Case Study: Westbourne saves $100k and cuts expense admin by a week with Weel

How Westbourne saved $100k, and reduced time spent on expenses admin by one week each month

Westbourne, a specialist residential builder, was struggling to control spending as the business grew past 100 staff and multiple projects. Their finance team was stuck with manual expense processes, shared cards, delayed reimbursements, missing receipts, and time-consuming AP follow-up, making it hard to manage project costs efficiently. They turned to Weel for spend management, including virtual cards and reimbursements.

With Weel, Westbourne rolled out virtual cards, reimbursement workflows, budget controls, approvals, and prompted coding to employees across the business. The finance team gained better visibility and tighter control over spend, while employees could purchase directly or claim costs more easily. Westbourne said Weel saved at least one week per month in admin time and helped avoid hiring backfill, delivering about $100,000 in annual salary savings.
