Question 1

What is a “split stack” for equipment dealers?

Accepted Answer

A split stack means you run day‑to‑day operations in Flyntlok (quotes, rentals, inventory) while all accounting and financial reporting lives in Sage Intacct. The two cloud platforms sync data in a highly configurable & secure cloud API, giving you speed on the ops side and true multi‑entity financial visibility on the finance side.

Question 2

Why not keep accounting inside my all‑in‑one DMS?

Accepted Answer

Legacy DMS general ledgers are rigid, hard to consolidate, and lack dimensional reporting. Sage Intacct is purpose‑built for complex, multi‑location dealerships—so you get audit‑ready financials, automated consolidations, and drill‑down visibility without spreadsheets or work‑arounds. Additionally, the development cost to maintain excellence in a legacy accounting platform and operational DMS vs modern SAAS platforms like Intacct & Flyntlok is impossible.

Question 3

How does the Flyntlok ↔ Sage Intacct integration work?

Accepted Answer

The systems connect via secure APIs. Transactions (sales orders, rentals, inventory costs) flow automatically from Flyntlok into Sage Intacct dimensions—no manual exports. Updates run on a near‑real‑time schedule, so finance always sees the latest numbers.

Question 4

Will I lose historical QuickBooks or DMS data when I switch?

Accepted Answer

No. During onboarding, historical GL balances and open transactions can be migrated into Sage Intacct, and key equipment / customer records remain in Flyntlok. You retain audit history while moving to a single source of truth going forward.

Question 5

How long does implementation take?

Accepted Answer

Most mid‑market dealers go live in 90–120 days. Flyntlok and Sage partners run parallel data loads, user training, and testing so you can keep daily operations running with minimal downtime.

Question 6

What’s the tipping point for making the move?

Accepted Answer

You have been running on a legacy DMS platform and recently faced outages due to security and performance issues.  Your staff is struggling to provide you real time financial data by location, brand, or entity. Your tech-aware staff and customer base is yelling for modern interfaces to support online sales, rental, and service work in a single, easy to maintain platform.

Question 7

How does pricing compare to an all‑in‑one DMS?

Accepted Answer

Many dealers are paying for multiple tools to support their dealership CRM, Rental, SMS Communications, Data Warehousing and more. In addition legacy platform carry hosting, VPN, and IT support costs. Moving to a single tightly integrated SAAS platform of Sage Intacct and Flyntlok these costs go away.  Most dealers see a positive ROI in the first year through faster deal closes, improved productivity, and staff no longer attempting to maintain connectivity across data silos.
