Owner

It has been so easy and the support is excellent. Never have had to wait for help and they answer and help explain the "why's" of how it is set up, which helps me remember and just makes sense.

Manager

The customer service is amazing, and the online chat is helpful. The cloud based program is useful for different people to access it from different computers and devices.

Accountant

The think I like most about Traction is the ease of use. It operates very similarly to QuickBooks Online, but has functionality that is more appropriate for the farming industry.

Business Manager

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.

For a program under development, it has been great so far and it is exciting to see new features with each new software update.

My overall experience has been outstanding. I was up and running with first onboarding session.

Easy to navigate around. I like the ability to access the program from anywhere and not just your computer.

Domestic Engineer

Any questions I have had there has been videos to help me get my issues solved. Would highly recommend this software.

I like the ability to integrate multiple entities in one software product with one subscription. Also the ability to link bank accounts and credit cards for downloading transactions saves time.

Office manager

It is easy to set up and easy to use. The software has a good basis for accounting and draws in the field operations and inventory use.

Customer support is outstanding and instant. Cloud based, easy to integrate bank, credit cards.

Office Manager

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.

Likes: Connects with my bank and business cards which saves lots of time; the income/expense transactions are already generated when I login.

Since this software is new, it is missing some features but new releases are coming quickly which will get this software to where it needs to be.

Farmer

It was expensive for me to bite the bullet and purchase the software subscription but I wanted something I could stick with. Hopefully they can provide that.

Traction is a young company (but packed with plenty of veteran leaders) and is working hard to build out the program features. It will take some time to get the software completely built out properly.

Initially had difficulty getting bank account to sync. Traction support solved the problem quickly.

My only concern is it being cloud-based. Our internet doesn’t always work well & can’t access account when that happens.

CenterPoint Accounting for Agriculture

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!

Set up

Great software 

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We’re thrilled to hear about your experience and remain committed to improving our software to better serve our customers. Your insights help us refine our features and ensure we meet your needs.

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!

Awesome Farm Accounting Software

In short I want to understand and have the details of my finances and operations at my fingertips and Traction is the only software that we have found that does both.  I spent the last 2 years searching for a platform that does this and it does not exist anywhere but here.  Other software's do one or the other or if they do both they use a slim version of the finances which doesn't help me accomplish the goals I need for my business.  

Traction - Finally, Farm Software that does both Accounting and Operation Management!


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

Newer product striving to be the best software package for agriculture. 

I have just been using traction ag for less than a month and my only issue is that I wish I would have found it 3 months ago. I really have not found an issue that could not be worked around with the teams help.

Farm works, the next generation

I have been very impressed with the team and their desire to listen to what farmers truly need in a whole farm management software program.  Some of them came from FarmWorks which has been the software that we have used for the last 20+ years, so I know from that they understand how important it is to be able to do true managerial accounting. 

Previous FarmWorks user migrating over to Traction

I am extremely pleased with Traction and their staff. Software updates come every month. I wish I had this tool thirty years ago. My kids are in better hands because they are taking the helm and we share the Traction account together. They are not lost in financials; no blank stares here.

Traction Ag exceeds my expectations

Thank you, Julie, for your thoughtful review! It’s always rewarding for our team to hear how farmers like you are using the software to drive more value on the farm. Connecting field records with financials to deliver an accurate breakeven per bushel is at the heart of what we aim to do, and we’re thrilled to hear it’s working well for you. Thanks again, and we’re here if you ever need anything!

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!

Excellent System for Small Operations

Traction has simplified our accounting, field records, inventories and grain storage tracking. by bringing it into one program, instead of multiple spreadsheets.

Easy to Learn, Easier to Use

Thank you for the suggestion.  We'll add a ticket feature request for bulk field records with partial field acreage and see about fixing that in the future.  Much appreciated!

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. 

January 2023 review of Traction for our farm

From the start of looking for software to replace Farmworks and making the first phone call to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] I have not been disappointed.  Everyone I have talked to at Traction has been very helpful and easy to work with.  The file movement from my Farmworks to Traction went very smoothly.  Any questions I have had there has been videos to help me get my issues solved.  Would highly recommend this software.

Farmworks user converted to Traction

My overall experience has been very good.  Whenever I have came across a problem or have a suggestion the whole team at Traction has been very well receptive.  I have no doubt this program will develop into the "go to" program for farmers and managers alike.

Traction Ag Software

Traction software review

It has fit the void in an easy to use ag accounting and management software. Great customer support. 

Traction Software Review

Dashboard view and drill down is awesome!

Traction Ag is new and we can grow with them and don’t have to learn it all at once!

It is truly built for agriculture and we don’t have to tweak an of the shelf software to trick it to work for ag.
