Challenges

Ray Allen Manufacturing, a leading manufacturer of canine equipment for military and police departments, ran on a legacy AS400 system that hindered its growth. The outdated technology did not connect to eCommerce platforms, which created duplicate accounts that required manual consolidation. Lacking a manufacturing module, the company had no real insight into production or inventory. Company executives found it difficult to fold recent acquisitions into a single coherent system.

“We were running two different systems, with two different inventories… the legacy system didn’t integrate well with eCommerce software.”

Steve Cates, Former President

The cloud-based platform would allow them to run multiple companies from a single inventory and provide it with a robust foundation for expansion.

“The strength of Acumatica is that it’s an open system that’s flexible and integrates well with other applications. That gives us a lot of control,”
