Case Study: Leading Life Sciences Data Provider achieves $1.5M in T&E savings and 100% automated expense audits with AppZen Expense Audit

Expense Audit drives healthier spend outcomes for a leading life sciences data provider

Leading Life Sciences Data Provider, a global provider of analytics, technology, and contract research services, needed to bring costly, error-prone T&E operations in-house to control 25,000 monthly expense reports, audit 100% of spend, meet Health Care Professional (HCP) regulatory requirements, and scale across more than 30 recent acquisitions. They selected AppZen’s AI-powered Expense Audit to provide a fast, integrable solution that could work with multiple ERPs, procurement systems, and expense platforms.

AppZen’s Expense Audit automatically reviewed 100% of the company’s 25,000 monthly reports, flagged high-risk items (including unauthorized electronic device purchases), enforced customized HCP sign-in sheet checks, and surfaced analytics via dashboards so auditors could focus on exceptions. The AppZen deployment eliminated over $1.5M in expenses, saved more than 1,272 days of auditor time, reduced T&E operating costs, sped reimbursements via auto-approvals for low/medium risk spend, and provided a scalable, compliant auditing process across the organization.
