Case Study: American Soybean Association achieves cloud-based, paperless accounting and faster bank reconciliations with Xledger

American Soybean Association - Customer Case Study

The American Soybean Association (ASA), a 21,000-member trade group, needed to modernize its finance function to cut bank service fees on recurring transactions (wire transfers, ACH, positive-pay), streamline payables and reconciliations, and enable remote work during COVID. To address these challenges ASA implemented Xledger’s cloud-based financial software to replace legacy systems and centralize accounting processes.

Xledger delivered automated positive-pay and ACH file generation, paperless invoice workflows, real-time PDF backups, and workflow tracking, allowing ASA to secure weekly payment batches and upload files in the required formats. By using Xledger, ASA achieved measurable time savings—bank transactions can be matched daily, weekly or at month-end—improved compliance and payment security, more efficient payables and approvals, and reduced resource use through cloud automation.
