How Volopay helped Black Pine Executive Consulting

Black Pine is a management consulting company established in 2009, with expertise in Banking, payments, IT and outsourcing industries, offering Strategic Consulting, Business and Product Development, Lean Process Optimisation, Project Management and Coaching Services.

With offices in Belgrade and Moscow, they primarily focus on markets of Central Eastern Europe and Russia. They help clients improve results by advising them on strategic and operational management decisions in line with market benchmarks and industry best practices.

True to their promise of getting to the core of the issue, Black Pine Executive Consulting, a boutique consulting firm in Singapore, went down to the root of the issue when it comes to accounting their travel expenses.

They found out that overspending or under-spending of employees in travel expenses was brought about by lack of a budgeting system.

Black Pine used to issue advance payments for business trips to their employees. No specific process was laid in relation to these expenses.

Radek Jezbera, Partner at Black Pine, was looking for payment cards to be distributed to their employees. Many payment cards are available in the market but only a few are affordable for small businesses like Black Pine.

Good thing Volopay was able to offer Black Pine both physical and virtual cards.

Employees are now given their own physical or virtual cards for their expenses. Each of these cards are attached to a pre-existing budget set by management, so the employee could not spend more than the set budget.

Moreover, everything is real-time and transparent both for the employee and the management. Employees now have more independence in spending without breaking the pockets of the company.

As for the accounting process, all expenses are seamlessly synced to Black Pine's accounting software. This added an extra layer of ease and comfort in their expense management procedures.

Through Volopay's physical and virtual cards, and seamless integration with their accounting software, Black Pine was able to significantly streamline their expense management process.
