Assurance without burdens

Campus P-Card programs are synonymous with cardholder burden. Many burdens are often placed on the Cardholder including: cardholder training, purchase log responsibilities, order tracking, proof of receipt, charge validations and of course, the dreaded monthly bank statement reconciliation. Small wonder that many Professors, Department Chairs and Administrative Officers decline to accept the “empowerment” of purchase cards. The result is too few purchase cards get issued and too many small purchases pass through costly alternative processes. There is a better way!

Eliminate big-dollar costs for small-dollar purchases

It is an age-old problem. You want to manage total spending and you must account for every dollar. But the need for controls and reporting must be cost justified by the time, money and effort applied to managing micro-purchases. Micro-purchases account for as much as 95 percent of your transaction workload but amount to less than 25 percent of budgeted spending. Most organizations find that micro-purchase obligations average between $500-$1000. Add typical administrative costs of between $25 and $100 for each transaction and the financial impact of managing small purchases is staggering. Many of our clients previously turned to Purchase Card (“P-Card”) programs to reduce these costs and empower their workforce but were dissatisfied with workforce acceptance, financial controls and reporting.
