Please try againBefore Euna Marketplace, Franklin University’s purchasing team spent significant time managing routine transactions and vendor-specific processes across dozens of disconnected ordering systems. This fragmented approach increased administrative workload, complicated coordination of campus delivery, and limited the time procurement staff could devote to higher-value purchasing activities.By implementing Euna Marketplace, Franklin University established a single point of purchase with guided buying tools, enabling departments to make routine purchases independently without relying on procurement staff for every transaction. As a result, the university has reduced daily administrative workloads, consolidated campus deliveries across its downtown hybrid footprint, identified additional opportunities to reduce purchasing costs, and freed staff to focus more of their time on high-value work.“Euna Marketplace has made purchasing much easier for our teams,” said Marcus Rucker, Director of Purchasing, Mail and Print at Franklin University. “Departments now have the freedom to make routine purchases on their own, while our purchasing team can spend less time supporting individual transactions and more time focusing on how we use the university’s resources effectively. For a nonprofit institution, that matters because every dollar and every staff hour we save can be put toward supporting our students and our mission.”How Centralized Purchasing Gives Nonprofit Universities More Control and Less Administrative OverheadFor nonprofit higher education institutions, purchasing efficiency directly affects how far limited operating resources can stretch. Every hour spent managing routine orders and every dollar lost to fragmented purchasing is capacity that cannot be directed toward other institutional priorities.Franklin University’s centralized and cataloged approach makes routine purchasing easier for employees while reducing the administrative burden on its Purchasing, Mail and Print Department. The result is faster procurements that allows the university to preserve staff capacity, control purchasing costs, and direct more attention toward work that supports its academic mission and student experience.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Franklin University achieved the following results from its shift to Euna Marketplace:Centralized purchasing activity: In 2025, Franklin University placed 266 orders totaling $56,208.64 through Euna Marketplace, with access to 60 live suppliers through a single purchasing platform.Streamlined invoice processing: Franklin University processed 122 invoices valued at $573,259.73 through the platform in 2025, bringing more purchasing activity into a consistent process.Greater employee independence: Guided buying helped employees make routine purchasing decisions without depending on procurement staff for each transaction.Less administrative work: A more consistent purchasing process reduced the day-to-day support required from the Purchasing, Mail and Print Department and simplified delivery coordination across Franklin’s downtown, hybrid-work campus.“With Euna Marketplace, Franklin University is making everyday purchasing easier for its teams and gaining better visibility into how and where money is being spent,” said Brian Haney, Chief Customer Officer at Euna Solutions. “By reducing the time and money tied up in routine administrative processes, institutions like Franklin University can preserve more capacity for the priorities that matter most, including delivering a positive experience for students.”About Euna SolutionsEuna Solutions® is the leading provider of purpose-built, cloud-based software designed to streamline procurement, budgeting, payments, and grants management for public sector and government organizations.
