Challenges

Iowa-based Mid-States Comapanies grew organically for two decades using QuickBooks, JobBOSS, and spreadsheets to run the company, which had grown into 12 different entities. Trying to run manufacturing on JobBOSS, a scheduling program, became unwieldy and inefficient. Executives had problems tracking bids residing on employee computers, responding to opportunities in a timely fashion, and understanding where existing projects stood.

"We didn’t have any way to track where each bid or project was at. It was very people-based, not process-based. "

Andrew Pistorius, CFO

ERP Solutions

Mid-States chose Acumatica for its affordability, flexibility, and robust cloud-based construction platform. Unlike competitors, Acumatica offered transaction-based pricing, avoiding per-user licensing fees. Its comprehensive features, including job costing, inventory management, and intercompany financial consolidation, aligned perfectly with Mid-States’ needs. The platform’s customization capabilities and cross-industry functionality options provided a scalable solution that would allow the company to streamline 12 operations, improve data visibility, and support its rapid growth.

"Utilizing functionality from other industry editions enables us to do stuff that we wouldn’t have been able to if we had gone only with the Construction Edition."
