Airport Food Operator, OTG Management, Teams Up with capturengoTM to Promote Its Mobile Expense Management Application for BlackBerry and iPhone Devices
Partnership to educate business travelers on new and efficient ways to manage expenses and business cards at OTG dining establishments in airports across the US.
Online, July 18, 2010 (Newswire.com) - OTG Management (OTG), known for making award-winning airport dining establishments, is helping their core clientele, the business traveler, stay more organized. Teaming up with Melville-based capturengo, OTG will help to educate and promote capturengo's mobile expense management application and cloud computing solution at their 90 restaurant locations in airports across the US.
Beginning this summer, all of OTG's restaurants and dining venues will be promoting the capturengo expense management solution by handing out educational literature at the conclusion of each transaction and providing demonstrations on capturengo's mobile app, cloud storage environment and expense reporting tools.
"Expense management now begins with the smartphone at the point of sale", says David Peskin, Chairman and founder of capturengo. "After all what good is a scanner if you have already lost the receipt? Road warriors are addicted to their smartphone, creating a mobile app that helps to organize receipts at the transaction point makes complete sense. We have combined mobile technology and cloud computing giving the road warrior the best of both worlds."
Implementing avant-garde technology has always been a hallmark of OTG. The firm behind the award-winning restaurants at JFK's Terminal 5 and the creator of re:vive, a touch screen computer kiosk allowing users to order food right at the terminal gate, OTG revolutionized travelers' airport experiences. "To educate business travelers about a cutting-edge expense management solution will leave a lasting impression," says Rick Blatstein, CEO of OTG Management. He adds "a solution like capturengo will solve a fundamental issue of losing receipts and will ultimately help them save money. Our corporate philosophy has always been to implement user-friendly technology to enhance overall experiences. capturengo is a nice complement to our business and can enhance our users experiences at the airport."
The capturengo solution is made up of a mobile application used to capture receipts, code expenses (i.e. dinner, hotel, taxi) and add notes about the reason for the expense. The image is then sent to the processing center and information is extracted and entered into their database. Users can access their secure and confidential capturengo account to create expense reports in minutes, print out logs of receipt images by date or project name and run spending reports. Ultimately, users can house electronic images of all their receipts right in capturengo's cloud environment. In addition to receipt management, the company offers a business card processing system that accurately extracts data from business cards and sends a vCard for download within an hour - alleviating the hassle of keying-in contact information.
"According to our internal research, the average business traveler racks up $1,000 a year in expenses that can't be reimbursed because back-up receipts have been lost" adds Mr. Peskin. A frequent business traveler, Greg Osinoff says "the capturengo solution has saved me a ton of time and money - on average, I travel 2 weeks a month and being able to capture images of receipts using my iPhone is easy. I always would lose a cab receipt or lunch receipt. Now I just capture my receipts right on the spot and access them later right in my capturengo account."
