Case Study: Co-operatives UK achieves seamless accounting and Salesforce integration with Accounting Seed

Co-operatives UK Supports Small Businesses with Accounting Seed

Co-operatives UK, a 150-year-old trade association supporting thousands of co-operative businesses, needed a new accounting system when Sage Financials was being turned off at the end of 2020. The organization, which manages extensive member and finance data in Salesforce, needed a solution that could integrate seamlessly with its CRM and support reporting, payroll, and VAT processes.

Accounting Seed delivered a native Salesforce accounting platform that replaced Sage and was fully implemented in about seven weeks. With Accounting Seed, Co-operatives UK transferred all data, improved reporting, ran sales invoices and purchase orders, and gained more efficient month-end and payroll workflows; the team said the move saved an estimated 10–15% of time spent checking financial data, with no loss of functionality.
