Case Study: Central Park Conservancy achieves streamlined procurement and spend visibility with PairSoft

PairSoft Helps Central Park Conservancy Streamline Procurement

Central Park Conservancy, the non-profit that restores and operates New York’s Central Park, struggled with a paper-based requisition system that created chaotic ordering, lack of visibility, and no reliable audit trail. The Conservancy needed electronic approval workflows, audit tracking, full spend visibility and seamless integration with Blackbaud Financial Edge to support encumbrance and accrual accounting—requirements that led them to select PairSoft’s procurement solution.

PairSoft implemented a customized procurement system integrated with Blackbaud Financial Edge, provided remote user training, and added features like duplicate requisition creation and email approvals. The result: time savings, elimination of redundant spreadsheets, unified requisition–purchase order–encumbrance–invoice–accrual processes, reinforced purchasing policies, and measurable outcomes including ERP integration, true encumbrance accounting, spend visibility and strengthened purchase approvals.
