American Express helped Venture Solar improve control, oversight and tracking of expenses.
Real American Express Card Member aware that this testimonial may be featured in marketing materials.
The challenge
With the growth of the solar industry, Venture Solar’s business in the Northeast blossomed, expanding into ten states with five warehouses along the Eastern Seaboard. Accompanying their growth, the number of installation projects and the associated expenses increased dramatically — and tracking them became increasingly complicated.
“[The Amex Corporate program] helps me keep track of employee spending in ways that work best for me.”
Erica Swenson, Chief Financial Officer, Venture Solar
The solution
With the American Express® Corporate Program, Venture Solar uses program management tools that enable them to easily see how and where their dollars are going, giving them increased spending control, more hours for other tasks, and greater peace of mind. Using the American Express @ Work®1 interface on their Corporate Program portal, Venture Solar can set spending limits for employees and contractors, generate custom spending reports on demand and uncover insights into spending trends and patterns. Enrollment required.
Venture Solar especially values their Corporate Program’s attentive customer service. Their dedicated Account Manager helped Venture Solar customize their Corporate Program to help meet their specific needs. And whenever they have a question, their calls and chats are handled knowledgeably and efficiently with a level of dedication that makes them feel solidly supported.
The impact
On any given day, Venture Solar has scores of simultaneous projects in motion, with hundreds of individual expenses made through their American Express® Corporate Program. It adds up to more than $40 million per year, spent with the confidence of knowing American Express is there to support them all along the way.

Customers may cancel the service or activate/deactivate additional payment methods by contacting their American Express® Specialist. The customer will be charged the full monthly platform access fee (and any applicable transaction fees and taxes) for the month in which the service is cancelled (or all additional payment methods are deactivated), with continued access to the service for the thirty days following the cancellation date.
