The complexity of travel and expense management in large corporations demands more than simple control tools. It requires a robust, scalable, and strategic solution, capable of aligning with business objectives, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting operational efficiency on a large scale.
In this scenario, market leaders choose Argo as their strategic partner, trusting a platform that combines cutting-edge technology and deep knowledge of corporate needs.
Companies with thousands of employees, multiple cost centers, and regional operations face unique challenges: from standardizing policies to ensuring data security and gaining a clear view of spending.
Argo addresses these challenges with an integrated solution that transforms previously fragmented and manual processes into a digital, automated, and intelligent workflow.
Below, you can review the pillars that consolidate Argo as the preferred choice for large corporations.
Complete Automation for Unparalleled Operational Efficiency
In a high-volume corporate environment, manual processes can be synonymous with inefficiency, errors, and high costs. Complete automation is the key to freeing teams from repetitive tasks and allowing them to focus on more strategic activities for the organization.
The Argo platform was developed based on this principle, offering two specialized solutions that complement each other to digitize the entire travel and expense journey.
Argo Travel: Agility and Control from Start to Finish of the Trip
Argo Travel centralizes and automates the entire corporate travel cycle, from request to issuance. The platform ensures that every step of the process is executed quickly and in full adherence to company policies.
- Optimized Process: Employees request services such as airfare, accommodation, and vehicle rental directly on the platform, which already presents options aligned with predefined rules. Managers receive real-time notifications for approval, accelerating decision-making.
- Proven Time Reduction: Task automation results in a decrease of up to 50% in service time per booking, a fundamental efficiency gain for large-scale operations.
- Agility and Autonomy: With an intuitive interface and multi-platform access, travelers gain autonomy to manage their requests, while the company maintains centralized control.
Argo Expense: End of Spreadsheets, Smarter Reimbursements
Expense reporting is one of the biggest bottlenecks in travel and expense management. Argo Expense eliminates the dependence on spreadsheets and the exchange of physical documents, replacing them with a 100% digital process, reducing human errors. Several features ensure more robustness and efficiency in this process:
- Intelligent Expense Capture: Using technologies such as OCR (Optical Character Recognition), QR code, and GPS, employees log their expenses in seconds, directly from their smartphone.
- Automated Reimbursement Flow: From receipt capture to approval and final reimbursement, the entire flow is automated, reducing processing time and eliminating manual errors.
- Corporate Card Management: The platform allows for the management of multiple cards with automatic import of statements in the D+1 model (entry into the system the day after purchase).
Compliance and Security at a Corporate Scale
For large corporations, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations, such as LGPD/GDPR, is not optional. The security of financial and personal data is equally critical. Argo integrates compliance and security as central elements of its architecture.
Customizable Policies and Complete Audit Trail
Flexibility to configure business rules is essential. Argo’s platform allows for the creation of highly customizable travel and expense policies, which can be segmented by role, cost center, or project.
- Proactive Control: Automatic blocks and non-compliance alerts prevent out-of-policy spending even before it occurs.
- Total Traceability: All transactions, from request to payment, have a complete audit trail, guaranteeing 100% transparency for internal and external audits.
- Certified Security: Argo is compliant with international PCI standards, ensuring the protection of sensitive payment data.
Analytical Intelligence for Strategic Decisions
More than just managing transactions, large companies need consolidated data to make intelligent decisions. The Argo platform transforms operational data into business intelligence, providing a macro and detailed view of spending.
Through reports, data analysis allows managers to:
- Gain complete, real-time visibility into spending by employee, department, or project.
- Identify consumption patterns and savings opportunities.
- Analyze price and booking history to strengthen bargaining power with suppliers.
This analytical capacity elevates travel and expense management from a purely administrative function to a strategic area that contributes directly to the company’s financial health.
Flexible Platform with Advanced Integration
The ideal solution is one that adapts to the company’s existing technological environment, not the other way around. Argo stands out for its open and flexible architecture.
- Advanced Integration: Designed for robust connectivity, the platform can be integrated with the main ERP systems on the market and travel agencies’ systems through open APIs and connectors. This capability, when contracted, centralizes information and eliminates the need for manual data entry.
- Proven Scalability: With over 8 million transactions managed and 1 million active users, Argo demonstrates its ability to support operations of high complexity and volume, accompanying the growth of its clients without compromising performance.
Argo: The Strategic Partner for Digital Transformation
The choice of Argo by large corporations goes beyond a list of features. It is a decision for a strategic partner that understands market challenges and offers a complete solution for digital transformation in travel and expense management.
By combining complete automation, total compliance, analytical intelligence, and a secure and scalable platform, Argo empowers companies to achieve a new level of operational efficiency and financial control.
The solution adapts to the reality of different profiles, from financial directors to operations managers and IT specialists, consolidating itself as the engine that drives smarter management prepared for the future.
