Pathway Net Key Benefits
As the single access point for your card program data, using
Pathway Net provides you with the following benefits:
Comprehensive
expense management
- Timely expense reporting—Pathway
Net is available to customers of banks that use TSYS as
their commercial card processor. Pathway Net’s transaction
data is updated daily using data feeds directly from TSYS.
Instead of having to wait for monthly statements, cardholders
can complete expense reports promptly after incurring expenses,
even while traveling.
- Out-of-pocket expense submission—Using
Pathway Net’s expense report system, cardholders can
easily enter out-of-pocket expenses to be included on their
expense reports.
- Personal expense exclusion—Cardholders
can flag personal expense transactions, so that those expenses
are accurately reflected on expense reports to improve your
account reconciliation process.

Streamlined
approval processes
- Automatic approval routing—Pathway
Net facilitates expense approvals through automated expense
report and statement routing. Pathway Net automatically
routes expense reports and statements for approval based
on the hierarchy you define to reflect your organization's
structure and business rules. Approved expense reports and
statements are routed to the next approval level. Rejected
expense reports and statements are returned to the submitter
for correction.
- E-mail notifications—Pathway Net
shortens the approval cycle by sending e-mails to notify
approving managers when expense reports or statements are
ready for their review.

Efficient, automated
accounting allocation
- Automated allocation of transactions—Using
Pathway Net, you are able to automatically allocate transactions
to accounting codes, ensuring accurate allocation and eliminating
manual processing of individual transactions. Accounting
allocation codes are automatically assigned to transactions
based on business rules that you define. You establish the
types of allocation available and the order in which allocation
rules are applied.
- Split allocation of single transactions—Pathway
Net also allows you to split a transaction into segments
and allocate each segment to a separate accounting code,
improving the accuracy of the allocation.

Real-time card
and hierarchy management
- Online card maintenance—With Pathway
Net, your authorized program administrator has the option
of linking directly to the card processor to obtain real-time
account and transaction information. Card accounts can be
updated instantaneously for changes to transaction authorizations,
credit and velocity limits, and cardholder information.
- Streamlined hierarchy management—Pathway
Net’s real-time link to the processor also streamlines
hierarchy management, allowing you to make unit changes
effective immediately at the processor to improve the accuracy
of future transaction data.

Custom data files
and reports
- Custom data files—ProCard will
work with your organization to define custom data files
called “mappers” that let you pull data from
Pathway Net in a format that can be imported into your existing
accounting, HR, and ERP systems.
- Custom reporting—ProCard will
work with your organization to create custom reports that
meet your specific reporting needs. Custom reports are design
with the format and content to conform to your workflow
processes.
