Amira, the founder of a thriving agro-processing company, was in a nightmare. Despite having an accountant to manage the finances, the traditional methods of paper requests, manual data entry, and Excel spreadsheets were not cutting it.

The more her business grew, the more daunting it became to keep track of every Naira spent.

Every month, Amira found herself in a mountain of paperwork with her accountant, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. The data entry was tedious and error-prone, and the process was not only time-consuming but also prevented her from focusing on the growth of her business.

She was drowning in receipts and invoices, and the more she tried to organize them, the more chaotic it became.

Amira was at her wits' end with the time-consuming and error-prone expense management methods her company was using. That's when a colleague recommended Flex's spend management platform as a solution.

Amira decided to give it a try and was amazed at the efficiency it brought to her company's financial management. The platform's automated expense tracking, customizable workflows, and mobile accessibility have been a game-changer for her business, and she now recommends Flex to fellow agric processing companies struggling with managing their expenses.

What's more, Flex's platform offered mobile, web, and card-based expense tracking, providing Amira with 100% visibility and control over her company's spending, no matter where she was in the world.

The customizable workflows for approvals, budgets, and expense policies also allowed Amira to tailor the platform to her business needs, making it a flexible solution that could adapt to the company's growth.

And with Flex's self-onboarding feature, Amira and her team were able to get started with the platform in just 10 minutes.

Thanks to Flex’s spend management platform, Amira and her team were able to save time and money for her business, while also having the peace of mind of knowing that their financial data was secure. They were able to focus on the growth of the business, rather than getting bogged down in the details of financial management.

Before Flex, Amira's company was stuck in spreadsheet hell. The process was chaotic and caused unnecessary stress, causing her and her team to waste time on tasks that could have been automated. With Flex, however, the process was streamlined, efficient, and hassle-free. At at the end of the month, Amira’s accountant can easily export the categorised company’s spending records to any accounting software of her choice and even spreadsheets (only this time the spending data is already categorized so it's no longer a mess)
