Case Study: Yakima Union Gospel Mission streamlines expensing and gains spend visibility with Center

Center Streamlines Expensing for Yakima Union Gospel Mission Employees and Volunteers

Yakima Union Gospel Mission (YUGM), a nonprofit organization, faced challenges managing employee and volunteer expenses across its 17 departments using a manual, paper-based system that was difficult to audit. They needed a streamlined solution to gain visibility into spend and ensure compliance for funding. The vendor, Center, provided its expensing platform and CenterCard to address this.

By implementing Center's software and programmable cards, YUGM gained real-time visibility into spending and significantly streamlined its expensing process. As a result, the Director of Accounting now spends 60% less time processing expenses, which allows more time for high-value projects. Center provided a no-cost solution with 24/7 support, making it easier for YUGM to account for all transactions and further its mission.
