Case Study: Farmward Cooperative streamlines accounts payable with Square 9 Softworks

Farmward Cooperative Streamlines Accounts Payable with Square 9’s AP GlobalAutomation for Agvance

Farmward Cooperative, an agricultural cooperative based in Minnesota with 11 locations, was struggling to manage nearly 500 invoices a month across its accounts payable process. The team had trouble tracking invoices, handling multi-approver approvals, and reducing heavy paper use, making AP slow and inefficient. Farmward chose Square 9 Softworks and its AP GlobalAutomation for Agvance after comparing vendors and needing a flexible solution with an API connection to Agvance.

Square 9 Softworks worked with Farmward’s team to implement a customized AP automation workflow that streamlined invoice routing, approvals, and document access with minimal disruption. The result was faster processing, secure digital access to records from any computer, major time savings on filing and retrieval, and significant paper reduction reported through Square 9’s resource tracking.
