Off site data silos meant slow reporting
ATKV’s CFO, Sanri van der Walt, sought to replace the legacy system due to 2-3 week delays in PO approvals and month-end close reports taking 10 business days.
Getting real time information was difficult. Everything was exported first to Excel, then sent to head office, and finally collated before useable financial information was available.
“Typically, before it took up until 10 business days before we could send out month end reports because we had to compile it manually.”

Switching to Sage Intacct boosts uptime
“The redundancy they guarantee up time of 99.9% you’ll never have any issues,” says Garrith Hyman, Head of Sage Intacct at Brilliant ERP, who assisted ATKV with its migration. He also appreciates the compliance and dependability measures offered by Sage Intacct. They supply the required reports and certifications.
“We all know that you can be hacked anytime. Sage has never been hacked so security is very important to them.”

Efficiencies gained, time saved
The efficiencies were evident for ATKV and Sanri: “We are able to make the necessary corrections much sooner because we can perform real-time checks on the information.”
Instead of being done every month, the month-end reviews might now be completed every day or every week.
“We’ve reduced our month-end reporting time by 2-3 days since starting Sage Intacct.”
