Case Study: Ferraro Foods achieves a 4.5-day close (55% faster) with Planful and Adra

Ferraro Foods Streamlines Reconciliations and Close Using Planful and Trintech

Ferraro Foods, a foodservice distributor generating over $1B in revenue and serving 8,000+ customers across 26 states, struggled with slow, error-prone financial close processes as data lived in two ERPs and reconciliations were managed by email and spreadsheets. Growth and multiple locations made it difficult to spot and resolve errors until the close was already underway, extending cycle times and reducing visibility and control.

By adding Adra by Trintech alongside its Planful implementation, Ferraro automated large-volume reconciliations and transaction matching, introduced a controlled close calendar and task management, and ensured trusted data flowed into consolidation. The solution cut the close from 10 to 4.5 business days (a 55% reduction), saved about 8 hours per day on daily transaction matching, and freed analysts to focus on higher-value work while improving audit readiness and process accountability.
