The new integrations from Coupa, Gusto, and Workato are designed to make it easy for finance teams to connect the Brex Empower spend management platform to existing systems to increase the speed at which they operate while maintaining financial discipline. Brex’s integrations and APIs enable customization, control, and compliance in functions such as employee management in HRIS, ERP integration, data synchronization, and procurement. “Companies spend too much time translating data between multiple systems,” said Henrique Dubugras, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Brex. “After surveying finance leaders, we found that 68% of their teams spend over 30 hours reconciling data for their month-end close. Those are hours that should be spent on more important priorities, and it is our goal to help teams run their business more effectively. That is why we are excited to expand our ecosystem of integrations available through the Brex Empower platform.” Brex, which already enables [over 1,000 integrations](https://www.brex.com/product/integrations/) to help companies automate manual work, has partnered with Coupa, Gusto and Workato to enable: - **Better, faster decisions with real-time financial data. **Brex is building a universal ERP integration which will enable companies to gain a real-time view of their finances by synchronizing _any_ ERP system with Brex in a matter of clicks. - **Continuous close. **Brex Empower will enable a continuous close across financial systems so journal entries can be categorized, prepared, and posted in real-time and automatically reconciled without manual intervention. - **Manage employees faster and more securely. **Brex integrates with the top 35 HR systems, including Gusto (now with next-day payroll), to automatically onboard employees, sync org chart data for expense approvals, and issue corporate cards automatically. - **Approve and pay vendors faster and more securely with Coupa Pay.** Brex customers that use Coupa Pay can leverage the packaged integration to preauthorize spend for more control and visibility, securely automate payments, and eliminate the need for one-time vendor onboarding. Vendor payments and cards sync with budgets to keep company-wide spending aligned with policies. - **Drive financial accountability with custom transaction alerts. **Brex Empower connects with leading integration automation platform Workato so companies can set up custom transaction or payment alerts through any system they already use, including email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp. To learn more, please visit [brex.com/ecosystem](https://www.brex.com/ecosystem) ## Related Articles ### [Brex and Tekion Partner to Bring Embedded Spend Management to the Modern Auto Dealership ](https://www.brex.com/journal/press/brex-for-tekion-spend) Brex is the first fully embedded corporate card and spend management solution that delivers a native spend management experience designed for automotive dealer groups. ### [Brex Helps Power OpenAI Global Spend and Financial Operations](https://www.brex.com/journal/press/brex-helps-power-open-ai-global-spend-and-financial-operations) OpenAI is using Brex to help run their global spend and financial operations. ### [Brex launches AI-native accounting API](https://www.brex.com/journal/press/brex-launches-ai-native-accounting-api) Brex's AI-native Accounting API automates workflows end-to-end and enables deeper integrations with ERP systems and other key integration partners. ### [Brex x FTB](https://www.brex.com/journal/press/brex-announces-partnership-with-fifth-third-bank) Intelligent finance for the businesses that power America: Brex and Fifth Third Bank unite to deliver AI-native corporate cards and automation at unprecedented scale. ### [Brex Announces Partnership with Oracle as First Fintech Global Issuer to Power B2B Payments in Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP](https://www.brex.com/journal/press/brex-announces-partnership-with-oracle-fusion) Powering the future of enterprise payments: Brex is the first fintech embedded in Oracle Cloud ERP, enabling global companies to pay suppliers instantly and intelligently. ### [Brex Announces Launch of Stablecoin Payments](https://www.brex.com/journal/press/brex-announces-launch-of-stablecoin-payments) Powering the next generation of business: Brex will be the first global corporate card to offer instant balance payments with stablecoins, helping customers operate globally with speed.
