AI-powered expense tracking built for remote fintech teams
Remote fintech teams waste hours weekly on manual expense tracking and reimbursements due to a lack of tools designed for distributed workforces.
DistriSpend uses OCR and AI to automatically categorize receipts, flag compliance issues for fintech regs, and streamline approvals across timezones. Teams upload photos of expenses, get instant categorization, and automate reimbursements. No more manual spreadsheets or delays in distributed workflows.
