By GlobalDataOpen Deck Transport director of business development Travis Ostergards said: "With Bento, we have eliminated the need for contractors to submit expense reports, since it’s all automated.
"On top of that, we can set controls on the type of items purchased and the amounts spent. We think Bento can be one piece of a larger strategy for retaining our drivers by making the expense process much simpler than our competitors’."
Bento’s CEO and co-founder Farhan Ahmad said: "We set out to create a commercial card that would eliminate the administrative and financial headaches small business owners face when trying to manage their spending, without putting their credit on the line."
