“Vectura gave us instant visibility into spending across departments. We caught three budget overruns in the first week — and now every decision is backed by real-time data.”

CLARA NGUYEN

The Company

Odeao Labs gains control and clarity with Vectura

Odeao Labs is a fast-growing SaaS company specializing in AI-powered data solutions for enterprise teams. With over 200 employees across product, engineering, and business operations, the company is scaling quickly to meet rising demand. But with growth came complexity: multiple departments were handling their own budgets, vendor contracts were piling up, and finance had little visibility into how money was being spent day to day.

The finance team, led by Clara Nguyen, was responsible for ensuring that spend aligned with company priorities. Yet, as budgets expanded and teams made more independent decisions, tracking real-time expenses became nearly impossible.

The Motivation

A search for better financial oversight

As Odeao Labs scaled, its financial processes started to show cracks. Budgets were tracked in static spreadsheets, approvals were scattered across email threads, and reporting lagged weeks behind real spending. Department heads often had to make decisions with incomplete information, and finance lacked the tools to provide leadership with accurate, timely insights.

The leadership team realized that without change, the company risked overspending and losing strategic agility. They needed a solution that could deliver real-time visibility and streamline financial workflows without adding complexity for employees.

The finance team was spending hours reconciling expenses manually, only to find discrepancies after the fact. Department leaders were frustrated by the lack of transparency, while employees faced delays in approvals and reimbursements. In a company where speed and precision mattered, outdated tools had become a serious bottleneck.

“As a department lead, I often didn’t know we’d gone over budget until weeks later. By then, it was too late to fix. We were managing blind.”

The solution

Real-time clarity with Vectura

Odeao Labs chose Vectura to modernize its financial operations. With automated expense tracking, streamlined approvals, and a centralized reporting dashboard, the finance team gained the visibility they needed to support fast growth. Department leaders could see their budgets in real time, and approvals that once took days now happened instantly.

Vectura also integrated seamlessly with Odeao Labs’ existing systems, minimizing disruption while giving employees a smoother way to submit expenses and requests.

The results

A measurable impact across the company

With Vectura in place, Odeao Labs turned financial management from a source of frustration into a competitive advantage. Among the outcomes:

  • 3 budget overruns prevented in the first week of adoption

  • Approval times cut by 70%, reducing delays across departments

  • Real-time dashboards that replaced monthly manual reports

  • Greater confidence in financial decision-making at all levels

The finance team no longer spends its time chasing receipts and reconciling errors — instead, they focus on strategic planning and supporting growth initiatives.
