by AppZen February 6, 2019

We’re thrilled that we’ve been named a gold winner of the Fastest Growing Company of the Year — Small Category in Best in Biz Awards, the only independent business awards program judged each year by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America.

AppZen is the first company to bring AI to the enterprise back office with a sophisticated platform automating the slow and error-prone spend audit process. Companies using our platform enjoy massive improvements in expense reimbursement turnaround times as they jump from auditing 10 percent of all expense items to auditing 100 percent, in minutes. Companies like Amazon, Citi, and Salesforce have used our platform to transform the way they audit spend — using data to make smart decisions, and creating a more pleasant expense culture for everyone.

Each year, Best in Biz Awards entrants range from recognizable global brands to innovative startups. The 8th annual program attracted close to 700 entries from an impressive array of public and private companies of all sizes and North American locations. Best in Biz Awards 2018 honors were conferred in 70 different categories, including Company of the Year, Fastest-Growing Company, Most Innovative Company, Best Place to Work, Support Department, Executive of the Year, Most Innovative Product, Best New Service, CSR Program, Marketing Campaign, and Blog of the Year.

“We are honored that some of the most influential decision-makers in our industry have recognized our impact and success in transforming the enterprise back office with AI,” said our CEO Anant Kale. “We are delighted by our growth over the last year, growing our the number of companies using AppZen from 30 to more than 800 by year end. With continued industry recognition, a stellar team and a healthy pipeline, 2019 is set to be AppZen’s best year yet.”

Since 2011, winners in Best in Biz Awards have been determined based on scoring from independent judging panels deliberately composed each year of prominent editors and reporters from some of the most respected newspapers, TV outlets, and business, consumer, technology and trade publications in North America.
