TIS Inc., a member of the TIS INTEC Group, is pleased to announce that it has introduced “Spendia,” a cloud-based expense reimbursement system from its business management service group “ACTIONARISE,” to Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd., promoting digital transformation including smartphone support for expense reports and paperless invoices. With one of the largest implementations of “Spendia” and expanded use across the group, the company has achieved a pioneering shift to cloud accounting infrastructure.
Spendia, a cloud-based expense reimbursement system provided by TIS, is an expense reimbursement cloud service developed to suit Japanese systems and business practices, based on the knowledge gained from over 20 years of providing expense reimbursement systems. Although it is a SaaS, it has a wealth of functionality and flexibility that can meet the unique requirements of large companies, and is characterized by the convenience of being able to complete expense reimbursement via a smartphone app. In addition to expense reimbursement, it also allows users to complete all operations, such as recording receivables and payables, creating transfer slips, and various applications, all on one platform.
The accounting department of Tokyo Gas, which supports the energy infrastructure in the Tokyo metropolitan area, was planning a complete overhaul of its accounting platform as the maintenance period for the on-premise accounting system that it had been using for over 20 years since 2002 expired. The previous accounting platform only had a single level of approval workflow and did not support applications via smartphone, but converting the accounting platform to SaaS increased flexibility and made it easier to incorporate new technologies and functions, which led to the consideration of accounting digital transformation.

Tokyo Gas therefore migrated its accounting system to the cloud-based “SAP S/4HANA® Cloud” and adopted a “SaaS first” approach, extracting accounting application work that had previously been handled through scratch development into SaaS. The key was the existence of a SaaS that could handle Tokyo Gas’s unique accounting application work. Approximately 30% of Tokyo Gas’s employees are directly involved in issuing accounting documents, such as “projected income reports” arising from businesses other than gas and electricity, and “transfer reports” that readjust recorded expenses between organizations. Ideally, a single SaaS would be able to cover all accounting application work, not just expense reimbursements, and the company began selecting a product that met these conditions.
