Traction improves our Farm's Success

I have been very pleased with Traction Ag and how they specialize in agriculture. In addition, their customer service is excellent. Any issues or questions are always responded to in a very timely manner and their team is so pleasant to talk to.

Pros

I really like how Traction provides the tools necessary to capture field profitability. I can also easily look at my income and expense, and after reconciling my accounts from month to month, I am able to see my income expenses, catagorized into agriculture specific catagories.

Cons

The only issue I have with traction is finding the time to import all of my field records into the basic operations.

Awesome Farm Accounting Software

The ability to enter transactions into different entities all in the same place is a huge timesaver and having all of the entities financial information together to give an overall picture of the entire operation is a HUGE asset! These two pieces alone were enough to justify making a switch but there are so many more benefits to using Traction! The knowledge base that they bring to the product is tremendous and they have multiple support options to help you with any problem or question you might have. Agriculture has its own unique rules and requirements when it comes to accounting and record-keeping and having a product like Traction that helps me keep track of all of it is a tremendous benefit to my farming operation!

Pros

The product is easy to setup and use--much more so than other farm accounting packages I have used. You can be up and running with a few simple steps. The ability to run multiple entities at the same time and have all of the information available either separately or together is a great feature!! Having all the information together in one place makes it much easier to analyze and make business decisions. And the ability to tie your banking information directly to your records is a great time saver for those wanting that option. I appreciate, however, that Traction also has the capability to enter your transactions manually. Having options is what makes a GREAT product!!!

Cons

Because the software is new, there are still a few features that I am waiting on to be added. Once the land, equipment, supplies and field record-keeping pieces become available it will be a full service Farm Software package. Not having these pieces right away just keeps me from entering some of my transactions which have occurred.

Set up

Pros

The most impactful features is the ability to have a financial management software that also can be used for the cash accounting as well. Traction was easy to set up and start. Integration into our business has been seamless so far .

Cons

It doesn't really feel like its complete yet. Features are still coming into it which can make it difficult sometimes to get the results we need currently.

Traction - Finally, Farm Software that does both Accounting and Operation Management!

In short I want to understand and have the details of my finances and operations at my fingertips and Traction is the only software that we have found that does both. I spent the last 2 years searching for a platform that does this and it does not exist anywhere but here. Other software's do one or the other or if they do both they use a slim version of the finances which doesn't help me accomplish the goals I need for my business.

Pros

The best part of Traction so far has been the Accounting Platform, and most importantly the ability to automatically pull in all of my transactions from my various accounts! Once you have your chart of accounts customized to your operation (which took less than a day to accomplish) its as simple as a few clicks to have all my accounting organized. Taxes and my balance sheet next year will be as easy as hitting "print".

Next, the mapping part of operations is also very user friendly. I imported my maps from my old software in a matter of minutes and then updated them using the built in tools. It only took me a minute to learn how to use the tools and I didn't even watch a tutorial video.

Onboarding with Traction is as simple as three easy steps and is very user friendly, especially for a new user!

Tractions Customer Support has been second to none! If I have a question I can likely find the answer and a video explaining it in the Knowledge Center. If I can't find it there the customer support team is only a chat away and very quick to respond.

Cons

The operations side is not finished yet, but in the initial release of the operations there is already great functionality, but more is needed to make it better and I believe they are going to deliver that in time.

Reasons for Choosing Traction

Farm Works Accounting was fantastic, however we have moved forward in how we need the delivery of our platform. 20 years ago, desktop software was the way to go. Today and moving into the future, a cloud based platform is essential to make the user experience the best that it can be.

Reasons for Switching to Traction

All of the options we looked at were close to what we wanted in terms of accounting and operational functionality but none do both as well as Traction does. Traction also is a more affordable option than the others we looked at, and delivers the best ROI.
