How does a unified spend management solution drive cost savings?

A unified spend management platform helps organizations reduce costs and increase efficiency via:

  • Time savings: Automate expense reporting, approval workflows, and card reconciliation to reduce manual work across employees, managers, and finance teams. This frees up valuable time that can be spent on higher-value work instead of administrative tasks.
  • Reduction in out-of-policy spend: Real-time spend controls, automated policy enforcement, and approval workflows help prevent unauthorized and non-compliant purchases before they happen, reducing unnecessary spend and improving budget adherence.
  • Card rebates: Virtual card payments can generate cashback rebates on eligible vendor spend, creating an additional source of savings and helping organizations maximize the value of every transaction.


Together, these benefits help lower administrative costs, improve spend control, and deliver measurable financial returns.

How does Paylocity calculate projected expense management savings?

Paylocity calculates projected savings using industry benchmarks and real-world implementation data across several key areas:

  • Employee expense reporting: Measures time saved by reducing manual expense entry and receipt management.
  • Approval workflows: Calculates efficiency gains from automated workflows, mobile approvals, and built-in policy enforcement.
  • Card reconciliation: Estimates administrative savings from automated transaction matching, categorization, and reconciliation.
  • Out-of-policy spend reduction: Projects savings from real-time spending controls and automated policy enforcement.
  • Virtual card rebates: Calculates potential cashback earnings based on eligible spend volume, vendor adoption, and rebate rates.


These savings are then combined to estimate your financial impact based on a conservative (45%) or optimal (60%) platform adoption rate.
