Case Study: Education Corporation of America achieves remote approvals, significant time savings and $52,000 in card rebates with Corpay One

ECA modernizes AP payments with remote approvals and efficiency gains using Nvoicepay

Education Corporation of America (ECA), a network of 71 private colleges with a $72M AP spend and a four-person AP team, faced slow, manual accounts-payable processes—printed checks, time-consuming in-person signatures, no remote approvals, and limited electronic payment options. To modernize its supplier payments and enable remote approvals, ECA engaged Corpay One through its AP automation partner Scan One to deploy a payment automation and electronic payments solution.

Corpay One implemented seamless electronic payments and virtual approval workflows that eliminated printing and signature backlogs, reduced lost-or-reissued payments, and improved visibility into supplier payouts. In the first five months ECA earned $52,000 in card rebates, repurposed AP staff instead of downsizing, and realized significant time savings that freed the team to focus on strategic initiatives.
