Valley Co-ops, a farm supply cooperative in Idaho, replaced legacy accounting software with Epicor Eagle in 2005 and added Compass analytics in 2007. The integrated system streamlined accounts payable, eliminated duplicate data entry, and enabled non-technical staff to build sales and performance reports. Cross-division analysis helped identify untapped revenue opportunities and improve margin visibility across six retail locations and agronomy services.

Key takeaways

Integrated Eagle modules reduced back-office labor by moving staff from accounts payable to higher-value roles

Compass drag-and-drop reporting allowed managers to create custom dashboards with minimal training

Cross-division sales analysis identified high-value feed customers not using propane services, increasing revenue

Real-time access to summary and detail data improved responsiveness to margin and volume variances

Monthly management meetings shifted focus from reconciling numbers to proactive business growth planning
