Case Study: New Orleans College Prep achieves $85,000+ annual savings and streamlined procure-to-pay with Corpay One

Procure to pay automation with Coupa and Nvoicepay saves NOCP over $85,000

New Orleans College Prep, a nonprofit network of three charter schools serving over 1,400 students, faced time-consuming, paper-based AP processes that left finance with little visibility or control. With a two-person finance team and roughly 550 invoices a month, staff spent about four hours weekly manually approving invoices and had no purchase orders to track spending. To modernize procure-to-pay, NOCP implemented Coupa for PO and invoice automation and engaged Corpay One for electronic payment processing.

Using Coupa integrated with Corpay One, NOCP automated purchase orders, invoice routing/approvals, and payment execution (card, ACH, then check), giving managers real-time budget visibility and finance instant access to invoice and payment histories. The change eliminated paper workflows, reduced invoice research to seconds, cut payment-related questions to finance, and produced roughly $85,000 in annual savings—allowing the district to purchase more student laptops and strengthen strategic purchasing. Corpay One’s payment automation was a key part of these measurable improvements.
