How Think Digital uses Pleo to enforce a healthy spending culture.

The Challenge

Before Pleo only the four partners at Think Digital had a card. This created a few issues when it came to company spending:

• Borrowing company cards: Employees that are out visiting customers and travelling around Scandinavia had to rely on their private funds for company expenses. When they were in the office, they borrowed the cards from one of the partners.
• Messy procedures: Think Digital experienced issues trying to figure out all the purchases. There was also a lot of signing and approving processes in place.
• No spending overview: There was no real-time insight into company spending.

The Solution

As Morten puts it, Pleo helped Think Digital “put their money where their mouth is” by not just talking about employee trust, but actually empowering them with Pleo cards so they purchase what is needed for the team or their clients, without the unnecessary approval processes.

The Result

There are 3 main benefits that Pleo provides to Think Digital:

• Empowerement with real-time control: While every employee at Think Digital is given a Pleo card to buy the things they need for work, real-time limits are in place, so the partners can feel safe at any time.
• Time saved on bookkeeping: The amount of work with expense reports for their bookkeeper has declined heavily. The fact that all employees can spend more time on their primary job is something that they value a lot.
• Real-time spending overview: Seeing spending as it happens in real-time is something new for Think Digital, which gives them a clear overview over all transactions and provide them with context about every purchase made with Pleo.
