Case Study: Bishop‑Wisecarver achieves a 3‑day month‑end close, saves 80 AP hours/month and cuts card spend ~25% with SAP Concur

Bishop-Wisecarver Speeds Up Company Processes With SAP Concur Portfolio

Bishop‑Wisecarver is a 70‑year‑old, family‑owned manufacturing company (75 employees) in Pittsburg, CA that needed a single, integrated platform to automate employee reimbursements, invoice approvals and payments while improving the user experience—their month‑end close could take up to 15 days. Leadership wanted greater controls, visibility and efficiency across AP and expense processes.

By deploying Concur Expense and Concur Invoice, the company automated workflows and gained real‑time visibility, cutting AP effort by about 80 hours per month, reducing corporate credit card spend nearly 25%, and shrinking month‑end close time from as long as 15 days to three days (and often as little as one).
