Timely vendor payments and improved cash flow management from American Express helped PlanITROI keep up with their fast-paced business.
Real American Express® Card Member aware that this testimonial may be featured in marketing materials.
The challenge
PlanITROI is a mission-driven business whose goal is to close the digital divide. By refurbishing clients’ retired tech and selling it through retail partners, they add value to devices and help get affordable technology into the hands of people who need it. The company’s long-standing relationship with American Express began when they were founded more than 20 years ago, As PlanITROI grew, they needed increased spending power, valuable Card program benefits and consistent support to drive their business forward.
"American Express has done wonders for us, and their partnership has been phenomenal."
Paul Baum,
Founder and Chief Executive Officer,
PlanITROI
The solution
In 2017, PlanITROI became an American Express® Corporate Program Member. Early on, they saw the benefits of the proactive service and dedicated support provided by their Account Manager. American Express worked closely with PlanITROI to customize their program using a mix of Corporate Platinum and Corporate Green Cards to optimize their employee benefits.
PlanITROI uses the American Express @ Work®1 platform to help manage cash flow and seamlessly track expenses. The Corporate Program also helps PlanITROI with increased insights, greater control over their spending, and digital solutions. Their vendors love receiving timely payments, and PlanITROI earns Membership Rewards® points2 on all eligible purchases, making it a win-win situation.
When PlanITROI wanted to get more of their vendors to accept American Express, their Account Manager helped onboard those who didn't already accept the Card. And as PlanITROI's American Express spending has grown, the advanced fraud protection has been especially valued, with safety alerts that have helped them safeguard their account.
The impact
The American Express® Corporate Program has provided PlanITROI consistent support and has helped improve their cash flow management. For example, with one partner alone, they've grown their American Express spending to more than $50 million per year. The benefits and backing from American Express have been an important component supporting PlanITROI's business goals, giving them the freedom to work toward their mission.
