Customer insights

### Text

After speaking to multiple customers, we learned that admins on Brex spend a lot of time setting up spend management, importing user attribute data, and keeping their organizations up to date on Brex. Additionally, we found that customers who use HRIS reduce the time they take to implement their spend management solution significantly, and that time-saving continues to benefit Finance and Accounting teams — as well as employees — because HRIS allows you to keep your organization up to date.



After we worked with our customer DoorDash to set up HRIS for them, their admin said that once they set up their Workday integration in Brex, it made setting up expense approval chains a breeze.

"When employees get a new manager, the Brex and HRIS integration also makes it easy to see the new reporting chain, so the approval process for expenses and requests is uncomplicated by manager changes."

— Jerome Barley, Head of Global Travel & Expense at DoorDash

The value of HRIS: Integrating with other Brex products

### Text

While user provisioning may be top of mind when configuring HRIS within Brex, configuring an integration also unlocks the ability to bring even more customization to the entire Brex experience:

- **Budgets: **After you sync your HRIS, create budgets to automatically provision spend to users based on different attributes like department, location, cost center, and legal entity.
- **Accounting: **Connect both your HRIS and your ERP to automate the process of month-end close in Brex. After connecting both integrations, go to the Accounting tab in your Brex dashboard to create a 1:1 mapping of fields synced in Brex via your HRIS <> ERP. This enables data related to expenses that an employee incurs to be continuous between both systems. For example, mapping a Workday department to a NetSuite department can help ensure that expenses are properly categorized and accounted for in your ERP.
- **Reports: **Get spend reports based on user attribute data to see how spend differs across your organization.
- **Travel: **Customize travel groups and automatically configure trips for departments with HRIS user data.
- **Multi-Entity: **Once you connect HRIS to Brex, we sync your organization’s legal entities, automatically configuring key global processes such as multi-entity billing.
