No two businesses are the same, and neither are their onboarding needs. At Pleo, we work with over 40,000 companies across Europe, from fast-growing startups to large enterprises, each with unique ways of managing spending. That’s why our onboarding process isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether a company needs a quick, self-serve setup or hands-on support, we tailor the experience to ensure a smooth transition.

For Go Nordic Cruiseline, time was of the essence. With launch day on the horizon and no time for clunky setups or delays, they needed a spend solution that could keep pace, not weigh them down. That’s where Pleo’s Premium Implementation came aboard. It's a first-class ticket to a seamless onboarding experience: no queues, no turbulence, just a smooth transition into smarter spending.

No time to waste: Why Go Nordic Cruiseline chose Premium Implementation

With a tight timeline before launch, Go Nordic Cruiseline needed a spend solution that wouldn’t slow them down. Their VP of Finance, IT & Administration, Peter Holleufer, knew that the right system could make a difference.

Rather than struggling with a clunky setup, Pleo’s Premium Implementation team took the wheel, guiding them step by step to ensure a smooth transition. From hands-on support to expert advice, the process was designed to maximise efficiency, making sure Pleo was up and running for the team before the first cruise even set sail.

“The onboarding process was very efficient and good and the support was always available for any queries.” – Peter Holleufer said, VP, Head of Finance, IT & Administration.

No more bottlenecks: Streamlining approvals with Pleo

Before Pleo, Go Nordic Cruiseline was handling expenses through D365; it was functional, but far from intuitive. With Pleo, the team was able to ditch the manual work and embrace a fully automated, real-time tracking system.

The benefits were immediate. Here’s what they saw from the get-go:

  • No more chasing receipts: Expenses are logged in real-time, eliminating the end-of-month scramble.
  • Streamlined approvals: Finance teams can approve or query expenses in just a few clicks.
  • More control, less hassle: Pleo makes it easy to oversee spending without drowning in paperwork.

“The biggest advantages of using Pleo include the automation of expense reporting, real-time expense tracking, and a more streamlined approval process,” Peter explained. 

Smooth sailing ahead: The Pleo effect

With Pleo now fully integrated, Go Nordic Cruiseline is spending less time on admin and more time focused on growth. The finance team has full visibility, employees find it easy to use, and the entire process is as smooth as a calm Nordic fjord.

“At Go Nordic Cruiseline, we are very satisfied with Pleo. It has made it easier to manage expenses and has improved our financial control.” – Peter Holleufer

Would they recommend Pleo? 

In short, yes. 

For businesses looking to streamline spending without the headache, Pleo is a no-brainer. And for those who need to get up and running fast? Premium Implementation ensures that onboarding is smooth, efficient, and tailored to their needs.

“I would recommend Pleo to others who are looking for an easily accessible system to handle business expenses,” Peter added.
