Video transcript: Bob Davis Sales Success Story

Bob Davis Sales provides sales, distribution, technical support of products used in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. Bob Davis Sales has three locations in Shreveport, Louisiana and Kilbour, Texas and Cleburn, Texas. We have thirteen employees across those three locations. When we were looking for a new ERP, we wanted something geared towards small to medium sized. Some of the other ERP systems we looked at were Intact, SAP, Sage, and then it came down to NetSuite and Acumatica. What sealed the deal for us in choosing Acumatica was two things. One was they're offering unlimited user licenses. You know that the cost of Acumatica isn't going to grow exponentially if your company grows. And the second thing was the customer service that we knew we would get and that we have gotten since the implementation. It's just been a very easy transition. The product's been easy to learn and we've already seen all kinds of benefits from efficiencies in our inventory, our invoicing, all across the different lines of our business. The amount of time it's taken us to generate our weekly number of invoices has gone from twenty five or thirty hours down to one hour. We can get answers much faster than we were ever able to get in our previous system and that goes a long way in creating a happy customer base. It's enabled us to streamline our manpower, the efficiencies it brings with operating on one system instead of three different systems that didn't talk to each other. So AIM Solutions stood out to us from the very beginning. They came and they showed up in person and that really went a long way knowing that any problem we would have that A) we knew the people that we were dealing with, we had relationships with them, and that they understood our business here. I would recommend Acumatica. I have recommended Acumatica. Just the unlimited user licenses and the customer service you get alone is well worth it.

Challenges

Bob Davis Sales, a distributor for oil and gas infrastructure products, faced inefficiencies with its legacy Sage systems. It had a Sage instance at each of its three locations. The siloed systems didn’t communicate, leading to time-consuming data entry processes. The company struggled with manual invoicing, inconsistent inventory tracking, and outdated processes, which became overwhelming as the industry rebounded.

“Our system was basically computerized ticket writing. What we did before Acumatica was terribly inefficient.”

ERP Solution

Bob Davis Sales chose Acumatica for its suitability for small to medium-sized businesses, unlimited user pricing structure, and high-touch consulting services from its implementation partner. The decision was influenced by Acumatica partner AIM Solutions’ quick response and strong relationship-building, which instilled confidence in AIM’s ability to support the company’s needs.

“Acumatica’s unlimited pricing structure was a big factor in our decision.”
