Challenges

Raumix and Tosas, independently operated subsidiaries of Raubex, struggled for years to implement a legacy ERP system that was over budget, complex, and poorly configured. It required costly consultants for minor changes, lacked integration, and disrupted operations during updates. It also didn’t support field services, remote access, and equipment tracking. Ultimately, the companies abandoned the system due to inefficiency, high cost, and the inability to meet their operational needs.

The prior implementations took two or three years longer, and six to ten times the original cost that was budgeted for the implementation.

Solution

After abandoning a costly ineffective legacy ERP, Raumix and Tosas implemented Acumatica Construction Edition in five months. Acumatica provided a user-friendly, cloud-based platform tailored to their construction needs, enabling real-time data access, streamlined workflows, and improved inventory and asset management. With help from Astraia Technology, the companies adopted a phased rollout that minimized disruption and eliminated need for expensive consultants, while integrating critical systems like weighbridge software and procurement tools.

After three months of planning, it only took us two months to implement Acumatica. That was quite impressive.

Outcome

With Acumatica Construction Edition, Raumix and Tosas gained a unified, cloud-based ERP tailored to their needs. The system eliminated paper-based processes, accelerated order creation from hours to minutes, and provided a single source of truth across departments. It also integrated fixed asset capabilities and replaced siloed applications, significantly boosting productivity and decision-making speed.

You do not need a lot of people or consultants with years of experience joined to your hip just to get the most basic of things running. That is where the system design itself shines.
