Customer voice

"Scaling brings its own challenges, especially with managing the expenses. Each branch has its own petty cash. It was time consuming and it made compliance and visibility difficult across the board. But Alaan changed that for us. We issue corporate cards with limits tailored to each role. Every transaction is visible in real time." - Ashwin Joshi, Finance Manager, FiLLi
