ATKV needed to move off a legacy system that was holding its finance function back. Managers faced a two to three week delay in approving purchase orders, and generating month-end close reports took ten business days.
Getting real-time information was difficult. Everything was first exported to Excel, then sent to head office, and finally collated before usable financial information was available. For a cultural and leisure organisation operating multiple resorts and divisions, that lag made timely decision-making almost impossible.
A self-service finance team
After migrating to Sage Intacct with Brilliant Link, the benefits were immediate. Sanri van der Walt, ATKV MSW Financial Manager, highlighted being able to design reports without needing external consulting resources. Users adopted the software easily and were able to self-learn through Sage Intacct University.
"Because we can do real-time checks on the information, we are able to do the corrections, if needed, much sooner."

Garrith Hyman, Head of Sage Intacct at migration partner Brilliant Link, who helped ATKV with its migration, points to the reliability and compliance measures built into the platform. With drill-down from report to transaction and automated controls, ATKV gained both speed and confidence in its numbers.
The result is a finance team that spends less time moving data between systems and more time acting on it, exactly the shift Brilliant Link aims to deliver with every Sage Intacct implementation.
