• Invoice processing times reduced to under 3 days for faster approvals and payments
• 98% electronic invoice submission, reducing errors and improving compliance
• 62% of payments made electronically in 2024, increasing efficiency and supplier satisfaction
• Enhanced payment security through Corcentric’s StopFraudTM payment protection service

“Stimson Lumber has been an outstanding partner, approaching each project with a thoughtful and strategic mindset,” said Matt Clark, President and CEO of Corcentric.“Together, we’ve transformed their AP operations into a modern, scalable process that improves efficiency, enhances compliance, and creates value for their business. 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.”

The winners of the AP Honors 2025 Awards will be announced during a virtual event taking place September 16th. The ceremony, presented by Ardent Partners, is an opportunity to celebrate the accounts payable profession and recognize excellence in the field.
