“I believe in keeping things fair, so I run occasional analyses to ensure we’re getting the best value. So far, I haven’t found another platform or support team that can compete.”

Product Line Manager

The problem

Before Engine, Tally Energy had no system in place to compare hotel rates in real time. Employees booked hotels individually, often resulting in inflated costs that weren’t flagged until after the stay. Expense reports were a major pain point—employees had to submit receipts, and finance teams had to manually reallocate expenses.

Austin T., Tally’s Product Line Manager, knew the company needed a smarter, more efficient way to manage hotel bookings and expenses.

The solution

By implementing Engine, Tally Energy gained a centralized travel management system, automated direct billing, and seamless AP integration.

This eliminated unnecessary expenses, simplified financial tracking, and improved employee booking experiences.

From day one, Engine delivered improvements in cost control and operational efficiency for Tally Energy. Three years later, the value remains unmatched. As Austin explains, “I believe in keeping things fair, so I run occasional analyses to ensure we’re getting the best value. So far, I haven’t found another platform or support team that can compete.”

“Previously, we only became aware of excessive charges after the fact. With Engine, we have proactive control over rates and spending.”
