The challenge

The existing process relied on employees manually recording journeys and claims. At scale, this created thousands of hours spent submitting and correcting claims — and unnecessary spend from incorrect, duplicate or out-of-policy expenses.

  • £54M+ annual turnover
  • 24M+ pieces sourced annually
  • 30+ global retail partners
  • 30+ years of industry experience

What Digital1 built

A mobile-first, AI-powered expense platform. Employees record journeys, multi-stop routes and capture parking, tolls and travel directly from their phone — with AI extracting receipts, calculating mileage, categorising spend, validating claims and surfacing exceptions before they reach finance.
