Pain Point: Difficulty in processing manual payments and tracking employee allowance

The online world has made it possible for anyone to access information and services in minutes. However, digital companies like RevoU, initially found it difficult to pay suppliers and employees, especially when payments are done manually through bank transfers, and payment receipts should be kept and consolidated from different employees who may have incurred the expense

”We used to spend time checking if the payments for our advertising costs and employee allowance were already made and we manually needed to submit proofs of bank transfers which is time-consuming and taxing for everyone”, Finance Executive, Winda, mentioned.

As RevoU gradually grew its professional manpower, the entire business process became even more challenging when the management needed to make payments for their employees’ benefits, too.

”The struggle of tracking and reconciling payments became a little more critical when we considered how employee benefits are paid out by the company. We needed to manually check for employee payment details each month and make sure that the money reached the right account.”

RevoU also pointed out how inefficient the entire payment process was, considering how payments are made to different banks in different locations. The expense for employee allowance also included payments for books and e-books, online courses, mental health support, and any other thing that will be useful for self-improvement.

”Some employees receive the benefits and reimbursements earlier than others and there were times when we paid more and even less because there was no seamless way of evaluating the exact payment amount.”

RevoU started to realize the need for a payment platform that can be integrated into their accounting software and that allows for automating payments and tracking them.

”We were on the hunt for an online tool or a platform that could ease the payment process of digital companies like us, whose assets and vendors are remotely located in different parts of the world.”

As a digital company, RevoU knows there is one payment platform out there that could help them achieve their goal of unifying payments and making it easy for them to manage their expenses. Without hesitations, RevoU considered Spenmo’s digital payment solutions

RevoU onboarded Spenmo for the following reasons:

• The need to make timely payments for suppliers, employees, and other vendors that they do business with locally and remotely.
• To have a payment solution that will eliminate manual employee reimbursements
• To record, track and manage all their expenses and have them accessible in a single dashboard for efficient evaluation and review.
