Challenges

BLD Brands, a restaurant management company, faced significant challenges before deploying Acumatica. Operating on an unsupported version of Sage Pro, they managed eight charts of accounts, four accounting calendars, and other siloed systems. Manual entry of 90,000 invoices annually and reliance on in-house developers for custom applications further complicated operations.

“Before Acumatica, we realized we just didn’t have the infrastructure that would allow us to reasonably absorb acquisitions.”

Andrew Gale, Former CEO/CFO

ERP Solution

BLD Brands selected Acumatica for its ease of use, flexible architecture, and unlimited user pricing. Its in-house development team appreciated Acumatica’s seamless integration capabilities, which were essential for accommodating operational changes and third-party solutions.

“Our in-house development team felt Acumatica could easily integrate with what we’re using already, a feeling they didn’t get with the other products.”

Outcome

With Acumatica, BLD Brands closed month-end in just five days, eliminated manual invoice entry, and improved financial visibility. Employees embraced the system’s ease of use, and the company is now positioned for scalable growth.

“My team loves the Acumatica navigation process. We can scan all of our invoices so that now our operators in the field can drill down and actually pull up the underlying invoice data.”
