Founded by Andrew Alex in 2022, Spendbase has emerged as one of the best-rated solutions for companies looking to gain control over their corporate spending. From SaaS subscriptions to cloud and corporate card management, Spendbase automates the entire process, offering real-time tracking and expense optimization. Spendbase simplifies management while reducing the risks associated with manual errors and unsanctioned purchases. 

‍

On average, mid-sized companies use more than 200 SaaS products, spending up to $5M annually. But without proper tracking, many end up overspending - whether by paying for unused services, purchasing redundant software, or forgetting to update user access. Similarly, a typical company of 500 employees wastes €630K each year on manual tasks like submitting, approving, and reimbursing expenses. Without an efficient system, managing corporate spending becomes a costly and time-consuming process.

‍

Today, the Spendbase platform helps businesses save between $500K and $1M annually, avoiding overspending and inefficiencies that can result in financial losses. 

‍

“We are thrilled to partner with Levenue to offer our customers more than just visibility into their spending,” said Andrew Alex, CEO of Spendbase. “Now, they’ll have access to financing solutions that help them grow sustainably while avoiding the pitfalls of traditional loans or equity dilution. By providing additional financial tools, Spendbase enables companies to scale with confidence and maintain financial stability.”

‍

Ben Rieder, Co-founder and CEO of Levenue, says: “Together, Spendbase and Levenue offer a comprehensive solution that not only helps businesses control their corporate expenses but also provides them with the capital they need to fuel their growth. By automating spending processes and introducing funding, mid-sized companies can now maintain financial health while scaling effectively.”
