Case Study: K. Hovnanian Homes achieves real-time finance visibility with Emburse

K. Hovnanian used to miss discounts Now they move with intelligence

K. Hovnanian Homes, one of the nation’s leading homebuilders, was struggling with manual, paper-based finance processes that relied on Excel spreadsheets, offline approvals, and limited spend visibility. This created delays, missed vendor discounts, weak audit trails, and challenges enforcing policy across invoice, expense, and purchasing card workflows. The company turned to Emburse, using Emburse Enterprise and piloting Emburse Cards.

With Emburse, K. Hovnanian Homes digitized approvals, embedded policy controls, and gained real-time visibility into spend and approval status. Emburse helped automate compliance, improve coding accuracy, reduce manual reconciliation, and speed up month-end close, while transactions flowed directly into the ERP. The result was a more efficient, audit-ready finance operation with better control, faster processing, and improved ability to recover vendor discounts.
