Case Study: The Ben E. Keith Co. streamlines expense management with Commerce Bancshares

Card program pays off.

The Ben E. Keith Co., a major food and beverage distributor, faced a cumbersome and inefficient process where 1,500 employees used personal credit cards for business expenses and submitted paper receipts for reimbursement. To streamline this, they sought a new purchasing card program and selected Commerce Bank as their vendor after a request for proposals.

Commerce Bank implemented a tailored purchasing card solution that integrated with the customer's Chrome River expense reporting platform, automating reconciliation and providing valuable analytics. The program was rolled out methodically to the customer's employees. As a result, Commerce Bank delivered an improved experience, efficient administration, and appealing rebates for The Ben E. Keith Co.
