Benefits and Examples of Integrating Jobcan Expense Management & Workflow with Microsoft Teams

Benefit 1: Share approval status more clearly with notifications

When an application is approved in Jobcan Expense Management & Workflow, notifications are automatically sent to Microsoft Teams, allowing the approval process status to be shared smoothly.
This ensures that all related members can check the latest approval status.
For example, in a development project team, when the project leader approves an expense application submitted by a member, that information is automatically notified to the project channel in Microsoft Teams.
This enables members who need to take the next action to do so promptly.
Increasing the transparency of the approval flow can potentially lead to an overall improvement in work efficiency.

Benefit 2: Support for quick decision-making

By integrating Jobcan Expense Management & Workflow with Microsoft Teams, you can quickly share approval status.
This allows stakeholders to quickly grasp the necessary information, making it easier to proceed with the next steps.
For example, when an expense application is approved, the accounting department, upon receiving the notification, can smoothly carry out the next procedures, potentially speeding up the workflow.
Additionally, in the sales department, sharing approval information for quotes and contracts within the team can make it easier for sales representatives to proceed with customer interactions, leading to more seamless negotiations.

Benefit 3: Reduce the effort of confirmation with automatic notifications

By implementing a system that automatically notifies approval information in Microsoft Teams, the information can be quickly shared with all stakeholders when an application is approved.
This eliminates the need for individuals to confirm separately or communicate via email or verbally.
For example, when an expense report is approved, that information is automatically notified to the accounting department's personnel. The accounting staff no longer need to manually check the approval status and can quickly reflect the approved data in the accounting system.
As a result, the time spent on secondary confirmation tasks can be reduced, leading to faster operations.
