Case Study: Higgins Coatings achieves real-time spend control and staff efficiency with Archa

Higgins Coatings saves 756 hours annually with Archa

Higgins Coatings, Australia's leading commercial painting provider, faced a challenge with their legacy bank cards, which lacked real-time data and caused "blind spending" among their dispersed teams. This forced their finance department into a reactive cycle of manual limit checks and top-ups to prevent card declines. The company turned to Archa to replace their outdated corporate card program.

By implementing Archa Business Credit Cards, Higgins Coatings gained real-time visibility and control over spending. The solution integrated seamlessly with their existing SAP Concur system, eliminating manual administrative tasks. As a result, the finance team saved 756 hours annually and $25k in equivalent dollars from new efficiencies. Additionally, Archa's rewards program allowed the company to generate tangible value from its operational spend.
