Case Study: AspireIQ halves month-end close and unifies spend management with Airbase

AspireIQ and Airbase A controller’s comprehensive evaluation of spend management platforms

Aspire (AspireIQ), a community intelligence marketing platform, needed to replace fragmented spend processes and shorten a 21-day month-end close. Dmitri Litin, Controller at Aspire, ran a comprehensive vendor evaluation for a single, low-friction spend management solution and selected Airbase for its combined corporate and virtual cards, purchase orders, invoicing, approvals, and bill-pay capabilities.

Airbase consolidated all spend into one platform, replacing Bill.com and standardizing approval workflows to create accountability and transparency; the result was a halving of month‑end close time, roughly $5K/month saved from reduced wasted spend, compromised-card responses reduced from hours to minutes, and a delayed need to upgrade QuickBooks—delivering measurable efficiency and agility for Aspire.
