Case Study: Plan A saves 2 days a month with Payhawk spend management

Supporting a lean finance team with spend automation at Plan A

Plan A, a Berlin-based corporate decarbonisation and ESG optimisation software provider, needed a better way to manage business spend with a lean finance team. Before working with Payhawk, the company handled invoices, expenses, approvals, and payments manually across Slack, email, DATEV, and bank integrations, with no standardised process, limited access to company cards, and weak visibility for audit and control.

Payhawk provided Plan A with a spend management solution including corporate Visa cards and expense management software, plus automation, AI, and integrated support. As a result, Plan A saved two days of manual finance admin per month, strengthened spend control and audit trails, improved approval flows and budget monitoring, and was able to keep finance operations lean while scaling employee card access.
