Panasonic Gains Global Expense Harmony with MXP

Context

Panasonic Industry Europe set out to modernise and streamline its travel and expense processes by moving away from fragmented, manual systems. With a strong focus on improving operational efficiency, the company prioritised implementing a digital workflow that could support end-to-end visibility and enable consistent, controlled expense management.

The challenge

Before adopting MXP by Mobilexpense, some of Panasonic Industry Europe’s offices (particularly smaller locations) relied on local, manual processes to manage expenses. These setups often involved handing over physical documents and receipts directly to finance colleagues, which lacked standardisation and scalability.

As the business continued to grow, the need for a more structured, digital, and efficient solution became increasingly clear.

The solution

To address the need for structure, automation, and cross-entity consistency, Michael and his team turned to MXP. With pre-trip approval and expense capture all integrated into one platform, the company could streamline travel spend and ensure compliance.

“A big advantage is that Mobilexpense reflects every step of the process—travel arrangement to expense management. All the elements are there. The platform is also flexible and responsive to our changing needs.”

“Now, only 10% of the submitted expenses are required to be manually checked.”

Panasonic experienced:

Significant reduction in manual pre-checks
Enhanced confidence in travel visibility and compliance
Flexible setup to accommodate different regional needs

Looking forward

Michael sees an opportunity to optimise its travel and expense operations (not just from a cost-efficiency perspective) but also with a growing focus on sustainability.

CO₂-related topics have become increasingly relevant, especially in the context of improving and modernising travel policies.
