Easy solution for managing staff spending
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use these cards for smaller, recurring purchases that certain employees need to make on a regular basis. Because the purchases need to happen on a regular schedule, it is much easier for these staff to have their own card, however they are not staff who we felt would need full access to a regular company card. Managing reimbursements were really starting to become time-consuming for these purchases, so Bento was great as a solution for our organization.
Pros
- Easily setting up new cardholders
- Tracking receipts in the app
- Setting limits & card controls
- Setting up auto-refill from our bank account
Cons
- Sometimes takes a couple weeks to get a new card in the mail once ordered
Likelihood to Recommend
Our organization runs a lot of short-term or one-off programs where the program staff need to buy supplies -- Bento is perfect for these scenarios. The staff who make the purchases are not staff who would typically have a company card, so we wanted a solution other than giving them a credit card. Bento was perfect because it makes the purchasing & bookkeeping processes for these programs easy and efficient for both the staff and the finance team.
