Challenges

Bluefin Collectibles distributes products in the U.S. for Bandai Tamashii Nations, Hobby and Shokugan. They struggled with QuickBooks, which couldn’t support its rapid growth. Managing a vast product line, expanding customer base, and complex pre-order processes became overwhelming. They lacked real-time insights into financial and operational data, leading to inefficiencies and delayed decision-making.

“Before Acumatica, our customers would ask when their order is coming and we couldn’t be able to tell them even though some of the information was in our previous system.”

Chris Sakamoto, Chief Financial Officer

ERP Solution

Bluefin Collectibles chose Acumatica over other ERP systems because of Acumatica’s cost-effective unlimited user licensing, which supported its growing team. Executives lso liked that Acumatica offered cloud hosting options, and an extensive library of integrations tailored to its unique business needs. Acumatica’s ability to handle pre-orders and distribution sealed the choice.

“We liked that we could have unlimited users with Acumatica and there are no per-seat licensing costs, so we could add as many users as we need.”
