Case Study: Village of Hoffman Estates cuts req-to-check time by 80% with CentralSquare Technologies' Finance Pro

Hoffman Estates Cuts Req-to-check Time by 80% Using Centralsquare Finance Pro

The Village of Hoffman Estates, a Chicago suburb of about 55,000 residents, faced an inefficient, paper-based requisition-to-check process that typically took three to five days, offered no visibility into approval status, and led staff to make purchases before approvals. To modernize purchasing, the Village turned to CentralSquare Technologies and its cloud-based Finance Pro solution.

CentralSquare Technologies implemented Finance Pro to digitize requisitions, attach supporting documents, enforce automated workflows and email approvals, and set department-specific approval thresholds. The system cut req-to-check processing time by 80% (often down to a day), reduced paper and duplicate entries, improved visibility for requesters, and significantly lowered after-the-fact purchases.
