"Life Is Out There".
Founded in 1988 by Jules Leaver and Tim Slade
Fat Face is a chain of clothing retailers selling its own branded products
While originally marketed as active outdoor clothing, it is also increasingly a fashion brand
The chain sells clothes aimed at men, women and children interested in active lifestyles
The company has over 190 stores in the United Kingdom, with international stores in Singapore, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, France, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar
"Life Is Out There".
Members of the Fat Face management team travel a great deal in their various roles
Area managers tend to spend a lot of time travelling around the many stores within their allotted region
Similarly, senior members of staff at head office incur an array of expenses, both across the UK and overseas, which includes attending meetings with suppliers, visiting trade shows and working on location during fashion shoots
"Life Is Out There".
All members of Fat Face’s management team are issued with a company credit card, with which to pay for expenses
The WebExpenses solution has made it far easier for this group of employees to process their expenses accurately and swiftly with the introduction of a credit card interface
This feature reduces processing costs and improves data quality by pre-populating expenses with corporate credit card data
Now the employees can simply upload their expenses form, which can be matched against receipts, for a quick authorisation
"Life Is Out There".
Corinne Tyler, Finance Manager at Fat Face says –
“In addition to time and cost-saving benefits, the new expenses package supplied by WebExpenses also helps us by giving a clear picture of what claims have been submitted by whom and when, which allows us to chase up staff that haven’t filed their expenses claim by the given deadline. It also gives the company a good overview of where and how its employees are spending money, which aids longer term budgeting and cost-efficiency.”
