This improvement reduces administrative overhead by replacing manual expense processing with an efficient self-service system. Employees can easily submit and track their expenses, while the flexible setup allows for tailored categorization based on organizational needs. The result is a streamlined, user-friendly process for both employees and employers.


Feature Overview - Key functionalities

  • Employees can submit claims for eligible out-of-pocket business expenses (e.g., parking, meals, and supplies) via the Alleo mobile app.

  • Employer can configure "cost dimensions" (categories) within the Alleo Portal, allowing for tailored expense tracking (e.g., 'Travel', 'Meals', 'Supplies').

  • Cost dimensions can be customized with both Dutch and English names to support a multilingual workforce.

  • Employers can designate dimensions as either required or optional for claim submissions.

  • Employees can attach receipts or supporting documentation directly to their claims.

  • Approved claims are exported by administrators, similar to budget reimbursements, to facilitate reimbursement processing.
