About AMDT

AMDT is a PE-backed international company operating across four entities, including Germany and the US. As a global organisation serving customers worldwide, they require sophisticated financial operations to manage complex, multi-entity payment processes.

The challenges

When Alexander joined AMDT, the company's international expansion had created fragmented payment processes across multiple entities. Different systems, unclear approval flows, and manual handovers were causing significant operational inefficiencies for domestic and international payments.

Alexander's team was drowning in manual work – chasing payments across four different banking systems while suppliers sent frustrated emails about late payments.

The core problems:

• Fragmented handovers with three different people managing stages of one payment process

• Multiple disconnected systems across legal entities

• Low degree of automation and cost granularity

• Manual reconciliation between banking and ERP systems

• Inconsistent processes across international entities

The solution

AMDT implemented Spendesk to centralise all payment operations across their four international entities with full NetSuite integration.

The comprehensive solution covers:

• Consistent company cards across all entities

• Expense claims with automated workflows

• Invoice processing with approval controls

• International payments with automatic reconciliation and real-time tracking

• Multi-entity standardisation with global processes

How AMDT eliminated payment delays across four countries

The breakthrough came with Spendesk's integrated approach to payments. Instead of managing payables in one system, local payments in another and international payments in a third, everything now flows through a single platform with automatic matching, including international payments.

Now the same person who receives an invoice can pay it instantly. No more passing invoices between three different people. No more waiting for weekly payment runs. Alexander's team simply records the invoice and clicks pay, whether it's going to Germany, the US, or anywhere else in the world.

The result: faster payments, happier suppliers, and a finance team that actually has time for strategic work.

The results

AMDT has achieved significant operational improvements since implementing Spendesk:

• Process efficiency: Eliminated three-person handovers – one person now manages end-to-end payment processes

• Payment accuracy: 30% improvement in paying international suppliers directly on due dates

• Supplier relationships: 30% reduction in friction from late payments

• Automation: Automatic bank reconciliation eliminates manual matching

• Global standardisation: Consistent processes across all four entities worldwide

• Enhanced visibility: Real-time tracking and audit-ready compliance

  We now can drive scale across the organisation. We can standardise descriptions, how we record things, and how we pay it. We operate as one company, not separate entities.
