Case Study: GWI achieves global spend control and faster month-end close with Spendesk

GWI streamlines spend management with Spendesk and achieves 95% receipt compliance

GWI, a global market intelligence company, faced significant challenges managing spend across its five international offices. With only a few shared corporate cards, employees had to use personal funds and wait for reimbursement, while the finance team struggled with manual receipt collection, poor spend visibility, and multi-day month-end closes. To modernize its processes, GWI implemented the Spendesk platform.

By using Spendesk's physical and virtual cards with robust approval controls, GWI automated receipt capture and gained real-time spend visibility. The solution resulted in a 95% receipt compliance rate, reduced the month-end close process from several days to just one, and provided a seamless mobile experience for employees, eliminating payment failures during critical travel and client meetings.
