Financial sector companies operate in an environment of high regulatory complexity and rigorous security requirements. Corporate travel and expense management, in this context, transcends simple cost administration. It becomes a fundamental piece in ensuring compliance with regulations from bodies such as the Central Bank and the CVM, in addition to ensuring the protection of sensitive data in accordance with the LGPD.
Any failure in this process can result in operational, financial, and reputational risks. Manual processes, based on spreadsheets and email exchanges, are not only inefficient but also create loopholes for errors, fraud, and policy deviations.
Given this scenario, the search for a robust solution that offers full automation, security, and analytical intelligence is a strategic necessity. This is exactly where Argo positions itself as a strategic partner, offering a platform designed to transform these challenges into competitive advantages.
Compliance and security: pillars of financial operation
For the financial sector, corporate governance is not optional. Argo integrates compliance and security into the core of its solutions, ensuring that every transaction—whether a flight reservation or an expense reimbursement—is in accordance with predefined rules.
Policy automation for total compliance
Adhering to internal and regulatory policies manually is a complex task and prone to failure. The Argo platform solves this issue with technology.
- Customizable rules: the company can configure detailed policies for different employee profiles, establishing spending limits, permitted expense types, and ceilings for categories such as airfare and lodging.
- Automatic blocks and alerts: both Argo Travel and Argo Expense validate each request in real time. If a transaction is out of policy, the system can block the action or notify managers, ensuring that control occurs before the expense is incurred.
- Complete audit trail: all actions, from request to approval and reimbursement, are recorded in a 100% traceable audit trail, providing detailed information for internal and external audits with full transparency.
Data security as a priority
The protection of employee and company information is vital. Argo ensures data confidentiality and integrity with international security standards, such as compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), protecting card data and other sensitive information.
Operational efficiency and full automation for a dynamic sector
Agility is a competitive differentiator in the financial market. Process automation frees teams from repetitive and bureaucratic tasks, allowing them to focus on activities of greater strategic value.
Optimizing travel management with Argo Travel
Argo Travel transforms the corporate travel process into a fluid, controlled, and efficient journey. The platform centralizes all stages, from planning to issuance, with a multiplatform experience.
- Request and service booking: the employee requests flights, hotels, and other services directly on the platform, which already presents options aligned with company policies.
- Notification to those responsible: approvers receive real-time notifications and can approve or reject requests with a few clicks, accessing the full history and justifications.
- Issuance and integration with suppliers: after approval, issuance is automated and data is securely stored in the cloud, ensuring an agile and frictionless process.
This full automation results in a reduction of up to 50% in the service time per reservation, in addition to providing full visibility over costs and price history.
Revolutionizing expense management with Argo Expense
Accountability is one of the biggest operational bottlenecks. Argo Expense eliminates the need for spreadsheets and physical receipts, digitizing and automating the entire reimbursement cycle.
- Simplified entry: using technologies such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for reading invoices, QR-code, and GPS for mileage recording, the employee logs their expenses in seconds via smartphone.
- Corporate card management: the platform allows for the management of multiple cards, reconciling invoices and automating accountability, which provides greater control and visibility over spending.
- Agile approval and reimbursement flow: with policies already embedded, the system automatically validates expenses, speeding up the approval process and ensuring faster, more accurate reimbursements.
Analytical intelligence and strategic integration
To make assertive decisions, financial managers need consolidated and reliable data. Argo goes beyond automation, providing the necessary tools for intelligence-based management.
Decisions based on consolidated data
Argo’s solutions generate detailed analytical reports that offer a complete view of travel and expense spending patterns. This allows the company to identify savings opportunities, negotiate better agreements with suppliers, and continuously optimize the budget, supporting strategic decision-making based on accurate information.
Advanced integration with legacy systems
The Argo platform was developed to operate synergistically with technologies already used by the company. Offering the possibility of advanced integration with the main ERPs on the market through connectors and open APIs, Argo ensures that data flows consistently, eliminating the need for rework and reducing manual entry errors. This customization and scalability capacity ensures that the solution adapts perfectly to the specific needs of each financial institution.
