Case Study: BEAT81 reduces payment errors and saves time with Lano

BEAT81 uses Lano to power global payments for 300+ contractors

BEAT81, a Berlin-based fitness startup offering group workouts with heart rate tracking across Europe, needed a better way to manage its growing network of 300+ freelance coaches. As the company expanded into multiple cities, its manual Excel-based processes for onboarding, invoice processing, and contractor payments became increasingly time-consuming and error-prone.

Using Lano’s platform, BEAT81 centralized freelancer management, compliant contract templates, invoice approvals, and international payments in one place. With Lano, the company cut invoice approval and payment time by 80% and reduced payment transaction errors by 98%, while freeing up the team to focus more on growth.
