Case Study: Merz Pharma UK achieves streamlined expense processing and up to £10,000 annual savings with Webexpenses

Merz - Customer Case Study

Merz (Merz Pharma UK Ltd), a UK arm of the independent German pharmaceutical group focused on neuroscience and aesthetic medicine, was running a paper-based expense process for its 44 employees that required physical sign-offs and manual data entry for about 40 claims a month. The finance team found the system time-consuming and unsustainable as the business grew, so Merz evaluated suppliers and chose the Webexpenses expense management solution to automate and streamline the process.

Webexpenses replaced the paper workflow with an automated expense system that cut processing time by an entire day per month (estimated savings of £1,000–£2,000 per year) and reduced employee time spent on expenses by about 30 minutes per person per month (up to ~£10,000 per year). Webexpenses also improved robustness, compliance, approvals, real-time tracking and reporting, and eliminated repetitive data entry for the finance team.
