Case Study: Sasser Family Companies achieves 60% cost savings and 75% faster month-end close with Emburse

How Sasser Family Companies Modernized Expense Management

Sasser Family Companies (Sasser), a family-owned transportation holding company of 500+ employees, struggled with slow, manual expense processes: no real-time visibility into reports, Excel-based reconciliation, manual intercompany reclassification, disconnected accounting systems, and high costs with Concur. To modernize expense management, Sasser moved to Emburse, deploying Emburse Professional along with Emburse Analytics and Emburse Travel to replace their legacy platform.

Emburse implemented an automation-first solution—OCR and receipt matching, deep integration with Sasser’s financial system, intercompany coding at point of entry, real-time dashboards, and hands-on change management. The results were material: finance now spends about 75% less time processing expenses and achieves a 75% faster month-end close, expense processing costs fell by 60% versus Concur, 100% of intercompany charges are routed correctly, and report prep time declined by up to 40%, enabling Sasser’s finance team to focus on strategic work.
