How Enterprise Expense Management SAAS Happay Emerged as a Leader among Global Giants

The global expense management software market was valued at over 4,000 million USD in 2021. By 2027, experts expect it to reach a valuation of over 6,900 million USD. When the demand for certain services is that high, mass-service providers emerge in the industry.

Then, we see the emergence of global giants like SAP Concur, Webexpenses, Expensify, etc., dominating the world market. While these giants enjoy a fair market share in a global landscape, up-and-coming players challenge them in the countries they have a presence in. One such player that is blazing its way through the T&E software landscape and emerging as a leader among global players is Happay.

The India-based T&E management tool was founded in 2012. Even though it started in an industry that was already dominated by international players, it managed to rapidly increase its value and has now launched multiple verticals.

Happay has maintained its brand name and reputation since its inception- it has won the CIO's ‘Gold Seal of Trust' award for Travel and Expense Management three different times in 2023, 2020, and 2019. G2 has also recently announced Happay as a leader in the "travel and expense software" and "expense management software" industries.

Diversity or Expertise- What Worked?

When a product defies all odds and rises against top competitors, the question that comes to the surface is ‘how.' Is it the diverse portfolio of its offerings or the specificity of its features that has done the trick?

The answer, is both. For instance, Happay has various products that cater to every single expense need of a CFO. Let's look at Happay's top offerings.

Petty cash management is a major challenge that large, multi-branch organizations face. The petty cash fund amounts to a great sum; however, it is difficult to manage, curtail, or handle it efficiently.

A Thought Leader and Facilitator

Happay has been in the T&E management game for a long time now. The team understands that standing out takes much more than a great product and exemplary service. A lot of Happay's brand power comes from its thought leadership and event facilitation. You can always recognize and appreciate their unique presence in CFO-centric events, where they come in with the latest industry insights, games, quizzes, and more.

Happay also organizes various self-hosted events like the NXT Bash 22' & 23' and the TEPCON' 23, where they share news about futuristic technology and the latest best practices with various finance leaders and, in turn, facilitate a T&E dialogue between experts.

Happay Is on Its Way to Global Leadership

Happay is already an industry leader in its home country, India, with over 7000 customers, processing over $3 billion in payment volumes and over 3 million expense reports annually. Having worked with customers like the TATA group, PwC, Maruti, OYO, Byju's, Udaan, etc, Happay has proved that it can handle T&E processes for mammoth companies with expert-level precision.

Slowly and steadily, Happay is making its way through other industry-centric Middle East and Southeast Asia nations and establishing itself as a platform with international reach and global presence.
