How does selecting the right ERP Software by the CEO’s move the needle forward to success? Following are 3 successful CEO stories.
- Joy Gendusa; CEO; Postcard Mania; Clearwater, FL. Business: Delivering social media, email marketing, direct mail and other services for about 12,000 active customers.Their challenge: The growing complexity of their operations led Ms. Gendusa to a realization: “We’re too big, and we had too many moving parts resulting in complexity of their operations. They had homegrown CRM that we built a workflow into, but with no accounting in it, which was insane
Their Solution: They narrowed down their choice to Acumatica and NetSuite, which they found comparable in terms of features and functionality. But “Acumatica stood out because they were the only company that offered a perpetual license. We can purchase the rights to the source code and scale up or down without having to purchase additional user licenses, and that’s huge.”
- Juan Schotel; CEO; EOS Group; Guayaquil, Ecuador. Business: Sells medical supplies and equipment solutions, from heart monitors to MRI machines, to hospitals and doctor’s offices.Juan’s challenge: As business grew, they were forced to use Excel for some processes, the company’s workflow was becoming cumbersome and inefficient. And then there were complex tax issues unique to Ecuador.
And Juan’s solution: Acumatica’s modern platform would make customizations easier; helped define and implement more effective business process workflows and mission critical solutions.
- Ehren Dimitry; President/CEO; AME Corporation; New Jersey, US, and Shanghai, China. Business: ISO 9001: 2008-certified supplier that specializes in custom rubber and plastic components and sealing solutions.Their challenge: With global presence, all 20 of their staff members could not access information and collaborate. This included access to business documents stored on Box. AME staff had to access. Box and Acumatica separately. That is, until Acumatica 4.0 was rolled out and the two were linked in a powerful integration. Today, this has vastly improved the way AME staff work.
And their solution was: Acumatica platform allowed Acumatica-Box integration. Now employees had a single sign-on. They are working towards a fully green environment and the fact that documents are at our fingertips, online and easily accessible, brings us closer to a paperless scenario.”
