Boutellier Montres gains “better control” over staff expenses with Budgetly

“Budgetly has now meant that we can provide access to funds without needing to reimburse or alternatively provide direct access to the business bank account.”

Sarah McLean, Senior Bookkeeper

Overview

Boutellier Montres is recognised as an Official Rolex Retailers, operating with over three generations of Swiss watchmaking knowledge since 1934, selling and maintaining Rolex watches in the heart of Melbourne, Australia.

Staff at Boutellier Montres were making purchases and undergoing manual reimbursements prior to Budgetly, which came with several challenges:

Challenges

  • Manual reimbursement process: Collecting receipts for staff expenses were completely manual and time-consuming, deeming to be inefficient and frustrating.

  • Lack of budgeting control: The manual process of receipt collection in turn meant a lack of full transparency on what was spent in real-time, often leading to further unnecessary admin work to reconcile. 

  • Time consuming reconciliation: As a result of the above, this lead to an increase in manual administrative tasks, diverting staff’s time and energy away from other important company activities.

Results

1. No more chasing receipts!

The Budgetly app makes it so easy for Boutellier Montres staff to upload receipts, and even sends them a notification. The receipt and transaction information is instantly available for the finance team to review, which makes an audit so much easier!

With Budgetly’s preloaded cards, Boutellier Montres staff can transact, capture their receipts using a smartphone, and upload them to the app. In addition, Budgetly’s expense management software automatically records transaction details such as vendor names and transaction amounts. 
           

Support staff can also add notes to each transaction and assign them under categories and tags set by finance teams. This allows the team to easily filter and view relevant transactions based on tours or expense categories.

         

Finance teams can allocate budgets for each card and set spending limits to avoid overspending. Additionally, these budgets can be automated to reset or roll over every fortnight.
