Case Study: Blackstone achieves faster, more accurate expense management with BILL Spend & Expense by Bill.com

How Blackstone scaled expense management while earning rewards

Blackstone, the outdoor cooking company behind the “Cook Anything, Anytime, Anywhere” brand, was struggling to scale expense management as its finance team grew. Its old process relied on manual data entry and disconnected systems, with a credit card platform that frequently crashed, uncategorized transactions, slow receipt handling, and up to $12K a month in petty cash needs. BILL.com’s Spend & Expense solution was brought in to help address these issues.

BILL.com automated Blackstone’s expense workflows, improved categorization and receipt handling, and gave the team better visibility and control over spend. The results were significant: monthly expense review time dropped from three days to about three hours, manual work was minimized, accountability improved for cardholders who failed to complete transactions, petty cash was eliminated through new employee cards, and Blackstone earned over $60,000 in rewards.
