The company did not disclosed its valuation.
The company’s software can track any payroll-related spending and procurement. It handles invoicing, inventory, budgets, and expense reporting. Its services also include analytics and reporting to show if companies are wasting money by ordering too many supplies or sending people on too many wild business trips. If an employee submits an exorbitant expense report from a Vegas trip, the software will warn them that their spending got out of control.
