Baker Tilly builds custom trading application on Sage Intacct

Client background

A&F Exports is a poultry trading company that provides traders with a system through which orders can be placed and shipped. After a rigorous software evaluation, A&F chose Baker Tilly's platform on which to build their unique trading application.

The business challenge

• A&F's legacy system forced the company to manage complex trades in manual spreadsheets and documents
• The company found it difficult to manage all aspects of a trade, including a complete picture of trade costs
• Providing traders with accurate commission calculations was labor intensive and required error-prone manual processes
• The legacy system could not provide adequate reporting on trade information and did not support dimensional reporting based on products, offices and trades

Strategy and solution

• A&F Exports and its traders needed a system where they could manage all aspects of their trade from a single location, and view all components of a trade summarized together on a clear dashboard
• Building the new trading system entirely on the Sage Intacct platform provides the accounting department with seamless access to trading information
• Baker Tilly's superior reporting experience allows the company to create powerful reports and analytics on both financial and nonfinancial data

Thanks to Baker Tilly's development experience on the Sage Intacct platform, a development environment that allows customers to extend their ERP by creating custom fields, objects and applications, Baker Tilly was able to build a complete custom trading application to meet A&F's specifications and business needs.
