Solution
Simmentaler needed an easy-to-use expense tool that integrated credit cards and could scale with the business. They chose Edi - Expense Intelligence. Edi offers a user-friendly web and mobile app, that automates bookings and guides users clearly through the process of entering receipts. In partnership with Cornèrcard as a credit card provider, an ideal solution was created.
All Cornèrcard transactions are automatically imported into Edi on a daily basis. Employees enter their receipts directly via smartphone - Edi automatically reads the amounts, VAT and account assignment. The system then intelligently compares the receipts with the card transactions and marks open items. Supervisors can see at any time which expenses have been incurred and how much budget is still available.

Initial situation
Since 2015, the Simmentaler Braumanufaktur has been brewing beers that reflect the character of the Simmental valley with a lot of passion and regional ingredients. While new creations were being developed in the brewhouse, the workload in the office grew. Receipts piled up, from credit card statements to handwritten slips of paper.
As the company grew, so did the administrative tasks, particularly with expenses, receipt entry and card control. The employees collected receipts on paper. The accounting department checked everything manually and lost a lot of time with queries. This resulted in a lack of overview, increased workload and growing dissatisfaction within the Team. It was clear to Simmentaler that a digital solution was needed to simplify processes and increase speed.
Project
The project team set up the instance in the shortest possible time and made it available to the brewery. Direct contact persons provided all the necessary information. This accelerated the entire process.
A few weeks after the go-live, the processes improved noticeably. Cornèrcard completely replaced the manual reconciliation of credit card payments. The Team adjusts card limits immediately if necessary. Authorised expenses flow directly into the accounting system via the bexio interface, without any additional effort.
