Xpenser (acquired by Coupa Software)

Xpenser provides time, receipt, and expense management from a multitude of devices and interfaces - using voice, email, sms, iPhone, instant messaging, Twitter, or the web, via a simple, intuitive format. Expenses are recorded using natural language - for example, “lunch $45.11 with Jack of Company X” - and are categorized, tagged, and stored in user selected folders. Receipts can be attached to the emails - for example by taking a picture of the receipt using a mobile phone - and are stored and managed online. Time is recorded using the same simple format - for example “time 27 minutes contract review client x” - or using timers - for example, “time start Client Y conference call”, “time end” and is converted based on user defined increment and rounding rules. Xpenser offers automated mileage and international currency conversion, budgets, per-client routing, credit card and bank statement import, and export to a variety of formats and applications. Workflow features allow expenses to be submitted for comment or approval, and an open set of APIs allow integration with third parties.
