Entree Media is a broadcast media, production & events company located in Singapore. The company has a team of 8 employees and hires freelancers to help run events.
Due to the nature of events and production, they have to travel to off-site locations, sometimes with equipment, including very early and late in the day, with the expenses being covered by the company.
During events, employees often need to have food delivered to them as it can be challenging to exit the venue or time consuming to eat out.
“Managing this was a nightmare. Not only did I have to verify and approve employee claims, I also had to frequently sync with my finance team to ensure all costs are recorded accordingly” says Roger Ng, Director of Entree Media.
Saving time, improving transparency, and empowering staff with Grab For Business
Things improved after Entree Media discovered Grab For Business. They now use policies to control employee spend, limit access to services based on roles, and issue single-use codes for their freelancers.
As a result, Roger saves a lot of time which he can now put towards growing the business. “I previously spent at least 2 working days in a month managing reimbursement claims”, explains Roger.
Employees also benefit from not having to pay for rides and meals upfront. With the Grab For Business Portal, all transactions that comply with the set policies are charged directly to the company’s corporate credit card.
The finance team is also able to view all transactions in real-time through the portal, giving the company transparency and keeping employees and freelancers accountable for their business expenses with Grab.

With the Grab For Business Portal, Roger and his team is able to:
- Simplify the expensing process
- Set policies and issue single-use codes to control costs
- Improve visibility into company spend
