Case Study: Endangered Wildlife Trust achieves streamlined, audit-ready processes and reduced administrative costs with DocuWare

Endangered Wildlife Trust - Customer Case Study

The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), a South African non-profit protecting Africa’s biodiversity since 1973, faced growing administrative strain from complex procurement and accounting processes. With about 120 of 150 staff in the field, the organisation relied on Excel forms and emails that buried critical documents in individual inboxes, made auditing difficult, and required time‑consuming manual data entry — so EWT sought a cost‑effective solution to improve transparency and compliance.

DocuWare digitized and centralized EWT’s workflows, integrating with Microsoft SharePoint for easy adoption and with Sage Intacct to automate data transfer. The system provides secure, audit‑ready archiving, automated approvals and real‑time, trackable reporting across procurement, finance, HR and contracts. The result: significantly reduced administrative effort and costs, faster approvals, greater accountability, and more resources freed for conservation work.
