Case Study: Standards Council of Canada achieves 50% faster expense reimbursements and automated, compliant expense management with Emburse's Chrome River

Standards Council of Canada - Customer Case Study

The Standards Council of Canada (SCC), a government agency with complex rules and approval workflows, needed a modern, customizable cloud expense solution that supported mobile receipt capture (OCR), credit-card imports, integrated analytics, and accounting-system integration. SCC selected Emburse’s Chrome River EXPENSE because it met those requirements while being cost-effective and adaptable to government-specific policies.

Emburse configured and customized Chrome River EXPENSE for SCC, building custom controls and automated workflows, enabling mobile submission and approvals, and automating per diem updates and daily data feeds to the finance system. The solution cut reimbursement time from an average of two weeks to just under one week (a 50% time savings), greatly reduced manual data entry, allowed remote employees to expense home-office supplies during the pandemic, and freed the finance team to focus on higher‑value analysis.
