Here are our top features our customers love
Virtual and Physical Cards
Bento's multiple card options give you a higher degree of flexibility when it comes to making decisions regarding which card can be used for which purpose. Bento cards offer the functionality of a regular corporate card, but with more power and sustainable spending solutions. We provide you complete control and flexibility to create and use these cards in a manner that suits your business needs to the tee.
Industry-leading card
controls
If you’re using and distributing corporate cards to your employees, you’re going to want to control where and how the cards are used. Here is where our card controls come into play. Card controls allow you to modify spend parameters as and when needed thereby helping you control your budget and protect your company’s bottom line. Bento’s card controls operate in the background while you focus on your business.
360-degree View of Your
Business Spending
Our intuitive dashboard provides a birds-eye view of your account so you can get a glimpse of the health of your account in just a glance. This allows you better visualize spend trends and provides insights into the metrics that drive your business spend. This helps you identify areas where you can gain efficiencies, tighten spending controls for cost savings, and ultimately strengthen your business's bottom line.
Real-time, Automated Reporting
Filling out expense reports and collecting receipts is a tedious process for both, expense managers and employees. This leads to a never-ending cycle of follow-ups and manual data entry. Having a swift and straightforward expense management software that automates the process for you helps clear up time for more critical tasks and also reduces the degree of manual error. Traditional means of expense management involves manual data entry and manual data verification for expenses. This not only eats into productive hours. Our automated reporting feature helps in combating that, thereby eliminating the possibility of submission of duplicate bills, exaggerated claims, errors in manual data entry, and more.
One Click B2B Payments
A scalable spend management platform will have multiple payment options available because no business wants to be restricted. While we have multiple payment options at Bento, one option that particularly stands out and one that our customers love is - Bento Pay™. Bento Pay™ combines the simplicity of invoice payments with enterprise-grade security and powerful controls for B2B payments.
AI-Powered Receipt Capture
Bento has an AutoMatch feature wherein a user can simply take a picture of a receipt and we will auto-magically match it to the correct transaction. Users can also submit receipts via email. You can also set email monthly receipt reminders for users to upload their receipts. With an electronic system in place, all your expenses are scanned into a single digital receipt repository where they can be easily managed. It's simply one less thing for you or your employees to worry about at reconciliation or tax time.
