Covers all things required to have our employee make a purchase with the credit card and have the transaction coded to the required expense account in Xero with the receipt uploaded. Works fluidly!
Chad Cole, Accountant Vapoureyes
Volopay charged based on the volume of transactions which didn’t appeal to us as the cost-to-benefit wasn’t there. Budgetly has done everything we need it to do! It's been very easy to use and we've had fantastic support, especially when we were getting things set up.
Gareth, Finance Manager Living Edge
Managing expenses with Budgetly has been a breeze, reducing time taken to process expenses with the integration with Xero and saving the hassle of following up employees for receipts.
Sarah McLean, Bookkeeper Boutellier Montres
We’ve definitely saved a lot of money. 50 hours saved across the month in bookkeeping fees is massive. So much easier to sync straight into Xero, the time saved is amazing. We’ve had a lot of help whenever we’ve needed it, it’s been great.
Tim Huett, CFO Earth Markets
The problem with cash is you can lose it, it has to be reconciled/verified etc.. Simply tapping a Budgetly card takes all of that away.

Frequently asked questions
What is expense management software for retail businesses?
Expense management software for retail businesses automates the tracking, approval and reconciliation of operational costs—covering store-purchases, card or virtual card spend, invoices, reimbursements, and budgets across multiple locations and departments. Budgetly’s solution is built for retail operations, helping multi-store or omni-channel businesses gain real-time visibility and tighter control over their spend.
Why should retail businesses use specialised expense management software instead of generic tools or spreadsheets?
Retail operations often span multiple stores, departments, online and offline channels, each with separate budgets and spend flows. Generic tools or spreadsheets struggle with scale, multi-location budgets, mobile receipt capture and real-time visibility. With Budgetly’s retail-focused platform, you get
- Real-time expense tracking across all stores and departments.
- Budget allocation by store/department and category.
- Automated workflows and integrations, such as with invoice management software and corporate cards.
What is the best expense management software for Australian retail businesses?
For Australian retail businesses, the best solution should support AUD transactions, integrate with Australian accounting systems, handle multi-location and multi-department budgeting, and provide real-time spend visibility. Budgetly meets these criteria:
It offers retail-specific features, seamless integration with accounting platforms (e.g., via Xero Integration), and tools like virtual cards and receipt capture for store teams — helping you manage income and outgoings more efficiently.

Budgetly centralises all spend data—from cards, invoices, reimbursements and budgets—into one unified dashboard. With this real-time visibility you can:
- Monitor overspending or budget variances by store or department.
