The following languages and their variants are now available to users of ExpenseLink and Ceridian Expense Manager:
  • English (US/UK)
  • French (France/Canada)
  • Spanish (Spain/Latin America)
  • Italian
  • Portuguese (Portugal/Brazil)
  • German
  • Chinese (Hong Kong/Taiwan)

With this expanded capability, Gelco now offers greater global expense management capabilities to organizations than any other service. "The depth of our global language capabilities is unique and the broadest in the industry," said Jeff Cronin, Vice President of Solutions Marketing for Gelco Expense Management. “It reflects Gelco’s understanding that clients operate globally in today’s business environment.”
