Honeycomb Creative onboards EnKash as a Trusted Partner for streamlining department-wise payment processes

“In integrated marketing communications, agencies need to allocate budgets for different verticals, which was one of our main challenges. To overcome this, we undertook EnKash’s services. Through Olympus’ virtual cards, we were able to manage our budget allocation for various departments, streamline approvals seamlessly, and control our short-term working capital efficiently. This enabled us to gain real-time visibility of all our department-wise expenses to our finance department.”

Honeycomb’s Process Before Adopting EnKash Olympus

It was becoming difficult for Honeycomb Creative to keep track of their department-wise payments. Their business process was centralized, enabling only one individual to handle everything.

Challenges faced by Honeycomb:

• Budget management: Allocating separate budgets while dealing across separate verticals. In each department, multiple cards were used for expenses 
• Delayed approval: The turnaround time for approvals from different department heads took longer than expected, keeping vendor payment and other work on hold
