Bennett and Bennett is a Queensland-owned and operated business with over 50 years in the development industry. The company employs over 150 staff to run its day-to-day operations.
Staff used company credit cards to pay for items and services and filled these transaction details into a monthly spreadsheet along with the receipts. However, this method was tedious because of:
After booking a demo with the Budgetly team, Bennett and Bennett signed up for 23 preloaded cards. Budgetly’s virtual cards were set up instantly, and physical cards were shipped out within three business days - eliminating paperwork and wait times for bank credit cards.
Additionally, this easy way of applying for unlimited cards stopped the inefficient card-sharing system.
Transacting with Budgetly’s prepaid corporate cards is easy and takes little effort. All card transactions are automatically registered into the app, and staff only need to capture their receipts and upload them after each transaction.
Example of the Budgetly app
Budgetly automatically reconciles all transactions into the app and records all transaction details. Additionally, staff can add notes, tags, and categories for each transaction. This means the Accounts team no longer waste time chasing staff for receipts and verifying transaction details.
Using a dashboard, the Accounts team and managers can view all transactions in real time. They can also free or cancel cards with the click of a button on the app.

With Budgetly, Bennett and Bennett can enjoy the following functionalities to build an efficient expense management process:
“Budgetly has definitely solved our problems. The system is so flexible! Now our staff don’t have to worry about manually filling in spreadsheets, and we’ve saved a lot of time on admin work. Overall, I’d say we’ve saved at least a day a month across our teams.”
Darren Chalmers, Partner / Business Operations Manager
2. Flexible Interface - Budgetly’s easy budget-setting and card management functions have given the company an easier way to control staff spending.
“After we went through the initial demo with the (Budgetly) team, we realised how flexible and easy the interface was - so we signed up. Without Budgetly, we’d have a less efficient and restricted miscellaneous expense management process. ”
Darren Chalmers, Partner / Business Operations Manager
3. Proactive Support - Budgetly’s easy onboarding process made it easy for company staff to adapt to the new system.
“The support has been great and very proactive. We haven’t had to call the Budgetly team for many issues, but everyone that we’ve dealt with has been very helpful. So I’d say Budgetly has very highly rated support.”
Darren Chalmers, Partner / Business Operations Manager
