Case Study: 86 Repairs achieves 8 hours/month savings in expense management with Brex

Saving 8 hours per month in expense management and receipt capture

86 Repairs, a Chicago-based subscription service that manages restaurant repairs, was burdened by personally guaranteed bank cards that offered a poor application and usage experience, made it hard to build business credit, and created painful expense reimbursement workflows. To address this, 86 Repairs adopted Brex’s startup credit card solution along with its QuickBooks integration.

Brex issued virtual and physical cards quickly (5-minute application, 10-day implementation), providing immediate virtual cards for new hires and consolidated visibility into spend through QuickBooks. The Brex solution streamlined receipt capture and expense reporting, stopped finance from chasing receipts, helped build business credit, and saved the team about 8 hours per month in expense management while enabling faster closes and easier budget reviews.
