Challenges

Before Acumatica, Envent Engineering relied on outdated systems like Simply Accounting, spreadsheets, and siloed databases across multiple locations. Disconnected and manual processes made tracking costs, inventory, and profitability challenging. Inventory management was chaotic, with overstocked items sitting for years while others were perpetually out of stock. Procurement relied on guesswork, causing project delays. The lack of visibility and real-time data made reporting a time-consuming task and hindered decision-making.

“Life before Acumatica was primitive and anecdotal. No one could definitively say whether something was profitable or how long anything took to build. We relied on best guesses and collective memories.”

ERP Solution

Envent chose to implement Acumatica for its flexibility, multi-currency functionality, and affordable, unlimited user pricing. Unlike other solutions, Acumatica offers deep distribution and manufacturing capabilities, seamless integration with third-party applications, and scalability. The cloud-based ERP platform provides Envent with real-time data access for their employees worldwide, while its modular approach allows them to scale and deploy functionality over time.

“Once we had the opportunity to test drive Acumatica and to see our data in play, I think the accountants were the first to be happy and then it kind of went department by department after that.”

Outcome

Envent quadrupled manufacturing capacity, streamlined operations across global locations and gained real-time data visibility. The company reduced its inventory carrying costs by millions, improved cash flow, and gained accurate cost tracking that increased profitability. Acumatica’s cloud-based platform seamlessly connects its global operations, fostering greater collaboration for the sales team that now has a modern CRM. Thanks to Acumatica, Envent now produces 20 units per 12-week period, rather than 2 previously.

“Acumatica is particularly good for a manufacturer with multiple locations and one needing to use multi-currencies. We’re now able to see data from each branch in real time.”
