Challenges

REMCAN, a Canadian multi-faceted, maintenance and construction rail industry leader, ran on legacy Sage and spreadsheets, which required manual work. Processing a 200-page fuel bill took three to five days. Accounting clerks spent 25% of their time on data entry. Field employees entered hours and expenses for 40,000 field ticket reports on paper or spreadsheets, which then were photographed, faxed or emailed, and then typed into two disconnected systems.

“REMCAN had begun to max out the number of authorized Sage users...forcing the team to push accounting, billing, and approvals outside the system to keep up with the rapid growth.”

Jason Thomas, President

REMCAN

ERP Solution

REMCAN chose Acumatica for its cloud-based, API-driven platform that seamlessly integrated with its field ticket reporting application. Its scalability, real-time data access, and cost-effective licensing model would allow them to grow affordably. Because Acumatica is cloud-based, REMCAN didn’t need a large IT team to support the platform, or need to invest in additional hardware.

“Pricing was a factor. Our field ticketing has the same pricing model, which enables us to scale and grow with known costs.”

Andrea Deakove, Project Lead

REMCAN

Outcome

With Acumatica, REMCAN streamlined operations, automated workflows and gained real-time financial visibility. Monthly financial closings now take just five days instead of 15, freeing the accounting teams time to concentrate on other matters. The platform’s open API allowed a seamless connection to its third-party field ticketing application. REMCAN also gained features like AP AI invoice recognition and mobile expense processing, which allow the company to operate more efficiently.

“Acumatica’s unlimited user license structure enables us to scale and have more timely information, and much more opportunity.”
