Video transcript: Power Storage Solutions - Success Story of Acumatica Cloud ERP

Power Start Solutions provides engineering, furnish and install, and maintenance of DC power backup systems for data centers, telecommunications, utilities, and petrochemical companies. We're working on areas that are so critical, Telecommunications, which is Internet. Zoom meetings would not happen without the Internet. So here we are, we have these five best in class systems. Anybody would be glad to operate, but integrating those together was a nightmare. And when we found Acumatica, we believed that we found the one solution. So last time I did this, we went from Great Plains to NetSuite with thirty people at half a million dollars. And this time we did ten people at one hundred and twenty thousand dollars I refer to other CRM tools that I have had in the past. It was more of looking through the rearview mirror. The data was in there, but it wasn't real time. When I look at Acromatica and the way that we've got our dashboard and the way we've our pipeline set up, is a very much forward looking approach. When I think of Acumatica, I think of one place, one place to do my job. By having everything in Acumatica, we are able to follow our processes from the opportunity straight through to the sale. The best part about Ecumatica is that I have the ability to look and get information, real time information, whenever I need it, wherever I need it. It's spreadsheet less. In our financial review meetings, we're using Acumatica. I'll put up financials. We'll drill into them if they have some questions because it's all right there. Could you imagine what would happen if during this whole COVID-nineteen thing is if you lost power along with losing your internet and your phone system all at the same time? It would be an absolute disaster. Acumatica freed us up from having to work from an office or from a centralized location. We wanted to make sure all of our technicians were safe. We're trying to track all this through Excel sheets, but I reached out to Acumatica and said, Is there a way we can track these guys electronically through Acumatica? Well, they didn't have anything. And so they created a solution called Acumatica Survey. It is truly prosperous. It is one of the most core foundations that's going to allow us to continue the growth that we're headed down right now. I mean I could not imagine a better partner than Acumatica during this crisis and the way responded to power storage solutions. Sometimes in life you're good and sometimes you're lucky, but sometimes you get good and lucky which we are with Acumatica.

Challenges

Power Storage Solutions, a provider of DC-power backup systems for industries like data centers and utilities, was formed when executives purchased the power storage business of Interstate Battery. When the new unit was rolled out, it used six disconnected systems, including Salesforce, Concur, and Workday. These systems failed to integrate, causing data mismatches, trailing expenses, and operational surprises. The new company had to switch to a new system in nine months.

“Before Acumatica, it was ridiculous trying to get all of our systems to communicate. Operating efficiencies decreased due to data not matching up between systems and inventory.”

Derrick Elledge, VP of Operations & Co-Owner
