Immediate need to support work-from-home during the pandemic and beyond

Gulf Winds International runs the logistics of more than 300,000 containers per month.  In 2020, as employees working from home were impeded by slow connection speeds, the company sought a solution that would permanently support remote working, provide secure cloud access, integrate with other applications, and import drivers’ data to facilitate payments.

We wanted to make remote work permanent for our department and find a way to streamline, simplify, and get rid of paper-based processes.

The most functionality at the most competitive price

Gulf Winds International selected Sage Intacct as the solution best able to meet its needs—at the very best price. The company makes extensive use of the ability to attach supporting documents to any record within Sage Intacct, which eliminates paper usage.  The company’s CFO appreciates how easily they can access and approve transactions using Sage Intacct, even on the go. 

Nothing gets printed—journals are routed for approval, and they’re live. I’d estimate I save three days of busywork every month.

Quick access to critical data drives informed and strategic decision-making

Sage Intacct empowers the company’s remote teams and integrates with third-party applications. Gulf Winds has calculated its time savings, citing three days each month on AP tasks and another three days on financial reporting. Management is now able to access current, accurate and actionable data, which improves day-to-day operations and long-term strategic growth planning.

Rather than just being reactionary, I’m spending time looking for anomalies or trends that could positively—or negatively—impact our business.
