Challenges

When social media influencer Jeffree Star first sold cosmetics to his millions of followers, orders crashed his systems. Realizing others would need similar services, he founded Killer Merch, which offers back-office systems. Both companies operated on QuickBooks, Shopify, and ShipStation but were disconnected, which led to manual overload, poor inventory tracking, and week-long royalty reporting. Explosive order growth overwhelmed operations, resulting in shipping delays, customer dissatisfaction, and frustrated influencers.

Before Acumatica, it took six to 10 days just to ship out the product, which was unacceptable for customers used to Amazon’s speedy delivery and instant gratification.

ERP Solution

To ease order input, they decided every Killer Merch client needed its own Shopify site. They wanted to connect Shopify, ShipStation, and other software into a single platform to handle inventory and provide data insights. Jeffree Star Cosmetics and Killer Merch chose Acumatica for its seamless integration with Shopify, robust distribution and inventory management, and real-time data visibility. Acumatica’s cloud-based platform automated manual tasks, streamlined operations, and provided critical insights.

Acumatica understood what we were trying to do (integrate some 80 Shopify sites to facilitate drops) and how to accomplish it in a world that didn’t really exist.
