Case Study: Johnny’s Selected Seeds achieves 50% faster invoice processing and a shift to 75% electronic payments with Sage Intacct

Johnny's Selected Seeds reaps long-term rewards with Sage Intacct

Johnny’s Selected Seeds, a Maine-based agricultural company founded in 1973, faced growing strain from manual financial processes as it expanded to serve home gardeners and commercial growers across thousands of SKUs. Time-consuming, error-prone invoice processing and a reliance on paper checks (75% paper, 25% electronic) limited operational efficiency and pulled finance staff away from strategic work.

By implementing Sage Intacct’s AI-driven accounts payable automation, Johnny’s automated invoice capture, PO matching, and approvals, cutting invoice processing time by 50% and reversing its payment mix to 75% electronic checks. The move improved accuracy, delivered real-time financial visibility, freed staff for innovation, and increased transparency and agility across the business.
