Divvy FAQs

Modern spend management is defined as setting enforceable budgets, managing company expenses in real-time, controlling spend, and seeing cash flows in one central location.

Spend management is viewed by finance leaders as the future of expense management. It’s a more proactive, strategic sourcing of company funds because it brings all spending into one place for smarter decision-making, compared to expense management which has been historically decentralized by department.

Managing business expenses requires meticulous tracking and controls. Old financial processes depend on physical expense reports to see where each employee has spent company money; this framework leaves your company with data that is days—if not months—behind. Expense management software that instantly syncs with budgets gives you real-time visibility into financial data and lets you control employee spend, so you never go over budget again.

By finding the right budgeting system, you can prevent employees from overspending. Imagine what could be possible if you could create and enforce budgets, track employee spending in real-time, and make strategic decisions based on the right data.

Divvy’s budgeting software syncs automatically with employee credit cards. Stop overspending and get real-time visibility into spend by department, team, project, or individual budget.

Each employee gets a card, with virtual cards available to make payments even easier and more secure. Pre-defined budgets in the platform allow for more intuitive and detailed spend control. Mobile reminders are also sent when a transaction occurs, so there’s no more hunting down receipts. One of the best parts—no more expense reports!

Divvy provides you with a full-featured dashboard to show you every transaction that takes place on your company cards.

No costs or contracts—it’s free! With Divvy, you’ll have unlimited access to manage budgets, control spend, track expenses, and more all in one centralized dashboard.
