relying on spreadsheets or manual follow-ups.

 Why Your Business Needs Zoho Spend   

• Growing fast: When your business grows quickly, the number of expenses, purchases, and payments increases rapidly. Without a proper system, this growth creates chaos, poor visibility, and loss of control over spending.
• Managing many employees and vendors: As your team and vendor base expands, tracking who is spending, who is approving, and who is getting paid becomes difficult. Zoho Spend brings all employee and vendor spending into one controlled and transparent system.
• Using spreadsheets for expenses: Spreadsheets are manual, error-prone, and hard to manage as volumes increase. Zoho Spend replaces spreadsheets with automated workflows, real-time tracking, and proper audit trails.
• Struggling with approvals and tracking: Manual approval processes slow down decisions and make it difficult to track the status of expenses and purchases. Zoho Spend automates approvals and gives full visibility into every request and transaction.
• Facing audit pressure: When records are scattered across emails, files, and spreadsheets, audits become stressful and time-consuming. Zoho Spend keeps all documents, approvals, and histories in one system, making audits simple and smooth.
• Losing control over budgets: Without real-time visibility, spending often exceeds budgets without warning. Zoho Spend helps you set budgets, track actual spend, and prevent overspending before it happens.
