98% electronic invoice submission, reducing errors and improving compliance

This recognition highlights what true technology partnership can accomplish.”

"Having the right financial technology and a partner we can trust has been essential," said Bernie McNamee, Chief Financial Officer at Stimson Lumber. "Working with Corcentric has allowed us to advance our AP processes in a way that not only improves efficiency but also strengthens relationships with our suppliers.”
