Case Study: Southeastern University streamlines P-card management with SAP Concur

Southeastern University automates $4M-$5M in P-card spend with SAP Concur

Southeastern University, a private Christian liberal arts college, faced the challenge of managing its purchasing card program with a very lean finance staff. Operating with constrained resources, the university struggled with the administrative burden and lacked visibility into spending, needing a way to automate processes and enforce policy compliance without dedicating full-time personnel. This led them to implement the P-Card Financial Integrator from SAP Concur alongside Concur Expense.

The solution from SAP Concur automated the capture, approval, audit, and posting of P-card transactions. While still expanding its use, the university gained better visibility into millions in annual spend, enabling improved policy compliance. SAP Concur set the stage for significant future efficiencies, including plans to integrate directly with the ERP to save hours of manual work monthly and to leverage data for cost-saving negotiations.
