Challenges

Saddleback Leather, known for crafting high-quality leather goods including including bags, backpacks, wallets, and accessories, faced significant challenges with Oracle NetSuite. The platform required 14 developers, suffered from slow load times, poor SEO, and costly customizations. Integration with tools like Magento was impossible, causing lost sales and operational frustrations. Employees relied on spreadsheets to bypass system complexities, leading to inefficiencies, higher costs, and stunted growth.

“NetSuite was proprietary so anything you wanted changed took 10 times longer than necessary to implement.”

Dave Munson, Founder & CEO

ERP Solution

Saddleback Leather chose Acumatica for its open platform, user-friendly interface, and affordable consumption-based pricing. The cloud-based platform seamless integrates with third-party software, offered inventory management, and mobile accessibility. Acumatica provided a modern, scalable ERP system that could be tailored to Saddleback’s needs. Acumatica’s real-time data and tailored dashboards could provide one version of the truth, something the company struggled with previously.

“Everyone kept pointing us to Acumatica because of its pricing, aggressive development, and how user friendly it was.”

Outcome

With Acumatica, Saddleback Leather reduced technology costs by 33% while gaining 10 times the functionality. Organic traffic increased by 45%, inventory accuracy improved, and real-time financial data became readily available. Saddleback Leather seamlessly integrated third-party tools including Native BigCommerce Connector, NETSTOCK, ShipStation, and ChannelAdvisor, which helped streamline operations. Saddleback Leather increased online sales at a lower operating cost, making the company more profitable.

“We’ve significantly lowered our tech costs because Acumatica charges on consumption rather than per-user license. We don’t have to worry about adding users because of the cost.”
