Case Study: Eastern Idaho Technical College achieves streamlined purchasing and strong faculty buy-in with Bellwether

Eastern Idaho Technical College - Customer Case Study

Eastern Idaho Technical College (EITC) is a state-funded two-year technical college serving nine counties with 850 full-time students and workforce training for thousands annually. Sandi Dingman, the college’s sole purchasing agent, manages a roughly $3M spend across several hundred vendors and produces about 1,000 purchase orders a year. EITC had relied on a manual paper system and a cumbersome in-house solution that failed to gain faculty buy-in, creating an urgent need for a simpler, more user-friendly purchasing platform.

After Bellwether introduced its purchasing software, EITC ran a trial with faculty testers who found the system easy to use and exceeding expectations. Implementing Bellwether replaced the paper and clunky in-house processes, improved faculty adoption, and streamlined purchasing workflows for both small business-card transactions and larger purchase orders.
