Despite the rise of digital tools, expense management remains a major pain point for many organizations. Employees are stuck wrestling with clunky interfaces, manual data entry, and confusing mileage or receipt requirements. Finance teams, meanwhile, deal with delays, inaccuracies, and the ever-present worry of data security—especially when third-party platforms are involved.
Even some of today’s so-called “modern” solutions fall short. They don’t integrate well with existing systems, lack mobile functionality, or fail to support global needs like currency conversion and language translation. It’s no wonder expense reports are dreaded by everyone involved.
But that’s changing.

Rossera’s SmartExpenses redefines the experience—finally delivering a powerful, user-friendly app designed to work natively within your Oracle environment. Whether you’re running on-premises or in the cloud, SmartExpenses plugs directly into your Oracle tenancy and works seamlessly with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). It modernizes your expense management process without sacrificing security, control, or your existing investments.
Solving Real Problems with Smart, Secure Integration
One of the biggest headaches with modern expense tools is poor integration with existing ERP platforms. SmartExpenses eliminates that issue by living inside your Oracle infrastructure—on-premise or in the cloud—so there’s no need to sync or transfer data to third-party systems. This native integration also means enterprise-grade security and compliance standards are upheld at all times.
Unlike bolt-on tools that require extensive reconfiguration, SmartExpenses automatically inherits your existing business rules, approval workflows, and data security settings from Oracle iExpenses. That translates to minimal disruption for your IT team and a seamless transition for employees.
Goodbye Manual Entry, Hello Automation
Manual data entry is not just tedious—it’s prone to errors. SmartExpenses replaces keystrokes with automation. Using Oracle Document Understanding, the app can scan receipts, extract line items, translate foreign text, and convert currencies. This eliminates repetitive tasks and helps ensure accuracy across submissions.
For mileage tracking, SmartExpenses taps into Google Maps to calculate exact distances. It even recognizes your car type—petrol, diesel, or EV—and applies the correct reimbursement rates. For frequent travelers, bulk upload functionality allows pre-filled claims from a simple spreadsheet, speeding up the reporting process dramatically.
Smarter Policy Enforcement and Real-Time Controls
Policy violations are a common issue, often caught too late. SmartExpenses embeds proactive compliance into the workflow. It allows for dynamic spend controls, with rules based on employee roles, projects, or categories. For example, expenses flagged as gambling can be automatically blocked, while others might trigger warnings for review.
Approvers are alerted in real time, and the system differentiates between hard constraints and advisory notifications—providing flexibility without compromising governance. SmartExpenses also uses intelligent detection to catch duplicate receipts, identify unusual spending patterns, or flag activity outside of standard work hours.
A User Experience People Actually Enjoy
One of the reasons expense tools are so unpopular? They’re often clunky and hard to use. SmartExpenses flips that on its head with a mobile-first, consumer-grade experience. Whether on a phone, tablet, or desktop, users get a fast, intuitive interface that makes submitting claims simple and stress-free.
Built on Oracle Cloud and leveraging the sleek design of Oracle Redwood, SmartExpenses offers a consistent and engaging experience across platforms. It’s also WCAG 2.1 AA certified, ensuring accessibility for all users.
Need to entertain clients or cover team dinners? The app supports guest entry and spending limits tied to employee roles or project budgets. Company credit cards can be embedded directly into the system, and integration with third-party travel providers allows automatic creation of expense lines for pre-booked transport, flights, and hotel stays.
Designed for Your Business, Not the Other Way Around
Every organization is different—and SmartExpenses respects that. The app is fully customizable to match your corporate branding, and it adapts to your ERP roles, responsibilities, and multi-organizational structures. This means you get a personalized experience without sacrificing the structure and controls of your enterprise systems.
At its core, SmartExpenses addresses what traditional and modern tools often miss: the balance between usability, automation, compliance, and control. It brings together the reliability of Oracle iExpenses with the modern features users expect—no compromises.
What this means for ERP Insiders
Integration matters—avoid data silos and duplicated work. Many expense tools require complex integrations or manual data transfers, which can lead to inconsistent records and extra work for IT teams. The right technology solves this by being natively embedded within your Oracle EBS environment. It seamlessly inherits your existing business rules, workflows, and security settings—eliminating the need for third-party data syncs and ensuring a smooth, unified process.
Manual processes kill productivity. From entering mileage and scanning receipts to tracking down missing information, manual expense reporting wastes valuable time for both employees and finance teams. Look for solutions that can automate the entire process, using technologies like receipt scanning, currency conversion, and intelligent mileage tracking to reduce errors and speed up claim submission.
Compliance and usability shouldn’t be a trade-off. Many expense tools sacrifice usability for control, or vice versa. SmartExpenses strikes a balance—offering a user-friendly, mobile-first interface while delivering robust compliance features. Real-time policy enforcement, automated alerts for violations, and fraud detection tools ensure strong governance without adding friction for users.
