We’ve mainly been using the accounting features and are very satisfied with how it is designed for farmers like us. Although it’s not a limitation of the system, we haven’t yet explored other features like field operations and inventory management. The system offers a lot of functionality, so it really depends on your specific needs. I highly recommend it to others!
Pros
I love how Traction Ag is accessible online, allowing me to use it anywhere, anytime. It’s incredibly simple and straightforward for handling accounting tasks and keeping the books organized. I also appreciate the ease of managing multiple entities, as I can quickly choose the specific information I need on a report. When reconciling my ledger, I can synchronize all my systems with the bank with a single click, or select which ones to update individually. It's intuitive, efficient, and easy to work with.
Cons
It does take some time setting up each entity and the chart of accounts for each, but the same could be said with probably any accounting program. Their support team has been great getting my questions answered.

I have been very pleased with Traction Ag and how they specialize in agriculture. In addition, their customer service is excellent. Any issues or questions are always responded to in a very timely manner and their team is so pleasant to talk to.
Pros
I really like how Traction provides the tools necessary to capture field profitability. I can also easily look at my income and expense, and after reconciling my accounts from month to month, I am able to see my income expenses, catagorized into agriculture specific catagories.
Cons
The only issue I have with traction is finding the time to import all of my field records into the basic operations.

Awesome Farm Accounting Software
Reviewed on 2021/02/26

The ability to enter transactions into different entities all in the same place is a huge timesaver and having all of the entities financial information together to give an overall picture of the entire operation is a HUGE asset! These two pieces alone were enough to justify making a switch but there are so many more benefits to using Traction! The knowledge base that they bring to the product is tremendous and they have multiple support options to help you with any problem or question you might have. Agriculture has its own unique rules and requirements when it comes to accounting and record-keeping and having a product like Traction that helps me keep track of all of it is a tremendous benefit to my farming operation!
Pros
The product is easy to setup and use--much more so than other farm accounting packages I have used. You can be up and running with a few simple steps. The ability to run multiple entities at the same time and have all of the information available either separately or together is a great feature!! Having all the information together in one place makes it much easier to analyze and make business decisions. And the ability to tie your banking information directly to your records is a great time saver for those wanting that option. I appreciate, however, that Traction also has the capability to enter your transactions manually. Having options is what makes a GREAT product!!!
Cons
Because the software is new, there are still a few features that I am waiting on to be added. Once the land, equipment, supplies and field record-keeping pieces become available it will be a full service Farm Software package. Not having these pieces right away just keeps me from entering some of my transactions which have occurred.

GranularReasons for Choosing Traction
I have used the FarmWorks product for 20 years. Unfortunately when Trimble purchased FarmWorks their focus on supporting FarmWorks diminished. Their technical help and support became harder to get as they shut down their Discussion Boards and lost some of their representatives along with the long-time knowledge that they had of the product. Then they released an online version of their product which they re-designed three times and it never did really work. It was unfortunate as well as frustrating to see the decline in the support as well as the product.Reasons for Switching to Traction
Granular does not have an accounting component and they kept pushing me to simply use QuickBooks. I like having both an accounting component and a field record-keeping component in one package plus the added benefits this gives you in analyzing information and decision-making. Additionally, Granular was much higher in cost for half of the product. Probably the more important deciding factor was the industry experience that Traction brings to the product. Even though it is a new start up, they understand what is needed in a farming software package and are willing to continue to expand the software's capability to meet the needs of the farmer.Traction FAQs
