Case Study: The Hotchkiss School achieves streamlined, automated procurement and cost savings with Fraxion

The Hotchkiss School gains efficiencies and savings with Fraxion

The Hotchkiss School, an independent boarding school in Lakeville, Connecticut serving 599 students, struggled with manual, paper-based purchasing, multiple payment methods (corporate cards, check requests, 1099s), and limited integration with its accounting system. Seeking a solution that would integrate with Microsoft Dynamics GP and bring campus-wide visibility and control, the School implemented Fraxion’s procure-to-pay software, including PunchOut catalogs and invoice/approval functionality.

Fraxion was rolled out broadly, expanding user access, enabling PunchOut integrations with 14 vendors (including Amazon Business), automating multi-level approvals and invoice workflows, and syncing committed budgets in real time with GP. As a result, annual purchase orders rose from about 1,100 to over 3,000, the School consolidated vendor accounts, realized anecdotal savings (including $3,000 saved on a $15,000 machine and reported reductions up to 20%), and greatly improved audit readiness and spend visibility thanks to Fraxion.
