Challenges at Laguna Tools

  • The finance team at Laguna Tools wanted a platform that automated their entirely spreadsheet based expense management process.
  • Expenses took months to get reimbursed and the team had to put in hours of their productive time to reconcile their multiple credit cards manually.
  • Since everything was manual, the team found it difficult to keep track of all the expenses and there was no visibility over credit card spends.
  • Employees found it difficult saving receipts to attach with the spreadsheets.
  • The receipts were often damaged or misplaced which made it harder for both the finance team and the employees during expense tracking.
  • There was also a risk of human error during the process that could be avoided with an automated system in place.
  • They wanted to transition from using spreadsheets to track and report expenses to a platform that did it all and more for them.
