illi News/10341144

ATLANTA - illiNews -- OPUS Global Data Solutions (OPUS GDS), a leading Acumatica Cloud ERP implementation partner, today announced the launch of Food Trader Plus™, an industry-specific solution built exclusively for food brokers and food trading companies.

Food Trader Plus extends Acumatica Cloud ERP with capabilities designed to address the unique operational challenges of food trading, including early deal-level profitability visibility, export documentation, logistics coordination, and the complex workflows required to move products across domestic and international markets.

While many ERP systems excel at recording financial transactions, food traders often continue to manage critical parts of every deal in spreadsheets, email, shipping portals, and undocumented processes. The result is fragmented information, delayed decisions, hidden margin erosion, and increasing operational risk as companies grow.

Food Trader Plus was created to solve that problem. "Food brokers often have a very painful operational control problem," said Bo Wise, Principal at OPUS Global Data Solutions. "As trading businesses grow, they often find themselves relying on spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and institutional knowledge to manage increasingly complex deals. Food Trader Plus brings those critical processes together inside the ERP, giving companies greater visibility, consistency, and confidence across every transaction."

Unlike generic ERP implementations, Food Trader Plus was designed specifically around how food brokers operate today.

Current capabilities include:

• Manage the stages to know the who, what and where of each trade deal
• Earlier visibility into deal-level net deal profit
• Calculate and track commission and spiff commitments
• Back-to-back order management for spot and contract trading
• Automated unit-of-measure conversions across countries and trading partners
• Generation of export and logistics documents directly from each transaction
• Configurable approval workflows for margin thresholds and credit approvals
• Trader dashboards, operational reporting, and management visibility
• Landed cost tracking and expense allocation to improve profitability analysis
• Flexible document templates tailored by customer and destination country

The solution also supports operational teams with shipment coordination, country-specific documentation requirements, standardized loading instructions, and automated workflows that help reduce dependence on undocumented tribal knowledge.

"Our goal wasn't simply to customize ERP software," added Bo. "We wanted to give food traders a better operating model—one that helps protect margin, standardize execution, and give every team member the visibility they need to move deals forward with confidence."

Food Trader Plus is built on the Acumatica Cloud ERP platform, providing organizations with modern cloud technology while delivering functionality tailored specifically to the operational realities of food trading.
