Travel & Advance Requests
Employees ask for an advance before the trip, with the purpose and amount on record.
Advances, train and flight tickets, hotel stays and daily claims, raised from the phone with a photo of the bill. Managers approve in one tap and accounts settle the advance against the claim.
iPresent expense management handles employee reimbursement from start to finish. A sales executive asks for a travel advance, books a train or hotel through a ticket request, adds bills from the road and submits the claim. The manager approves it, accounts sees the advance already set off against it, and with the Tally add-on, the entry lands in your books.
It suits businesses with people who travel or spend on the company’s behalf: field sales, service engineers, site supervisors and branch managers. iPresent by Infoways is set up by our team in Mahape, Navi Mumbai, and we support companies in Mumbai, Thane, Pune and all over India. Expenses come in the Essential Expenses and Enterprise plans.




Every claim carries its bill, its approver and its advance.

Train, flight and hotel bookings requested through one form instead of separate emails.
Snap a photo of the bill in the app and attach it to the claim on the spot.
Managers approve from their phone, and larger claims can go through more than one level.
The advance already given is adjusted against the claim, so only the balance is paid or recovered.
Approved expenses create entries automatically, and sync to Tally with the add-on.

If your claims feed into salary, see how the Tally plan works on the payroll management software page.
Share your current policy, even if it is one page. We note expense types, daily limits and who can travel where.
Fuel, local travel, food, lodging, tickets and client entertainment, matched to how your accountant wants them.
For example, team leader up to Rs 5,000 and branch head above it. You choose the levels and the people.
With the Tally add-on, we map each expense head to your ledgers so entries go to the right place.

Expenses are in the Essential Expenses plan at Rs 450 per app user per year, which also includes attendance, assets and self-service. Enterprise at Rs 540 adds timesheets as well. Each web dashboard user is Rs 3,600 a year, and Tally integration is a Rs 3,600 yearly add-on. A 40-person field team with one accounts login would pay Rs 18,000 plus Rs 3,600, Rs 21,600 a year before GST, or Rs 25,200 with Tally. All plans are on the iPresent pricing page.
A logistics firm in JNPT and Uran pays drivers and supervisors for tolls, food and small repairs every week. With claims on the phone, each payout has a bill and an approver, and advances given at the yard are settled before the next trip.
A pharma field sales team in Navi Mumbai claims daily allowance and local travel. Because iPresent also records GPS check-ins at client visits, a manager can see the day’s visits next to the day’s claim. See the employee tracking app for how field check-ins work.
A construction contractor gives site supervisors cash for small purchases like cement bags, diesel for a pump or a day’s labour transport. Each spend goes in as a claim with a bill photo against that advance, so the office knows what is still unaccounted for at any site, any day.
Do not set too many approval levels. Three people approving a Rs 300 auto bill only slows down reimbursement and annoys staff. Keep one level for small amounts. Do not skip the policy step either: software follows rules, so if your limits are unclear on paper, they will be unclear in the app. And if only two or three people ever claim expenses, the Standard plan with claims handled by accounts may be enough.
Claims are better with attendance and Tally behind them.
