Vertical Expense, a French start-up specialising in expense management, was present to draw inspiration from these advances and contribute to a more responsible future.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:26px\">1. CES : a springboard for digital innovation<\/h2>\n\n<p>For 4 days, start-up <a title=\"Vertical Expense\" href=\"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/about-vertical\/\">Vertical Expense<\/a> walked the aisles of CES to discover and contribute to the innovations of tomorrow:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>4 days during which technology knows no bounds :<\/strong> advances in cloud computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality offer concrete opportunities to improve companies&#8217; production, organisation, sales and service processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 days during which creative stimulation is at its peak :<\/strong> the most disruptive and futuristic ideas integrate complex organisational models more efficiently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 days during which innovation is at the service of a better tomorrow :<\/strong> innovations in the fields of health, the environment and mobility are gaining ground to meet the challenges facing society.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>4 days during which the new products are full of meaning and value :<\/strong> tools based on artificial intelligence and data analysis are helping to diagnose and treat illnesses, improve energy efficiency and combat climate change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve moved on from a &#8216;gadget&#8217; technological era to a digital era that is rooted in sustainable, ethical and responsible digital transformation !<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:26px\">2. Digital innovation for a better world<\/h2>\n\n<p>Among all the new ideas being put forward by companies and start-ups, there is a clear desire <strong>to give meaning to innovation !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why this year&#8217;s <strong>trends<\/strong> are moving towards more <strong>connected healthcare<\/strong>, <strong>smarter mobility<\/strong> and a <strong>more controlled impact on the environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>And in these areas, <strong>the 175 French start-ups<\/strong> present at CES, including Vertical Expense<strong>,<\/strong> demonstrated their talent for creating <strong>digital tools <\/strong> and <strong>solutions <\/strong> to meet the challenges facing our society.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:26px\">3. AI and data analysis : towards more ethical and responsible decisions<\/h2>\n\n<p>In practical terms, <strong>artificial intelligence<\/strong> and <strong>data analysis<\/strong> can be used to develop a range of functionalities to help companies make <strong>more informed and ethical decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For example, the Vertical Expense application helps companies manage their expense accounts with a functional layer that measures <a title=\"the carbon impact of business travel\" href=\"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/company-carbon-footprint\/\">the carbon impact of business trips<\/a>, whatever the means of transport used. In the same vein, the solution includes <a title=\"[Features] Optimise financial management\" href=\"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/mileage-allowances\/\">the calculation of mileage allowances for electric or hybrid vehicles<\/a>, as well as all other modes of transport linked to the sustainable mobility package. This data is then integrated into an <a title=\"[Features] Optimise financial management\" href=\"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/expense-report-management\/\">intelligent Dashboard<\/a> and processed according to the <strong>key indicators<\/strong> needed to assess the impact of its sustainable actions and <strong>publish its carbon footprint<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Business process automation: a lever for sustainable performance<\/h3>\n\n<p>Another factor in digital innovation is <strong>automation !<\/strong> Unlike industrial robotics<strong>, business process automation<\/strong> solutions are often complex, connected to several IT systems and designed to meet a company&#8217;s specific needs. And French start-ups are stepping up their efforts to develop <strong>powerful algorithms<\/strong> for automating low added-value tasks.<\/p>\n\n<p>The first corporate departments to benefit from these <strong>&#8216;All In One&#8217; solutions<\/strong> are often the human resources and finance departments, which carry out <strong>a series of repetitive tasks<\/strong> such as <a title=\"[Features] To improve productivity\" href=\"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/automation-of-expense-reports\/\">checking, controlling and validating<\/a> business expenses. The digital solution streamlines the process by <strong>dematerialising the entire user journey<\/strong> through to payment of the expense report.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-decoration:underline\"><strong>And the benefits are many :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Save paper and printing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced risk of error<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decompartmentalising services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improving human relations by removing unnecessary points of friction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Digitising business processes<\/strong> means that companies can involve their employees more closely and facilitate <strong>access to information.<\/strong> A positive sign for the future.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Accessibility-focused digital innovation for an inclusive company<\/h3>\n\n<p>The number of so-called <strong>Accessibility functionalities<\/strong> is increasing across all digital business solutions. Thanks to AI, they can deliver the same <strong>quality of experience<\/strong> to the hearing and visually impaired. For example, <strong>voice recognition<\/strong> and <strong>automatic transcription<\/strong> have become standard in collaborative tools. But other innovative features have also been added, such as :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dictation&#8221; functions on the keyboard and screen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>subtitling of IRL conversations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transcription of live and recorded videoconferences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instant sign language translation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Locating for blind people<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>These innovations show that digital solutions are increasingly being developed on <a title=\"Our solution\" href=\"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/expense-notes-software\/\">a &#8220;One to One&#8221; basis<\/a>, with highly customisable interfaces. Employees with disabilities are integrated into <strong>a dedicated workspace<\/strong> for greater comfort and agility.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":8432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[60],"tags":[140],"class_list":["post-23330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-post","tag-innovation-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/verticalexpense.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
