New industry-specific solution transforms Acumatica Cloud ERP into a purpose-built operational platform for food traders

ATLANTA - Marylandian -- 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.
