While some spending can easily be assigned to one individual, in many cases groups, teams, or departments need to make shared purchases, even across different locations and currencies. For example, equipment, software subscriptions, marketing spend, or construction projects. These shared purchases can be difficult to manage, categorise, and reconcile without an individual name to attach to them.
However, Soldo’s unique features ensure that managing complex spending set-ups where multiple employees need to make a variety of payments is quick and easy.
Many businesses still use manual processes to manage shared business spending. But asking employees to pay out of pocket, using credit cards, or dipping into petty cash all create a number of problems.
When employees are asked to use their own money and sort reimbursements with expense forms, individuals get bogged down with unnecessary admin. Assigning payments to an individual’s card often leads to essential services and campaigns being interrupted if employees change jobs or cards expire. And when teams share credit card details to keep day-to-day work moving, it becomes difficult to see who has spent what, where. While using petty cash boxes makes it impossible to get a complete view of spending.
Add different kinds of spending, multiple offices, employees working off-site, and a variety of budgets into the mix and shared expenses become even more complex.
Shared spending presents a unique challenge: individuals working together in shifting configurations and making purchases that need to be categorised. Individuals from various teams or offices may make shared purchases in one group one week, and different groups the next. They might make shared purchases as part of a department, a project, and different teams, all at the same time. And often, they need money instantly when they’re working at home or on a different site. This means, businesses need flexible spending systems that reflect the way modern companies actually function.
Managing spending that can’t be assigned to one individual requires flexibility.
