Pain Points (Public)

Manual expense reimbursement processing creates administrative bottlenecks, delays payouts for employees, and frequently leads to missing receipt attachments or policy compliance errors during multi-step managerial reviews.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Implement an end-to-end automated reimbursement pipeline using Microsoft Power Automate that ingests submitted expense forms, validates receipt attachments, routes adaptive approval cards via Microsoft Teams and email, and logs final payouts directly into centralized SharePoint lists or accounting sheets.
