Leading Social Impact Organization Chooses Cloud-Based Procurement Platform to Streamline Operations Across 45 Users
ProcurementExpress, the leading cloud-based procurement and spend management platform for mission-driven organizations, today announced that Peaceworks has selected its platform to modernize procurement processes and strengthen financial controls across their organization.
Peaceworks, a social impact organization dedicated to building peace through economic cooperation, will implement ProcurementExpress to support approximately 45 users across multiple departments. The organization sought a solution that could handle complex payment workflows, including specialized requirements for government benefit transfers through the Canada Revenue Agency.
“Peaceworks came to us with a clear vision for transforming their procurement operations,” said Richard Greenane, Co-Owner of ProcurementExpress. “Their commitment to operational excellence while maintaining focus on their social mission aligns perfectly with our platform’s capabilities. We’re proud to support their important work with technology that simplifies compliance and accelerates their impact.”
The implementation will address several critical operational challenges for Peaceworks:
- Streamlined Payment Processing: Converting from paper-based approvals to digital workflows, with the ability to quickly scan and process invoices as payment requests
- QuickBooks Integration: Seamless synchronization with existing financial systems, including automatic budget and GL code mapping
- Flexible Approval Workflows: Department-based approval routing to ensure proper oversight while maintaining operational efficiency
- Specialized Field Management: Custom fields to handle unique requirements for government benefit transfers and client account management
“The ability to upload invoices, convert them to payment requests, and track everything in real-time was exactly what we needed,” said Jason Hildebrand, consultant representing Peaceworks during the selection process. “The fact that ProcurementExpress can accommodate our unique requirements for government benefit transfers while maintaining full integration with QuickBooks sealed the deal for us.”
The platform’s scan-and-match feature will be particularly valuable for Peaceworks, enabling staff to quickly upload invoices and automatically extract information, reducing manual data entry and the risk of errors. With ProcurementExpress’s 15-minute project setup capability, Peaceworks expects to have their team operational quickly, with new users able to be trained in minutes.
Peaceworks joins over 764 organizations nationwide that trust ProcurementExpress for procurement and spend management, including nonprofits, educational institutions, government agencies, and businesses across various industries.
Implementation Highlights:
- Custom pricing package designed specifically for Peaceworks’ 45-user requirement
- 60-day money-back guarantee ensuring successful adoption
- 2-3 week implementation timeline for QuickBooks Online integration
- Comprehensive training and support for all user levels
“What impressed us most was ProcurementExpress’s commitment to our success,” added Jason. “From the initial demo to the customized pricing proposal, they’ve shown they understand the unique needs of mission-driven organizations like ours.”
The implementation is expected to begin in April 2025, with full deployment across all departments anticipated within the first quarter.
