Success story · Wholesale & Retail

Fuelling South African growth with Sage Intacct.

Q4 Fuel's growth had outrun its systems: financial reporting took up to a week and decisions waited for data. Two months after starting with Brilliant ERP, the group ran on live numbers.

The challenge: growth on manual rails.

As Q4 Fuel expanded, outdated technology and manual processes created operational bottlenecks. Financial reporting stretched up to a week, compliance risk grew with the business, and the lack of real-time insight made timely decisions difficult.

  • Reporting delays of up to a week
  • Manual invoice capture consuming full days
  • No real-time view across the group's entities

The results.

Implemented in under two months

Deployment completed with minimal operational disruption, including live bank feeds and real-time dashboards.

Automation across the back office

Billing, reporting and depreciation now run automatically, with improved asset visibility and multi-entity support.

A finance team doing finance

The team's time moved from capture to value-adding analysis such as inventory and margin review across the group.

We've been able to reduce processing times by 10 to 20% every month. Now we can do inventory and margin analysis across the group.
