Case Study: Merit Distribution Group achieves greater savings and productivity with Bill.com

How Merit Distribution Group increases company worth while saving money

Merit Distribution Group, a fast-growing distributor serving more than 10,500 stores nationwide, needed a better way to manage heavy card spending and time-consuming expense reports for its traveling sales team. Before switching, employees were using a costly expense system and company cards that delivered weak cash-back returns, while sales reps lost hours each month on manual reporting. Merit Distribution Group chose BILL Spend & Expense from Bill.com to simplify spend management and improve productivity.

With BILL Spend & Expense, Merit Distribution Group rolled out a more structured budget and workflow process, plus a mobile app that lets sales reps capture receipts and submit expenses in real time. The result was happier, more productive employees and major savings: over 250 salespeople were spending 4 to 8 hours a month on reports before the switch, and the company has processed nearly $64 million through BILL Spend & Expense in two and a half years, increasing cash back and boosting enterprise value.
