Scaling New Heights 2019 - One Size Doesn't Fit All Vendor App Peeks # 10

by

It's true folks, 'One Size (App) Doesn't Fit All,' just as with clothes and shoes and almost everything else. While some App vendors would have you believe that 'they have the only App for you' or 'their App is one of a kind,' the reality is that you need to take a good look and compare similar Apps.

A great place to make such comparisons is on the Exhibit Hall floor at Scaling New Heights, but you need a little preparation before simply walking up to a vendor's booth and asking 'what's up with your App?' That's why we are going to outline a few details and give you some heads-up about 'different size Apps' (in Alphabetical Order, not by Vendor sponsorship level) within the same categories between now and the start of the conference.

By the way, we may not cover every similar App in any one article but may have several similar articles covering different Apps within the same categories. Also know, there are additional sponsors being added to the rolls at Scaling New Heights since we outlined our list of features for preparation of these articles, to those recently added sponsors will be 'swept into' one or two 'catch-all' features at the end of our series as the conference is starting.

Divvy

Divvy eliminates expense reports and reimbursement by tracking all employee spending within a company as it happens. All employees receive a physical Divvy smart card, which acts as their company card. Administrators can add funds to the card for employees at any time. When employees use their Divvy card on anything from travel to office supplies the information becomes an itemized record. A live expense report dashboard is available in the app. At the end of the month, accountants can export all spending data directly into their accounting software.

Features Include:  Manage all spending from one place. Ease of expense allocation, and strict controls. Specified budgets restrict the use of funds for specific purposes. Easily identify how company spending stacks up against established budgets. See who is spending where and on what instantly, and freeze spenders if things get out of hand. Fraud Elimination. Security. Itemized reporting. Integration with the most popular accounting software.

If you want to learn how to divvy up your expense dollars in a modern controlled method, then divvy up some of your exhibit roaming time and stop by the Divvy Booth on the Exhibit Hall floor at Scaling New Heights to find out how they can help make each of your expense dollars a 'smart dollar.'
