Case Study: Hallam achieves real-time budget control and eliminates expense chaos with Spendesk

Hallam eliminates expense chaos with Spendesk and achieves 100% adoption

Hallam, a marketing agency with a distributed team across the UK and Europe, faced significant challenges managing company spend. Their use of shared credit cards created reconciliation chaos, a lack of real-time budget visibility, and issues with ghost subscriptions from former employees. They needed an advanced spend management platform to support growth and maintain control, leading them to implement Spendesk.

By adopting Spendesk, Hallam provided individual virtual and physical cards to all team members, enabling clear ownership and automated approval workflows. The solution integrated fully with Xero, streamlining the month-end close with pre-categorized expenses. Results included the complete elimination of shared card risks and ghost subscriptions, real-time budget visibility for managers, reduced foreign exchange fees, and a significantly reduced administrative workload. Spendesk delivered full control and 100% process adoption across the company.
