About SCL

Silk Contract Logistics (SCL) is a leading Australian logistics company — proudly 100% Australian-owned and ASX listed. They provide integrated, port-to-door, landside logistics services to some of the world's biggest names, headquartered in Melbourne with facilities across all major Australian cities.

SCL encountered challenges in the manual handling of expenses, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and delays in their financial processes. FI Digital identified Zoho Expense as the ideal solution to streamline, automate, and bring full visibility to SCL's expense management.

The Challenge

Manual Processes, Zero Visibility,
Constant Delays

Manual Expense Tracking

Employees lacked records of receipts or submitted expenses late — causing persistent delays in the approval process.

Lack of Policy Compliance

No automated enforcement of expense policies, leaving finance teams unable to control spend at source.

Limited Visibility & Reporting

Finance had no consolidated view of submitted expenses, approval status, or employee spending patterns.

Slow Reimbursements

Manual processes created bottlenecks at every stage — from submission to approval to reimbursement.

The Solution

Expense Automation

Employees submit expenses in minutes using AI-powered receipt scanning — no manual data entry required.
