Case Study: Ashirvad Pipes achieves 3x finance productivity in T&E management with Happay

How Ashirvad Pipes tripled their finance team's productivity in T&E Management

Ashirvad Pipes, a leading CPVC/uPVC plumbing systems manufacturer, faced a highly manual, paper-driven T&E process that slowed reimbursements, caused policy violations and lost receipts, and overloaded a two‑person accounting team. To modernize expense management they partnered with Happay for its T&E solution (ApprovNow, Flexi Cards, SmartAudit, Xpendite) to replace Excel forms, couriered bills and long approval cycles with a digital workflow.

Happay automated Ashirvad Pipes’ end‑to‑end expense lifecycle—mobile receipt capture, ApprovNow approvals, SmartAudit policy flags and Flexi Cards—delivering measurable impact: 3x finance productivity (the 2‑member team now supports 1,000+ employees), ~100% policy compliance, expense filing cut from 2–3 hours to 10–15 minutes (~60% time saved), audit turnaround down to half a day, reimbursements in 3–7 days (vs 15), and combined annual savings of roughly INR 50–70 lakhs.
