Case Study
Eye-opening financial visibility drives informed decisions
Powell’s City of Books adopted Sage Intacct to replace outdated on-premise systems and gain real-time visibility across five stores and e-commerce operations. Automation cut hours from bank reconciliations, accelerated reporting, and made monthly close faster. Integrated inventory and multi-dimensional reporting now reveal true store profitability, Internet sales costs, and gross margin drivers. Managers use insights on freight, unit sales, and shelf profitability to negotiate better vendor terms and optimize buying. The finance team spends less time on data entry and more on forward-looking analysis.
