Case Study: University of New Mexico saves 35,000 hours a year with Emburse
Key results
The challenge
The University of New Mexico ran a heavily paper-driven expense and invoice process that required wet signatures, multiple copies, and physical document transport across campus. Processing a single reimbursement could take up to two weeks or a month.
The solution
UNM moved to Emburse Enterprise, configuring electronic routing rules and PCard integrations to automate compliance and remove manual steps from expense and invoice workflows.
“Before Emburse, we had a very paper-driven process. Wet signatures were required, lots of paper, multiple copies everywhere.”

The results, in context
After adopting Emburse, UNM reduced reimbursement time by 75% and saved an estimated 35,000 processing hours annually, along with roughly 800,000 sheets of paper a year. The number of processing steps was cut in half.
