“We’re getting better visibility into what’s going on sooner—and that helps us plan for what’s next.”

Angie B.
,
Senior Staff Accountant

The problem

Employees booked travel using individual credit cards, receipts were hard to track down, and reconciliation became a bottleneck. Hotel receipts often went missing or arrived late, forcing the accounting team to chase them down from hotels across the country.

Flexibility was critical with crews traveling to job sites nationwide. What RMS needed was a centralized platform that employees could actually use, with built-in controls and better visibility for the back office.

The solution

RMS discovered Engine and decided to do a demo. One feature made an immediate impression: folio access. Instead of chasing receipts, the accounting team could view them all in one place, streamlining reconciliation and month-end reporting.

The RMS team rolled out Direct Bill to remove expenses from individual cards, and FlexPro gave them the freedom to shorten or extend stays as job conditions changed. RMS saw adoption skyrocket thanks to traveler perks like rewards and an easy-to-use platform.

“When I saw the first folio and the receipt was right there, that was huge.”
