Case Study: Sq1 Ad Agency achieves streamlined payments and $100,000+ cash-back revenue with Edenred Pay

Sq1, a national digital ad agency, streamlines payments and increases revenue with the help of CSI Paysystems

Sq1 Ad Agency, a national digital advertising agency, struggled to reconcile and report paid-search (PPC) spend across multiple campaigns, vendors and clients using paper invoices and disparate credit card reports. To solve this, Sq1 turned to Edenred Pay and its virtual payment solutions (virtual/ghost cards and corporate purchasing cards via CSI Paysystems) for a scalable, automated way to capture campaign-level detail and enforce spend controls.

Edenred Pay implemented client- and campaign-specific virtual and ghost cards with spend limits, real-time reporting and a single dashboard for 24/7 visibility, plus account setup and training. The solution simplified reconciliations, allowed tracking by client, campaign and vendor, automated workflows, and generated measurable upside—cash-back rebates delivered more than $100,000 in new revenue for Sq1 in 2013—while improving security and operational efficiency.
