Commercial Contractor Automates Accounts Payable

This case study details the experience of Parkwest Projects Ltd., a commercial contracting firm in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, in automating their accounts payable processes using Edenred Pay's Payment Automation Platform. The accounts manager, Cheryl Cheyne, previously managed a labor-intensive payment system involving manual checks and envelopes, which was both time-consuming and difficult to organize. After realizing the ease of integration with their existing accounting software, Cheryl transitioned to the automated system. The new process allows for direct uploads of payment files, invoice approvals, and the generation of virtual credit card numbers for vendor payments. As a result, Parkwest has experienced a reduction in workload, improved organization of payments, and cost savings in staff time and postage. The automation has also led to a new revenue stream, demonstrating the effectiveness of the implemented solution.
