Case Study: LloydsDirect achieves 80% monthly finance time savings and faster reconciliation with Spendesk

How LloydsDirect upgraded its entire spending structure with Spendesk

LloydsDirect, a UK digital pharmacy, struggled with fragmented, manual spend processes—employee expenses, subscription payments on shared credit cards, slow month‑end reconciliation and new remote‑work challenges. To modernize spending, they implemented Spendesk’s all‑in‑one spend management platform (virtual cards, expense claims, allowance controls) with native Xero integration.

Spendesk delivered a single hub for cards, subscriptions and expenses, automated receipt chasing and real‑time posting to Xero, and simple work‑from‑home allowances. The result: LloydsDirect cut finance team time managing transactions by 80%, sped up month‑end closes, avoided hiring despite rapid growth, and gained much clearer, more granular reporting—all thanks to Spendesk.
