The Problem Was Everywhere
Back in 2018, I was consulting for a manufacturing company in Taoyuan. Their finance team had three people doing nothing but processing expense reports. Every day. Piles of receipts, endless email chains, approval delays that made everyone frustrated.
The crazy part? They weren't unusual. Every business I talked to had the same headache. Different industries, different sizes, same problem.
Most expense management tools back then were either too complex or too simple. Companies needed something that could handle Taiwan's specific tax requirements and receipt formats without requiring a manual to operate.
We started with one question: what if expense management just worked without anyone having to think about it? Turns out, that's harder than it sounds. But worth figuring out.
