Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, this family-owned company has been serving guests since 1934 with a mission to make life simpler and more enjoyable. To support its growing footprint and complex operations, RaceTrac relies on seamless financial systems. Megan Wallace, Director of Financial Systems and Processes, recently shared insights into the company\u2019s decade-long partnership with Trintech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adopting Trintech\u2019s Cadency Platform, RaceTrac faced substantial challenges managing reconciliations and month-end close processes. \u201cIt was all very manual. We were compiling reconciliation support in Excel, printing them out, and putting them in notebooks\u2014which was very inefficient,\u201d Megan explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of a centralized repository resulted in inconsistent processes, limited visibility, and extensive manual workloads. \u201cWe relied heavily on verbal communication\u2014 walking from desk to desk\u2014and lacked a clear view on the status of reconciliations, as a whole,\u201d Megan added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div      class=\"billboard-block alignfull is-style-image-first billboard-block-- \">\n     <div class=\"billboard-block__image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trintech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/portrait-of-smiling-asian-barista-cafe-owner-entr-2023-11-27-05-02-09-utc-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\n               <\/div>\n\n     <div class=\"billboard-block__content\">\n          <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">The Decision to Implement Trintech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014, RaceTrac recognized the need for automated and standardized workflows. Their criteria included a solution that was experienced in the market, capable of automating manual processes, accessible online, and provided standardized workflows. Trintech\u2019s Cadency Platform emerged as the clear choice due to its robust capabilities and established market presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implementation Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RaceTrac\u2019s implementation was carefully phased across its accounting, finance, and tax departments, ensuring a smooth transition. \u201cCadency allowed us to maintain our workflows while providing better controls,\u201d Megan noted. \u201cA critical factor was that Trintech\u2019s implementation team came onsite, shared best practices, and significantly eased the transition from paper-based processes to online.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Benefits and Outcomes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With Trintech\u2019s Cadency Platform, RaceTrac gained enhanced visibility and control over their financial processes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Daily Visibility<\/strong>: &#8220;We perform daily reporting on reconciliation status. Leaders now have a clear, holistic view of reconciling items, significantly improving our understanding of potential P&amp;L impacts,&#8221; Megan shared.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Complete Reconciliation<\/strong>: Cadency ensures every account is reconciled, dramatically improving accuracy. &#8220;Having Cadency ensures we know every account is reconciled, addressing our previous issues of incomplete reconciliations,&#8221; she emphasized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Streamlined Audits<\/strong>: Auditors have direct access to Cadency, dramatically simplifying the auditing process and saving significant time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Continuous Improvement<\/strong>: Megan highlighted Cadency&#8217;s ability to identify inconsistencies proactively: &#8220;Cadency brings things to light, allowing corrections before the month-end close.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leveraging Trintech with Workday Financials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RaceTrac further benefited from the partnership with Trintech when they migrated to Workday Financials in 2020. Despite a significant shift in their GL account structure, Cadency provided continuity and stability. \u201cAs a result of moving ERP systems, Trintech\u2019s Cadency provided accessibility that gave us access to current as well as historical reconciliation data,\u201d Megan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div      class=\"billboard-block alignfull is-style-image-second billboard-block-- \">\n     <div class=\"billboard-block__image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trintech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/nathana-reboucas-3YSDTzqnVtQ-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up image shows a payment terminal being used.

Implementing technologies like Trintech<br>allows you to shift focus toward strategic business needs. The biggest advice I\u2019d give to prospective clients is to be sure to involve end users along the way to allow for effective change management.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Trintech Partnership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the decade-long relationship, Megan concluded, \u201cOur experience has been great. Trintech has continuously supported us and is moving in the right direction with ongoing enhancements and I look forward to unlocking additional value with their partnership with Workday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the investment in the Cadency Platform has delivered robust returns for RaceTrac, significantly enhancing operational visibility,<br>accuracy, and efficiency across its financial processes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"background-container-block alignfull has-blue-background-color\" >\n     <div class=\"maybe-wrapper\">\n          <div class=\"inner-container no-background\">\n               <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:47.5%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the Full Case Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover key insights and actionable strategies by downloading our full case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/go.trintech.com\/rs\/187-JVG-370\/images\/CS-RaceTrac.pdf?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download Case Study<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:8%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:47.5%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Trintech in Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing is believing.
