Distribution Company Saves $80,000 Per Year By Consolidating Applications

• QuickBooks could not easily be integrated with other third-party software applications forcing staff to re-enter sales orders, customer information, and product information onto multiple platforms.
• This resulted in staff being unable to process sales orders and deliveries quickly enough to meet demand – especially at the peak Christmas rush season.
• Maintaining multiple applications was proving very complicated and expensive from an IT perspective.
• It appeared that P’Kolino was going to need to hire additional seasonal staff to deal with the volume next year. The estimated cost was $80,000.

• The company needed a solution to manage its entire product value chain.
• After looking at NetSuite, MAS 200, and Microsoft Dynamics, P’kolino chose Acumatica as it had the fullest feature set at the lowest price point, and was 100% cloud-based with no software to install.
• Remaining third-party software was either replaced by native functionality within Acumatica or integrated to Acumatica easily.
• P’Kolino doubled the capacity of their team without increasing headcount.

“Acumatica is an integrated solution that has helped us improve all the processes within our business and integrate all the pieces of the puzzle from CRM to warehousing to sales inventory and orders. Everything is under one umbrella.”

– Francisco Pardo, Operations Manager, P’kolino

• Replacing QuickBooks with Acumatica and replacing or integrating the remaining applications quickly doubled productivity so seasonal headcount adds are no longer required, thus saving $80,000/year.
• P’Kolino recently integrated their website with the Acumatica sales platform, saving re-entry time and costs.
• The company estimates that once the remaining customizations are all implemented our team will be capable of processing three times the orders they do today.

Long-Term Outlook? Reduced Costs, Greater Efficiency
