Overview
Killara Hospitality Services is a catering company based in Ulladulla, NSW. They specialise in providing catering services for parties and celebrations. With years of experience in the industry, they are committed to delivering high-quality food and event preparation.
Staff at Killara Hospitality Services were undergoing manual reimbursements as individual bank cards with separate bank accounts were deployed prior to Budgetly, which came with several challenges:
Challenges
-
Manual reimbursement process: Collecting receipts for staff expenses were completely manual and time-consuming, which meant a lot of manual labour for staff in-house.
-
Time consuming receipt collection: Missing and lost receipts were a common occurrence, and therefore more time-consuming to reconcile, as the process was lengthy and manual.
-
Lack of real-time visibility: With separate individual cards and bank accounts, there was an lack of transparency across accounts which hindered efficient tracking and decision-making processes.
