Clutch Coffee Bar Fueled Growth With The Ottimate Payment Automation

Ottimate Clients Clutch Coffee Bar Operators pose in shop

“A huge priority for us is automation so that we can grow as lean as we can… When we set up a new store, we’ll issue a group of new Ottimate vCards and give them to the new vendors. Each vendor charges a card that is already classified, and it gets exported to our ERP journaled to that expense category. We don’t have to think about it… All of our virtual cards are pre-assigned to a GL account, so that when transactions come through on them, they’re immediately classified to a particular expense account and exported to NetSuite.”
