80% of Corporate Purchases are Low-Dollar Value

It costs businesses upwards of $80 to issue and manage a single Purchase Order

The cost of creating and issuing a purchase order and approving and paying for supplier invoices is often higher than the value of the items purchased. Moreover, managing, storing, and retrieving the associated documents becomes a costly, time-consuming task. As a result, many businesses keep funds on hand for routine day-to-day purchases. Over time, businesses have realized the potential of theft, loss, or mismanagement of such funds. In distributed environments, the management of cash poses an even higher risk.

Using Prepaid Cards for such purchases provides a low-cost alternative with enhanced spending controls and purchasing oversight with a streamlined payment process that minimizes risk and fraud.

PurchaseAnywhere Reloadable Cards

Many businesses have distributed centers of operations with different investors connected to such operations. These businesses find it challenging, highly daunting and expensive to manage and reconcile the day-to-day business expenses associated with such distributed centers. Financial management gets even more complex because of investor relations that do not permit the commingling of funds.

Providing corporate cards for each center requires awful paperwork from investors and management and is not operationally practical, nor is it practical to ask all operations center person to incur ongoing month-to-month expenses for reimbursement.

To maintain the centers of operation, businesses generally send money (check, wire, cash) into the personal accounts of some responsible people at these centers, making businesses vulnerable to a higher degree of risk and fraud.
