Dissatisfied with A Legacy ERP, Two Raubex Construction Firms Quickly Deploy Acumatica Construction

Video transcript: Raubex Success Story

We're a small scale surface mining company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Robix Group, and we're full in our materials division. Robix is supplying aggregates to the construction industry road industry where we're supplying our own roads with aggregates. TOWZZAS is a bitumen supply company. They supply bitumen to the road construction guys. Before Acumatica was a very time consuming, labor intensive period in our lives. So we were on Sage X3. We had another two systems supporting X3 just so that we can get our accounting done. Visibility was an issue. Nobody knew really what was going on. From where I'm sitting at a desk running an ERP system, and I am the only person able to run the system, interpret the system, generate reports, and provide information to my users. That was a total disaster. Why Acumatica? Ha. Yes. Why Acumatica indeed? Transparency, openness, visibility, usability. Acumatica has made my job a lot easier with regards to the transparency into the business. The beauty of Acumatica is that we can further improve our business processes without costly customizations like we were used to in our previous system. As I'm sitting here, I'm a very relieved man because we've implemented Acumatica, the new cloud ERP system, within time and within budget. And we've got the pioneer of all our people, and they're getting the information from the system. Part of the success story is having a very competent business partner. Astraea Technology that was involved in the whole process can help us quite a lot. Why Acumatica is a good product for the construction industry is it's got a very strong project accounting functionality. But in addition to that, it also allows the construction teams out on-site to, through the mobile app, pass data back into the head office when there's a whirl from a customers where they invest in training upfront, and there's lots of tools from Acumatica's side to empower the users. And the synergy and the working together with the teams with one goal in mind, it is possible to deliver ERP project in a very short space of time. The implementation of Acumatica was seamless from our finance team and the team at Australia. We were on time, on deadline, on cost with no hiccups. We one day we were on a stage, and the next day we were in Acumatica, which is sort of unheard of and a major benefit for our company and the robotics group as a whole. The system allows you to very quickly, easily, and intuitive get your reports, get your information, and get the information out of that system very quickly. Acumatica has been a game changer. It's helped us quite a lot, and we can't wait to to see what the future holds. Looking back, it was one of the best and easiest decisions we've made. Only took us five months to implement and we're already reaping the rewards.
