The challenge
A burning need for automation
Since it was founded in 2011, InGamba Tours has grown in leaps in bounds. Its steady expansion can be attributed to the company’s unique service offering — elite-level biking experiences in picturesque locations throughout the globe — for an underserved market.
Recently, the company’s focus has been on acquiring companies throughout Europe. This has ramped up the need for a reliable yet efficient financial consolidation process. According to Bruno Partidário, connecting sales and costs to each cost center — trips, in this case — has emerged as yet another challenge to contend with. Because of this, the company has noticed inefficiencies and time being wasted on repetitive, manual tasks.
InGamba Tours was ready for software that could efficiently handle all these processes and more. They needed something that could both automate the process of integrating new companies and eliminate the need for laborious manual tasks.
