Challenges

Ray Allen Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer of canine equipment for military and police departments, ran on a legacy AS400 system that hindered its growth. The outdated technology did not connect to eCommerce platforms, which created duplicate accounts that required manual consolidation. Lacking a manufacturing module, the company had no real insight into production or inventory. Company executives found it difficult to fold recent acquisitions into a single coherent system.

“We were running two different systems, with two different inventories… the legacy system didn’t integrate well with eCommerce software.”

Steve Cates, Former President

ERP Solution

Ray Allen Manufacturing executives wanted a flexible, open system to fuel its growth strategy. They liked Acumatica’s flexibility and that it offered an open API that would allow Ray Allen to connect to third-party application. The cloud-based platform would allow them to run multiple companies from a single inventory and provide it with a robust foundation for expansion.

“The strength of Acumatica is that it’s an open system that’s flexible and integrates well with other applications. That gives us a lot of control,”
