About Client

America’s AG Parts Supplier

SMA began in 1964 with the father-son team of Bill Hurt, Sr. and Bill Hurt, Jr. It was a rather modest start – a smattering of farm parts on white butcher paper spread across an old, dusty ping pong table. Today, after more than 50 years of family ownership, SMA calls itself America’s Ag Parts Supplier – with good reason.

SMA offers 30,000 agricultural-related parts to customers across the United States. They do this from five distribution centers strategically-located in Jonesboro, Arkansas; Corsicana, Texas; Des Moines, Iowa; Fresno, California; Strongsville, Ohio.

In January 2017, SMA acquired TISCO, a market-leading distributor of high-wear replacement parts for tractors, combines and other ag machinery and implements. The TISCO brand encompasses 325 suppliers and has long been known as the trusted name in tractor parts.

SMA Retires Two Legacy Systems…
Saves Thousands With TrinDocs Automatic Invoicing!

TrinDocs is a dream come true! They helped us simplify and automate our AP process with a seamless integration into our Epicor P21 ERP system. They made the implementation quick and easy. I really can’t say enough good things about the software or the team!
Jane Mote
CFO

Unique Situation
Southern Marketing Affiliates Inc. struggled with several manual processes in their Accounting department. One of their accounting managers had the daily task of manually verifying that inventory receipt paperwork was scanned into SMA’s legacy document archive system. Additionally, invoice approvals was another manual process that took hours a week to process.

Tailored Solution
TrinDocs was able to automate their workflow and now TrinDocs uploads invoices, compares invoices to inventory receipts and creates payables transactions automatically in their ERP system (Epicor Prophet 21).

After implementing TrinDocs, now accounting managers only get involved on an exception basis rather than verifying all receipts.

TrinDocs automated invoice approvals for SMA, achieving very high OCR accuracy to auto-populate data and eliminate manual data entry by tailoring unique form templates for SMA’s most active vendors. TrinDocs automation not only saves the company money, but also frees employees to work on other things!

“I personally would spend as much as an hour or two per week approving invoices and that has been reduced to mere minutes with TrinDocs!”

– Jack Mullins, IT Manager
