Real-Time Diagnostic Center Petty Cash Management Across 300+ Locations with SpendX
How a leading integrated healthcare network achieved complete healthcare expense tracking and multi-location petty cash visibility with MYND's intelligent expense management platform.
About the Client
A prominent integrated healthcare network operating PAN India with a strong presence in both hospital and diagnostic services. The organization runs 300+ diagnostic centers spanning Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities and multi-specialty hospitals offering tertiary and quaternary care.
Diagnostic Center Expense Controls Were Fragmented and Reactive
Managing petty cash across 300+ diagnostic centers presented significant visibility and control challenges. Without real-time healthcare expense tracking, the finance team operated in the dark—unable to monitor actual cash positions or enforce spending limits effectively.
Understanding the Healthcare Context
Diagnostic centers handle numerous day-to-day operational expenses—stationery for reports, minor equipment repairs, local transport for sample collection, and urgent medical supplies. With 300+ locations spread across Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities, the sheer volume of small transactions created a complex multi-location petty cash visibility challenge that manual processes couldn't address.
Zero Real-Time Visibility
No real-time visibility of petty cash balances held at individual diagnostic centers for day-to-day operational expenses. Finance teams couldn't determine actual cash positions across locations until month-end reports arrived.
Uncontrolled Replenishment
Replenishment requests were processed based on operations team approval without systematic limits or controls. This created inconsistent cash allocations and potential for over-funding at certain centers.
Monthly Reconciliation Delays
Expense vouchers for center-level spending (stationery, minor repairs, local transport) were submitted monthly, creating reconciliation challenges. Month-end closures were delayed as finance teams scrambled to process accumulated vouchers.
High Working Capital Locked
High cash float at centers impacted working capital and increased risk of misuse or cash leakage. Excess cash sitting at multiple locations represented significant opportunity cost for the organization.

Introduced MYNDSpendX for daily expense voucher submission with digitized approval workflows at center level. Center managers now capture expenses in real-time via mobile, eliminating the month-end voucher accumulation challenge.
Policy-Based Spending Limits
Built petty cash voucher limit validation within SpendX to control spending aligned to center policies. Each diagnostic center has defined spending thresholds, and the system automatically flags or blocks transactions exceeding limits.

The implementation delivered measurable improvements in visibility, accuracy, and working capital efficiency—demonstrating the power of intelligent diagnostic center expense controls.
Reduced Cash Float
Lower cash holdings at diagnostic centers freed up working capital, positively impacting overall financial health. The organization now maintains optimized cash levels based on actual utilization patterns rather than arbitrary allocations.

Daily expense submission eliminated month-end reconciliation struggles and posting delays. Finance teams now close books faster with complete confidence in expense data accuracy across all 300+ locations.
Timely Replenishment
Operations teams received replenishments on schedule, reducing payment follow-ups and maintaining operational efficiency. Centers no longer face cash shortages or excess float situations.
With MYNDSpendX, the finance team transformed from reactive expense processors to proactive cash flow managers—gaining complete multi-location petty cash visibility and control that was previously impossible with manual processes.
