Case Study: Populi scales accounting operations and speeds monthly close with Campfire

Populi migrates from Xero To Campfire for its next stage of growth

Populi, a B2B subscription software company providing an all-in-one platform for colleges and universities, was facing significant challenges with its previous accounting software, Xero. The company had outgrown the platform, encountering issues with transaction volume limits that throttled data, slow search speeds, inconsistent API connectivity during outages, and suboptimal customer support.

To solve these problems, Populi chose to implement Campfire as its new accounting platform. The solution involved a custom integration using Campfire's flexible APIs to automate the syncing of in-product payment data. The results included an accelerated monthly close process, saving the finance team days per year, and a dramatic reduction in the time required to manage transactions. The partnership with Campfire also provided premium support and product improvements influenced by Populi's feedback.
