"Traction Enterprises"
I'm able to keep track of what is going on in the field on a daily basis. Quick turnaround of data allows for management decisions. They still lack a good way of tracking grain inventory. The organization of data coming from the field.

Excellent software with tiers that suit even small operations. Traction claims to be build for farmers, and that really does seem to be the case. I recommend it to friends and customers.

Excellent System for Small Operations
Overall: When I started farming on my own, I knew I wanted to be well organized. I had heard of different accounting systems, some of which are not well adapted to farming. Traction appealed because it was built for farming. So far, it has not disappointed! Pros: Traction works at my own very small (<500 acres) scale. It allows me to make good decisions throughout the year. I also work in Ag Lending, and I wish that all borrowers could provide detailed reports like Traction generates. The opportunity to trial the software was beneficial - I was more confident making a selection. Cons: No cons to mention, but I would point out that my small operation does not use all of the capabilities of Traction.

Easy to Learn, Easier to Use
Overall: Traction has simplified our accounting, field records, inventories and grain storage tracking. by bringing it into one program, instead of multiple spreadsheets. Pros: I can see field by field profit and write a check with just a few clicks. Cons: Adding field records would be better if I could apply to multiple fields at the same time but input a specific amount of acres for each field that was partially covered.

"Traction connects my finances, inventory, and field records."
Simple, time-saving, and efficient are the things I need my farm accounting software does, and Traction does it all. I can integrate my data from other sources like bank accounts and credit cards so that all my transaction data is waiting for me when I log in. I can do the same with my Agronomic Data using John Deere Operations Center or Climate so that I don't need to double input my crop and field operations data. Traction allows me to have my financial data organized at my fingertips so I can use it daily to make operational decisions on my farm. The only downside to traction at this point is not having full accrual-based acounting; however, they plan to have that built out by the end of the year, so it is only a temporary issue. That said, the cash accounting side does more than many other systems I have used/looked at. Traction is helping me keep my finances, inventory, and field records in order and connected. They are doing this all while doing my tax preparation throughout the year in real-time across multiple entities.

Built by folks who understand farming!
Overall: Good experience and they have a knowledgable and helpful team. Pros: I like the ease of use; it's easy to drill down and see the detail when you need to. Also like the crop year based accounting so I really know how that crop year performed; this is way more informative than a calendar year system. Also like that its cloud based; you are not tied to one computer and you are able to open multiple tabs. Cons: It's a young software that does the basic blocking and tackling very well, and even though they don't have every feature today, they are listening well and building new features continuously.

Traction Review
Overall: Customer support is excellent. Onboarding of this type of software is very involved and the company is well-resourced to support the customer during this process. Pros: Data integrations are the best feature - with the bank, but also to automatically gather field activity data. Cons: Traction is in early stages and there are several accounting and management features that they will be adding over the next several months and years.

January 2023 review of Traction for our farm
Overall: Staff has been very detailed and excellent to work with. They have several videos available to assist in set up, designs and functions of their software. They also will respond very quickly on the chat box or via video conference call. Pros: I really like the ability to quickly enter income and expense items with full data to reflect proper inventory and financial management. Also the ability to link in to our bank accounts and upload invoices and crop settlements, which can easily be revisited and printed at later dates. Revisiting the detailed invoices on equipment repairs comes in very handy in verifying parts installed on equipment. Cons: Traction is working on taking data to the machinery management level that I desire to have, such as filters, parts inventories linked to equipment models that we own. Also maintain equipment records, hopefully can tie into equipment manufacture's maintenance record templates at some point. Then all my records would be in one location.

Newer product striving to be the best software package for agriculture.
Overall: Overall, I am very pleased with traction, and I am excited to see how this software package evolves. I have tried many software packages and spreadsheets in the past, and none have come close to the ambitious goal of being the “one stop shop” for Farm management software Pros: Farming software has always been segregated. Some dealt with financial data, and some dealt with field records. And for the most part, we were left on our own for accounting to use generic business software. But Traction aims to finally be the missing link between all these areas. It has an awesome accounting package, mixed with very capable field records, and a polished, completely online package. Also, they are continuously rolling out new features. Cons: Like any new software, even my own spreadsheets, there is a learning curve to adjust to the thought process behind many tasks. Fortunately, Traction provides fantastic support, whether by a live person, or videos, to guide me through the learning process.

I highly recommend Traction for agricultural accounting software! This web-based product is simple to set up and get started. It covers both accounting transactions as well as field operations so you can have an accurate picture of your farm's breakeven and profitability at any given time during the year. They continue to add features to the product making it an invaluable tool to the operation!! Access to customer service is easy and outstanding as they go out of their way to help no matter the issue. Take a look at Traction-you won't be disappointed!

If you run a farm you need Traction! Traction has been a essential addition to our farm management. I have been searching for a farm accounting package that will make tax season easier, keep my inventory, tie real costs to field records and help me easily understand my financial position so that I can make decisions. Traction does all of these things and much more, like the ability to link my bank and credit card accounts so that I don't have to re-enter all of my transactions, Traction just automatically brings them in and then I can easily organize them. I can link My John Deere Operations Center and all of my field records automatically import as well. I also really love the fact that I can tie repair and operational expenses to each piece of equipment so I can see what it really is costing me on a per acre/year basis to run my equipment. All in all, I am very happy we found Traction and give the free trial a go, this is Farm Accounting made easy in the 21st century!

As a former Farm Works dealer, Traction Ag Software is a great replacement for Farm Works users. I recently attended an in-person training and saw how easy the software is to setup and use. Convenient since you can add information on the go from your phone, iPad or laptop and the Traction development team continues to add more features to the program. Anxious to see what comes next.
