Challenges
In essence, the CCAQ was facing one overarching challenge—their current ACCEO Acomba accounting solution was no longer meeting their business requirements.
Steady growth and an expanded service offering had led the CCAQ to seek out a solution that would improve administrative processes, allowing for increased productivity across the organization.
To gain efficiency in their financial processes, the organization needed to modernize their financial system and acquire an integrated system that delivered industry-focused business functionality, including these key features:
Advanced financial structure (multicompany management)
Automated no value added tasks
Synchronized sales and financial data to eliminate redundant data entry
Solution
After evaluating several financial management software packages currently on the market, these are the key considerations that established ACCEO and the Acumatica ERP platform as the top solution:
Cloud-based Acumatica ERP offers a mobile app and can scale with the business as it continues to grow
Centralized multicompany management delivered through a powerful and versatile financial management suite
Unlimited users at no additional charge
Reduced paper usage with the Acumatica ERP purchase invoice approval and disbursement authorization module
Results
With the Acumatica ERP solution, the CCAQ has now acquired the tools and agility to support its continued growth:
Increased visibility over financial data
Swift customer response using readily available insights
Accelerated month-end and year-end closing process
Secure purchase invoice approval processes integrated within Acumatica
Streamlined intercompany operations
Individual purchase invoice integration
« One year later, we are very satisfied with the return on investment delivered by the Acumatica ERP solution (time savings, cost reductions, and enhanced control). » - Stéphane Lirette CPA, CA - Vice President Finance, CCAQ
