Business Buying, Simplified.
One platform to buy, pay, and control company spending in real time - built for teams, scaled for enterprises.
Save time and money
For online purchases ….
Cumbersome catalog maintenance - from manual uploads to keep static catalogs updated, to costly XML punchout integrations that discourage supplier participation.
Broken PO confirmation processes that trigger endless email exchanges and manual validations - causing delays and frustration for both employees and suppliers.
Unreliable invoice matching leads to data entry errors, extra accounting work, and delayed supplier payments - eroding trust and efficiency.
… and in-store
Messy expense reports: blurry receipts in emails and texts, error-prone spreadsheets, endless statements, tedious reconciliations.
Credit cards that take weeks to arrive and are impossible to control, only to get lost or never returned when employees move on.
Lost receipts delay expense reporting, stalling customer billing and driving up carrying costs and interest.

What our customers say
Teagan Clare
Lab. Technician, Safety Officer, ExocelBio
“With BlueBean, getting virtual cards approved at check out and capturing receipts for buying lab supplies is so simple. The auto-approval keeps spending in check and manual approval is only needed for exception purchases. By using their marketplace we were able to save 10% from what we used to pay.”
Chris Skinner
VP Research & Development, Cognitus
“We use BlueBean to make employee expenditures easier to manage. When someone needs to book a flight or buy office supplies, BlueBean not only gives them access to a virtual card to make the purchase, but automatically captures the receipt and related information, saving them the time and hassle of submitting an expense report.“
