Challenges

Cottingham Ltd., an importer and representative of alcohol brands in Taiwan and China, faced challenges with outdated ERP systems, including Sage Accpac. When the company merged with Carlsberg, the company required a cloud-based ERP system compatible with Apple’s operating system. Executives also wanted to reduce IT infrastructure maintenance after outsourcing IT services.

“When Cottingham decided to run their business using Apple’s Operating System instead of Microsoft Windows, this drove their search for a cloud ERP system.”

Lumina Technology Co., Ltd.

ERP Solution

Cottingham Ltd. selected Acumatica for its mobile access, compatibility with Mac Safari operating system, and affordability. The decision was influenced by the need for a cloud-based ERP system that eliminated reliance on Windows servers and reduced IT infrastructure requirements.

“An ERP accessible from Mac Safari—anytime, anywhere—was our primary requirement.”

Outcome

With Acumatica, Cottingham Ltd. gained mobile access, achieved significant cost savings, and gained the ability to stay updated with the latest software versions. The company improved online analytics, and gained ease of use. The accounting and logistics staff found the system intuitive, and they are exploring further integration with online shopping carts to expand their operations.

“The licensing model not only saves hardware installation and maintenance costs, but also the huge one-time license capital expense investment.”
