Case Study: Elhogar achieves greater purchasing transparency and faster approvals with ProcureDesk

How Elhogar Increased Purchasing Transparency Using ProcureDesk

Elhogar, a not-for-profit mental health services organization, faced a significant challenge in maintaining spend control and transparency. Their manual, email-based purchasing process lacked visibility, causing delays and complicitating their cost-reimbursement contracts with the county. Their objective was to modernize this process to gain complete insight into expenses. To address this, they partnered with the vendor ProcureDesk for a purchasing automation solution.

ProcureDesk implemented its purchasing software to automate Elhogar's requisition and approval workflow. The solution was customized to shift approval accountability to program directors, eliminating bottlenecks. The implementation was completed quickly, and the results were substantial. Employees reduced the time to create a purchase request from 10-15 minutes to under a few minutes, and the approval cycle time was cut by more than 50%. ProcureDesk provided the organization with clear oversight of spending and an audit-proof process.
