Case Study: AMDT standardized payments across four legal entities and cut international payment time 30% with Spendesk
Key results
The challenge
AMDT operated four legal entities across Germany, the US and other regions, each running different systems with no clear compliance framework for approving certain payments. To protect against delays, the team paid many global suppliers earlier than necessary using early-payment safety buffers. A single transaction required three people to manage.
The solution
AMDT adopted Spendesk across its entities and integrated it with NetSuite to standardize how information is recorded and how payments are made. Payments can now be initiated immediately, letting the group operate as one company rather than separate entities and consolidating each transaction to a single owner.
“We went from having three people managing a single transaction to one person handling the entire process.”

The results, in context
International payments became 30% faster as suppliers are now paid on their due date instead of via early-payment buffers, and supplier issues fell 30% by eliminating late payments and reconciliation problems. The process reached 100% adoption, and a single transaction now moves from three people to one. Figures are quoted from Spendesk's published customer story and dated on access (2026-07-23).
