ERP Solution

The management team at GCP knew they could identify a better ERP system, so they researched options. “We looked at many of the ERP providers including NetSuite, Intacct, Microsoft, and other major providers.”

Mr. Wallace says that when they discovered Acumatica, “It seemed like it fit everything we would need or might even imagine ourselves doing in the future.”

A key feature that attracted the team to Acumatica was its ability to create reports. “When I came here, the sales people had no comprehensive reports on what customers were buying. We take about 15,000 orders a year over the web and on the phone,” Mr. Wallace says. “There were over 50,000-60,000 line items on those invoices,” he adds. “We weren’t easily able to track customers’ orders on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis.”

The management team at GCP appreciates many features of Acumatica. Unlike GCP’s old system, it is cloud-based and offers easy remote access to all employees. “With Acumatica, GCP can have every
person in the company as a user without it costing anything extra,” Mr. Wallace says, adding, “We love that. We can get data at any time—if we’re on the road on business, working at home, or a thousand miles away on vacation….”

Mr. Wallace, is ecstatic that he can create reports by using Acumatica’s standard reporting systems, generic inquiries, or downloading data to Excel to create custom reports from a variety of sources. “We can easily run reports by product line, get to numbers two or three different ways, and pull them out pretty quickly,” he says. “We know the status of orders on backorder, on hold, and orders in process of shipping.”

Acumatica has also helped GCP turn orders around much faster. Mr. Wallace reports, “Now we’re shipping everything basically the same day the order comes in and we don’t lose track of orders. Before it was often two or three days, or sometimes weeks, just because of our inability to track what was going on with the order.”
