Overview
Chrysalis Accommodation is a disability support and accommodation provider operating under the NDIS. With multiple care homes and a growing team of support workers, they focus on delivering high-quality care while ensuring financial compliance and operational efficiency. Managing expenses across various locations was a challenge, requiring a more simplified and transparent solution.
Challenges
Before implementing Budgetly, Chrysalis Accommodation faced significant challenges in managing expenses across their multiple care homes. The organisation provides disability support services under the NDIS, meaning strict compliance and financial tracking are essential.
Reliance on manual processes for expense management, leading to delays and inefficiencies.
Difficulty tracking spending across different homes and support workers.
Lack of real-time visibility into spending, making financial control challenging and time-consuming.
Issues with Cape Cards due to limited functionality and lack of real-time oversight, making it difficult to manage expenses efficiently across multiple locations.
The Solution
"The simplicity of the Budgetly system solved all our initial problems."
Chrysalis Accommodation implemented Budgetly to simplify their expense management. By providing staff with instant virtual and physical cards, the organisation eliminated the need for reimbursements, ensuring faster and more efficient spending control. With real-time transaction tracking, management gained full visibility over expenses, making financial oversight easier while improving compliance with NDIS funding requirements.
The Result
1. Improved financial visibility & control
The Budgetly app makes it so easy for Chrysalis Accommodation 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!
“Budgetly has been fantastic. No need to share a credit card between employees anymore and allows us to track spending which we couldn’t do beforehand!”
