Overview
Why Expense Claims is different
Expense management in most businesses happens over WhatsApp — a photo of a receipt, a promise to be reimbursed, and a spreadsheet that gets reconciled whenever someone remembers. Moatwave Expense Claims gives staff a formal submission flow via the mobile app, managers a clean approval queue, and Finance an automatic update when claims are approved — no loose receipts, no forgotten reimbursements.
Mobile Expense Submission
Staff submit claims from the app — amount, description, category, and receipt photo in one flow.
Receipt Photo Upload
Snap and upload a receipt photo directly from the phone camera — stored against the claim permanently.
Category Tagging
Tag claims by category (transport, meals, accommodation, materials) for accurate Finance reporting.
