Yokoy Expense

Problem: Tedious spreadsheet work makes spend management inefficient

Before using Yokoy, employees used Excel spreadsheets to manage their expenses. This manual process caused frustration among employees and led to downstream processes that needed a lot of manual intervention.

 

Being a successful financial services company, Bitpanda quickly realized that their current market environment required them to manage their spend more efficiently.

 

So, Bitpanda decided to adopt a solution that would streamline its spend management, improve efficiency, and integrate with its complex software environment.

Solution: Yokoy's easy-to-use spend management suite speeds up financial operations

Bitpanda chose to automate its spend management by partnering with Yokoy. Bitpanda considered several other spend management solutions, but quickly concluded that Yokoy was the best choice.

 

Yokoy’s user-friendly features and simple integration into Bitpanda’s existing software environment were major factors in the decision.

 

The implementation of Yokoy improved the finance processes immediately, and with Yokoy’s all-in-one spend management platform in hand, Bitpanda could take full advantage of integrated corporate cards as well.
