Success Story

Skogman’s Seamless Switch from Sage 300 CRE to Sage Intacct Construction

The Challenge

Skogman Companies, a longstanding customer of Bangert, Inc. since 1999, faced significant challenges with their existing financial management system, Sage 300 CRE. As the company continued to grow and evolve, it became increasingly clear that their current solution was no longer sufficient to meet their needs. Among the key challenges were:

Data Accessibility

Skogman Companies found themselves lacking the real-time financial insights they needed to make informed decisions. The reporting capabilities of Sage 300 CRE fell short of providing the level of data accessibility and accuracy required in today’s fast-paced business environment.

The Result

Efficient & Secure Cloud-Based Solution

Skogman Companies recognized the need to modernize their financial management processes and move away from server-based systems. Sage Intacct Construction offered the flexibility and security necessary, eliminating the need for on-premises servers and bolstering resilience against cyber threats. Tiffani Conrey, CFO of Skogman Companies, attested to this, emphasizing, “The cloud-based system for us, in today’s cybersecurity atmosphere, was critical. It was an easy decision, especially given our relationship with Bangert – there’s just nobody better who you know will be there for you and provide the customer service you deserve.”

“You can drill down wherever you want to, whether you’re in invoices or you’re looking at a report, you can get to other information and it was just so much more user-friendly,” said Teble Lawrence, Controller and Financial Analyst of Skogman Companies.

Seamless Integrations for Enhanced Efficiency

In addition to its user-friendly reporting and analytics, Sage Intacct Construction offers Skogman Companies the invaluable capability of seamless integration with other platforms. Conrey highlights this advantage, stating, “There was other software we’ve looked at for scanned invoice storage and other purposes that Sage Intacct can connect with much easier and faster, allowing us to push and pull data that would have been more cumbersome under Sage 300 CRE. This gives us the opportunity to grow as well.”

This streamlined integration process empowers Skogman Companies to connect Sage Intacct with various third-party applications efficiently, eliminating the complexities and inefficiencies associated with manual data transfers or incompatible systems. By enabling faster data exchange and facilitating smoother workflows, Sage Intacct Construction enhances operational agility and sets the stage for further growth and innovation within Skogman’s financial management processes.

“Bangert’s way of deploying is different than we’ve seen historically about how software is done, and it worked really effectively. I saw my team watch the videos, join the live classes, have consultants that were always there for them to answer questions and help them get through it.”

She continued, praising the ongoing support provided by Bangert: “This went much smoother and faster than I’ve seen any other software we’ve done. Usually, you get the software done, and the people in the back end kind of disappear, and you find a lack of support once you’ve implemented something. This has been the exact opposite with us and the team at Bangert as well.”
