But as soon as you are done, you can start enjoying the functionality of Pleo and access all the features available to your company according to the selected pricing plan.<\/p>\n Probably the first thing you\u2019ll want to do is to order virtual or physical (or both) cards for your employees and set up their own spending limits.<\/p>\n And, of course, you can also manage your personal card:<\/p>\n In the Expenses section, as an admin, you can see the company\u2019s available wallet balance and recent expenses.<\/p>\n You can also manually add an expense here by adding a receipt.<\/p>\n Admins can study the expenses of their employees in detail and also assign categories to expenses \u2014 for example, Subscriptions and Software (for SaaS products that you use), or Hardware (in case someone purchased a laptop, for example), or Internet & Telephone (in case your company is covering someone\u2019s Internet bill).<\/p>\n The Analytics section (available only to paying Pleo customers) provides reporting on your company\u2019s expenses which you can organize in any way you want. For example, you can learn how much money your company spends on marketing, or what kind of expenses a certain employee reports. You can build all sorts of different reports here, and on the screenshot you just see an example of one:<\/p>\n In Invoices, you can find and sort invoices that require payment or are scheduled or have already been paid. And you can approve or reject invoices that are pending approval. There are many sorting options for invoices \u2014\u00a0for example, you can sort them by status.<\/p>\n You can also manage your company\u2019s Subscriptions in a section conveniently separated in the main menu to provide you insights into what recurring payments might be happening on your accounts.<\/p>\n Then, there is Wallet. Admins can see transaction history and top their wallets up.<\/p>\n You can also find transactions by time period and download the balance statement:<\/p>\n You can top the wallet up via bank transfer or direct debit. And you can set up an automated top-up if you want it to happen regularly but don\u2019t want to do it manually.<\/p>\n You can choose to top up from any top bank available in your country. In the UK, for example, Pleo allows top-up from 50+ banks.<\/p>\n There is also a Pocket feature that allows you to keep track of out-of-pocket expenses, mileage, or expenses paid for using withdrawn company cash. Employees may add expenses manually using Pleo\u2019s desktop and mobile apps.<\/p>\n As an admin, you can manage the employee directory, add or remove users, and set up individual card spending limits. You can add people manually or in bulk by uploading a file. You can also give access to Pleo to an external bookkeeper.<\/p>\n In Export, you can set up the export of receipts into your accounting system.<\/p>\n Speaking of accounting systems, Pleo integrates with 30 of those:<\/p>\n You can connect Pleo with such accounting software as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Billy, Datev, Dinero, Fortnox, Inventio and many others.

As written on Pleo\u2019s platform, Company Review can be enabled alongside Team Review for a multi-step review process. By enabling both Company Review and Team Review, all expenses and Pocket reimbursements will require two sets of approvals.<\/em><\/p>\n In Settings, you can also set up Benefit allowances, and make them custom for each team member.<\/p>\n And you have a separate section for Mileage where you can set up mileage rates, download claims and see the mileage expenses.<\/p>\n Settings also offer Power-ups where you can enable integrations with tools (besides ERPs) that Pleo is integrated with.<\/p>\n TravelPerk is proud to be one of them.
