Payhawk x Aikido Security, 25 hours saved by ditching manual exports

25 hours of manual work saved per month

Manual export chaos to automated, real-time books

Why it works

The case study earns its Efficiency tag with a concrete hours-saved figure tied directly to a specific mechanism: bidirectional Exact Online sync plus AI-powered OCR eliminating manual exports. The competitive switch from Spendesk is explicit and names the predecessor. The secondary New Capability angle is present but understated; bringing accounting fully in-house was genuinely a net-new function for the team, not just doing the old thing faster.

Steal this

Anchor the before-state in a single vivid operational detail ('external bookkeeper exported all receipts from Spendesk and imported into Exact Online') before stating any metric. It makes the 25-hour saving feel earned rather than asserted.
