How to Make a Strong Business Case for A P-Card Program
October, 2002
Just a few short years ago, p-cards were considered a leading-edge practice used at only a few innovative companies. Today, according to statistics from Managing Accounts Payable’s readers, just under 40% of companies already use them. But, as the statistics indicate, there are still a large number of companies ripe for the implementation of a p-card program. At many of these institutions, the ac-counts payable manager knows that a p-card program would save the company tons of money while simultaneously improving the efficiency of the department. Similarly at some companies with an existing program, the manager wants to increase the usage of the card, but is at a standstill when it comes to justifying the increase to management. The National Association of Purchasing Card Professionals (NAPCP) has developed a program that can be used to address these very issues.
