Travel & Expenses

A global automotive OEM.

Automotive manufacturing — anonymised case study. Sector and outcomes are real; client name withheld.

The problem

What the customer was facing.

Reimbursements were slow, advances were poorly tracked, and travel bookings happened on email outside any system the finance team could audit. TA/DA calculations diverged across the field force, and compliance gaps were normal rather than exceptional.

How we engaged

The approach we ran.

We deployed Happay covering both expenses and travel, integrated it with the OEM’s travel management companies, automated advances and TA/DA computation, and shipped a mobile-first claim flow with route tracking for the field. Same delivery pod stayed on through the first reimbursement cycle.
