Budget and expenses always under control

Manage requests online
Edi's request module makes it easy to submit requests of all kinds quickly, whether for travel, training or events. Workflow is independent of expenses management, which ensures that every request is submitted to the right person for approval.
Incidentally, the module is completely paperless. All requests are therefore submitted online, which reduces the company's paper use.
Status and budget always in sight
A request's status can be viewed at any time. Finance and HR departments can also carry out budget comparison and so track the progress of requests. This allows effective business request management and increases the efficiency of your business processes overall.
« Edi covers the whole process, from requests for travel expenses to payment and posting.

Manage successful business trips via Edi
Requests can be forwarded direct from Edi to our business travel partners. Or booked travel can be recorded.
bta first travel
Modern business travel requires more than just efficient booking – it needs integrated processes that connect everything. Together with bta first travel, we offer a comprehensive end-to-end solution that maps out every step seamlessly: from travel management and approval workflows to automated invoicing and insightful reporting. This creates a smooth process that makes business travel smarter, more transparent, and cost-efficient.
autoSense
Business travel recorded in autoSense can be imported direct into Edi. This makes your expenses and travel management even simpler, faster and more transparent. Thanks to autoSense's adapter, every journey is accurately recorded down to the last kilometre and transmitted to Edi. Then the mileage completed just has to be submitted for settlement, and the integrated analytics tool provides you with a real-time overview of all expenses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Travel Requests in Edi?
With travel requests you submit planned business trips for approval before booking – including budget details. This creates transparency, ensures compliance with your guidelines and structures the entire travel process from the start.
Why Should Trips Be Approved before Booking?
A pre-approval gives your company full cost control. Budgets are checked early, guidelines are automatically considered and unexpected expenses are avoided. After approval, Edi starts the defined workflows for booking and subsequent expense processing.
How Does the Approval Process Work?
Employees enter travel data such as destination, period and estimated costs. The responsible approvers check and decide directly in Edi. The workflow is clearly structured, traceable and can be configured independently of the expense workflow.
Can Travel Requests Be Linked with Expenses?
Yes. After approval, Edi automatically assigns all associated expenses to the corresponding travel request. This way planning, budget and actual costs remain linked at all times.
Who May Approve Travel Requests?
The roles can be defined flexibly. Depending on the organisation, line managers, finance or other responsible persons approve – according to your internal rules.
Can Travel Requests Be Adapted to Our Guidelines?
Yes. Forms, mandatory fields and approval levels are adapted to your travel and expense guidelines. This ensures compliance without unnecessarily complicating processes.
Is the Function Suitable for Different Company Sizes?
Yes. Edi grows with your organisation. The travel request function is suitable for small teams as well as for large companies with multi-stage approval processes and complex structures.
