Case Study: Cook Bonner Ebeling Construction achieves 75% time savings for its bookkeeper with Quadient AP by Beanworks

How One Construction Company Freed Up 75% of Their Bookkeeper’s Time

Cook Bonner Ebeling Construction, a 45-year-old custom home builder in Charleston, faced mounting delays and administrative burden when their long-time bookkeeper left and their largely site-based team struggled with paper and email invoices, manual stamping, routing and data entry. To modernize accounts payable they selected Quadient AP by Beanworks and its AP automation solution to replace paper processes and improve invoice tracking and approvals.

Quadient AP by Beanworks implemented automated invoice capture, electronic coding and one- or two-step approvals with real‑time duplicate detection and remote access, so managers can code from an iPad. The change eliminated about 90% of manual AP work and freed up roughly 75% of the former bookkeeper’s time, streamlining approvals, improving oversight and letting staff spend more time on job‑site work.
