Getting Time Back
“Everyone who touches accounting knows that reconciliation is an issue, but it was just always one of those ‘acceptable evils’ that you had to deal with. I wasn’t surprised at all when TripActions approached me with a possible solution to this problem. What impressed me though, was how effective it is,” Vik explained.
Enter TripActions Liquid™. In late 2019, Vik and his team focused on setting up the TripActions Liquid virtual card to dramatically improve the process of reconciliation. Since then, the solution has resulted in significant wins, most notably giving the team substantial time back to to focus on higher value strategic initiatives and projects. “TripActions Liquid is a major time saver,” said Vik. “I run a lean team at Zoom, and we have actually been able to reduce reconciliation time from weeks to under an hour each month.”
Natively Integrating With TripActions
TripActions Liquid natively integrates with the core TripActions platform, and any corresponding transactions made using the virtual card are automatically associated with the original booking. These line items are instantly auto-tagged with a booking ID, saving the Accounting team from having to manually reconcile that charge or chase after employees for receipts. Now, Vik and his team just briefly review reports instead of conducting full audits.
A True Partner
TripActions aims to delight customers at every turn, echoing Zoom’s ethos on user-happiness. This core value caught the attention of Tu Nguyen, Zoom’s AP Analyst, after TripActions Liquid was rolled out. “While nearly everything was self-service and easy to set up, I was really pleased at how this entire implementation went, as well as the ongoing support we’ve been receiving while rolling out TripActions Liquid,” Tu said. “I feel like we’re really getting a white-glove experience and I appreciate that they treat us like a true partner.”
