m-hance’s mobile eProcurement system wins international environmental award

Business software solutions provider m-hance has been honoured for its pioneering Purchase Management eProcurement system at this year’s International Green Apple Awards. m-hance Purchase Management is the first of the Stockport-based company’s intellectual property (IP) solutions to receive a prestigious award for its green credentials following significant investment into its innovative cloud, mobile and social product range. m-hance competed against more than 500 nominees in the Green Apple Awards and will be presented with a trophy and certificate in the House of Commons on 11th November 2013.

The International Green Apple Awards, run by UK-based The Green Organisation, recognise reward and promote businesses who demonstrate and provide environmental benefits within their practice and are established as one of the leading environmental award schemes worldwide.

Mark Thompson, CEO of m-hance, says, “We are delighted that one of our own-authored solutions has been recognised for its contribution to improving the environment. Winning this award is especially satisfying given that m-hance Purchase Management was only launched six months ago, but this clearly justifies the significant investment we have made in developing innovative solutions that significantly improve efficiency and eliminate paper usage.”

m-hance Purchase Management is a mobile spend management solution that enables organisations to track the approval status and location of purchase requisitions, invoices and expenses and confirm receipt of goods ordered electronically. By reducing the production, handling and distribution of paper, m-hance Purchase Management can reduce processing costs by up to 80 per cent whilst enabling businesses to save on average 228 tonnes of CO2 per annum.

Purchase Management also features pioneering mobile functionality by allowing authorised users to access the system via smartphone or tablet devices, whilst seamlessly interfacing with m-hance’s financial management system and additional solutions which comprise its m-hancements product suite.

Thompson comments “m-hance Purchase Management has been specifically developed for organisations operating from multi sites who are hindered by outdated, standalone systems and inefficient paper-based processes. We wanted to develop a product that was not only user-friendly and mobile, but addressed the important issue of improving environmental performance and cutting costs.”

m-hance is one of the fastest growing technology firms in the UK. The company provides financial management and customer relationship management solutions which are complemented by an innovative range of integrated cloud, mobile and social applications. These solutions enable m-hance’s 2,000 customers worldwide to gain efficiency savings, boost productivity and improve their competitive advantage.
