Challenges

Telesis, Inc., the parent company of three manufacturing firms, several restaurants, an urban farm, and a real estate company, ran into challenges running its businesses on legacy Macola and spreadsheets. Inventory inaccuracies delayed production. Financial processes were slow and error-prone, requiring double the finance staff. Restaurant operations struggled with manual invoice entries and delayed reporting. Limited data visibility and outdated tools left executives waiting hours for reports.

"Macola was hard to update. You couldn’t change it live or have revisions. That was impossible. So, we had a lot of Excel spreadsheets, and a lot of different tracking."
