Challenges

Sunshine Lighting, which manufactures and distributes lighting technologies, relied on a legacy ERP and disconnected spreadsheets for more than 20 years. As the legacy product stagnated, employees created workarounds, but manual processes caused delays, errors, and lost orders. Reporting was unreliable and time-consuming, and disconnected systems created operational chaos. Frequent system crashes left the company unable to scale or adapt to modern business demands. 

"With our previous system, there was no mobility, no email system, and no website to tie it to. We were stuck with an application we had to build a lot of band-aids around."

Yisroel Hartman , Chief Operating Officer

ERP Solution

Sunshine Lighting chose Acumatica for its flexible, cloud-based ERP platform that offered open APIs, which allow third party applications to seamlessly connect. Unlike competitors, Acumatica’s licensing model doesn’t charge per user, making it more cost-effective. Its modern framework, ease of use, and quick onboarding impressed the team, while its ability to streamline operations, improve reporting, and eliminate some technology overhead sealed its decision.  

"We started playing with Acumatica and learned it was a modern framework that could be customized."

Outcome

Sunshine Lighting executives now manage the company more efficiently. Acumatica connected disparate systems, brought operational and financial data together, and allowed the company to automate workflows based on how they do business. Employees now work with data that is accurate and accessible from anywhere. They cut $200,000 annually in IT costs, increased inventory accuracy from 40% to over 90%, and halved the time for KPI reporting and month-end closes. 

"Acumatica gave us a heart in our business. Now we solve problems proactively, streamline tasks, and grow confidently with accurate data and flexible tools."
