THE IDEA: What is the problem being solved by your startup / business?:
Every SaaS Management tool in the market relies on customers sharing their accounting, finance, and IT data. The problem? The tool is only as accurate as the data provided. Even worse? This data may be delayed by months. Its post-facto analysis.
Cut to Quolum. As the issuer of expense card, we are the source of the data. This means that our spend analysis is both faster and more accurate. What’s better? Each card has its own rules, that you can set up.
From user limits, to organization limits to app restrictions. We believe SaaS Management is solved collaboratively by engaging every business user and decision maker before a purchase is made.
