Employees help all over the Czech Republic and abroad

Since Charity CR employees provide services throughout the Czech Republic and abroad, they dealt with a number of travel expenses. There was a lot of administration and time involved. They were looking for an efficient tool to process business travel and billing.

According to Jitka Jandáková, head of the economic and administrative department, the worst was the inefficiency of work. The main reason was that it took a lot of time for employees who went on business trips to fill in the excel file for the trip, the application and the billing. Because they weren’t using up-to-date forms, they weren’t delivering receipts, they were delivering everything late. And this then bothered or complicated the work of Jitka’s colleagues in the economic department, who had to check everything, return it for completion and wait for it.

What bothered me there, in short, was the inefficiency of the work. When you're working with grants and projects, all the processes that hold up billing are complicated.

Connection to the attendance system

The Charity of the Czech Republic introduced an attendance system and was looking for a system that would be compatible with it. They went through a selection process, looked at about three systems and decided on Fidoo.

They have been using it since 2O21, when they first started piloting it on a few employees. They introduced 1-2 team cards, tried it all and gradually added almost all users.

Process dynamics and connection to accounting software

According to Jitka, all the agenda related to business trips and their accounting is now dynamic and paperless. Employees have time to do their work instead of doing paperwork and filling out forms.

It was a big change, but since it was demanded from below, convincing employees to learn the new system was not that difficult. They themselves perceived that the existing system did not suit them.

The Charity of the Czech Republic, however, has taken the use of Fidoo one step further and instead of exporting data as part of the billing and then uploading it to their accounting system, Fidoo now works directly with the accounting software via API.

Fidoo to the whole network of charities

This positive experience has been transferred within the network between archdiocesan and diocesan charities. Fidoo assists employees not only in processing the application but also in archiving receipts.

Measures from the corporation: minimising cash

At Fresenius Kabi Horátev, they dealt with a corporate measure that required limiting cash in the cash register. Specific purposethe stakes were clear: transfer all financial transactions to cashless transactions.

The team of the CEO Iva Macková started looking for a solution that would meet these requirements.

Resolving the corporate request was not entirely easy because we have a designated bank in the Czech Republic that we use for other financial services, but it does not issue cards. So we had to find a partner here to help us with the situation.

Cashless payment and simplified services

The company has over 500 employees, of which 100 work in administration. Ivy’s team was looking for a solution for them, both for the aforementioned cashless payment and for the purpose of simplifying the agenda related to business trips, which were administratively and time-consuming.

The Fidoo application has been in use at Fresenius Kabi Horátev for more than 10 years, when it was still operating under the name Expensa. My colleague Ivy from the finance department did some research on the internet and came across the tool.

Automatic card reload and rule settings

Currently, almost all users have a card. Some cards are not permanently charged and the company sets maximum limits according to individual user requirements. They are mostly used by buyers. who have their cards permanently loaded.

As soon as they make a payment, everything appears directly in the app. Later on, they upload a specific receipt in PDF form. This way, the Ivy team can immediately see the status of each card and no one forgets anything.

In the case of business trips, it also saves a lot of paperwork, as requests for business trips are made directly in the app. Again, all expenses related to the business trip can be seen together, whether it be fuel, airfare, dinners, etc.

Elimination of paper documentation and error-free accounting processes.

The introduction of the Fidoo application has helped Kabi Horatev to save human resources in the financial accounting department. Employees appreciate the user-friendliness of the app and are happy to get rid of all the paper documentation.

Accounting in this mode can be easily subjected to financial audit. For Iva and her team, Fidoo is also a kind of control tool that guarantees error-free accounting processes.

Complicated issue of finance to drivers on the road

Logistics company DOSI Transport s.r.o. addressed how to deal with personal finances of drivers on the road. They approached their bank to set up 20 credit cards based on the number of employees at the time. However, this was not without complications.

The bank had a lot of problems with this and it was necessary to create a lot of personal accounts or company accounts and 5 cards for each of them, which was an unnecessary complication from the company’s point of view. This agenda is in charge of the company’s HR manager Aleš Raško, whose capacity was significantly reduced by the whole process.

It bothered me that I had to go to the bank with each driver and create their personal identity. In the beginning with 10 employees it was fine, but then as we grew to some 60 employees at the moment, the process became logistically impossible for me.

Not only the functionality of the solution, but also the integration of the system

As the solution through the bank was complicated for all parties, Mr Raška decided to look for other options. He searched through an internet search engine according to the requirements, not only on the basis of functionality in terms of distributing money to drivers, but also in terms of the possibility of integrating the system and its further use in the company.

So he came across Fidoo, approached the sales representative and they agreed on a course of action. Fidoo has been used historically for a long time, since the days when it was still operating under the name Expensa.

Automatic card reload and rule settings

Currently, the process is that when a new driver is hired at DOSI Transport, Mr. Raška creates a profile in Fidoo, orders a card and sets up an automatic top-up with a limit amount. In this case, it amounts to CZK 5,000, which is automatically topped up and made up if it falls below this amount; the monthly limit is then set at CZK 40,000.

These rules are anchored in an internal directive and are communicated to drivers in advance. If one of them needs more money, he asks the dispatcher, who then lets Mr. Rasek know and he recharges his card in a few clicks. This process has worked well at DOSI Transport and everyone is happy.

Elimination of cash

Mr Raška sees the long-term impact of Fidoo primarily in the elimination of cash, which does not have to be physically collected, handed over to drivers, and then somehow accounted for and distributed. One compliant card has simplified the allocation of funds to staff on the move.
