Case Study: Dovetail regains visibility and control of team spend with Airwallex virtual cards

Dovetail regained visibility and control of team spend with Airwallex virtual cards

Dovetail, a Sydney-based digital agency, was growing quickly and managing expenses across multiple clients with a single corporate card. This made it hard to track spend by employee, created security concerns, and led to wasted time chasing receipts and unused SaaS subscriptions. Airwallex helped Dovetail address these challenges with its Spend and virtual cards solution.

With Airwallex, Dovetail issued dedicated virtual cards for employees and for individual SaaS subscriptions, giving the team real-time visibility, flexible spend limits, and easier control over spending. The company saved up to 3 hours each week on receipt chasing, reduced monthly SaaS spend by 10–15% by eliminating unused subscriptions, and cut international card transaction fees by 3% on USD-priced tools like Figma, GitHub, and Slack.
