eMOAT® Goes Beyond Invoice-to-Contract Compliance Auditing
For black-and-white compliance, we run a range of additional expense management reports each month to ensure that target spend levels are attained.
“eMOAT® was initially launched as an auditing application to ensure our clients, across many industries, actually got what they signed up for,” said Ben Miller, Chief Information Officer, Fine Tune. “So, when we built it, the main function was to audit for contract compliance. Over the years, however, we’ve learned that in order to effectively manage and truly optimize our clients’ expenses, we needed to go way beyond invoice-to-contract compliance auditing.”
“eMOAT® not only allows us to defend our clients with highly sophisticated and targeted technology but it frees up our world-class experts to then go on the offense for our clients,” said Matt Smith, Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Fine Tune. “Ultimately eMOAT®, operated by world-class experts, is the engine that powers us to achieve a level of expense management not available elsewhere in the marketplace, and allows us to achieve results way beyond expert contract negotiation and contract enforcement. Our solution takes expense management a step further where we truly optimize our clients’ programs, given their very specific needs and circumstances.”
