The Challenge

As client volume and ad spend grew, their operations team was drowning in manual financial work.

Key blockers:
  • Reconciling ad spend across Meta, Google, TikTok for dozens of clients
  • Cash tied up in client campaigns waiting for reimbursement
  • Slow invoicing and delayed payments
  • Hours wasted copying data between tools
  • Missing out on cashback due to financial risk concerns

They wanted a way to scale spend and cashback without increasing admin burden.

The Solution: Opal

Outsmart Labs implemented Opal to automate ad spend management, invoicing, and payments.

What they rolled out:
  • Client-specific virtual cards for clean expense tracking
  • Client-funded ad spend to eliminate fronting costs
  • Automated invoicing tied to actual spend
  • Real-time spend visibility for clients and finance
  • Automatic card updates on Meta, Google, Apple, Amazon, and more
