Founded in 1987, Bentek designs and manufactures innovative industrial wireless SCADA and Telemetry Solutions. From their facility in Calgary, Bentek Systems has been providing products and services to industries such as oil and gas, pipelines, water systems, mining and manufacturing across the globe. After continued expansion and success, Bentek was looking to eliminate bottlenecks and time wasted using multiple applications. By implementing Acumatica, Bentek consolidated various systems into a single, cloud-based system that streamlined company operations and positioned them for growth.
“Our team couldn’t function without Acumatica. Without it, we were double-checking and doublechecking because our data was coming from too many places … Now we have a handle on our data and it is all in one spot.” – Joy Theaker, Office Manager, Bentek Systems
Bentek manufactures, sells and installs remote satellite monitoring systems for oil and gas producers and other industries worldwide. When a network issue caused their computer systems to go down, executives found it difficult to reconstruct internal systems to ensure data wasn’t lost. The team immediately realized the many programs and processes they put in place as they grew needed to be streamlined and consolidated.
When the team went through past invoices and tried to reconstruct existing company processes, they found there were too many steps and people involved, which led to paperwork and information stored in many disconnected data repositories. The processes were inefficient and left room for potential error. In the end, all of the programs were used for nothing more than day-to-day data entry.
There was no accountability or way to track an order from intake to final payment. As a result, inventory counts and value were not accurate and only updated in accounts at end of fiscal year. Bentek realized that all order, sales and shipping processes were disjointed and inefficient, which meant the company was almost certainly losing money.
Executives now have insight into the company’s financial health and can monitor in real-time margins on items and services sold. In addition, Bentek gained reporting capabilities it never even imagined. With optimized financial systems working in concert, Bentek now has the internal intelligence and operational insight executives need to grow well into the future.
I highly recommend Acumatica ERP to industry colleagues that are looking at implementation of an ERP system.” – Ben Yee, President, Bentek Systems
