With so many balls in the air, new businesses tend to select an entry level accounting software that is going to get them off the ground in the cheapest and simplest way possible. But as those businesses grow, their legacy solution starts bogging down business with redundancies and errors. These businesses reach a tipping point where workarounds and bolt-on solutions are costing them money in the long run. Lengthy month end closings, too much redundant data entry and costly data errors can stop growth in its tracks. With that in mind we would like to share a few stories about organizations that have seen measurable success making the move from entry level accounting software to ERP from Microsoft Dynamics.

ABE’S® Real Bagels was founded in 1996 started as a café in Aukland, New Zealand, serving Chicago-style bagels. That business quickly expanded to become a successful consumer packaged goods business with a staff of 45 full-time workers. After experiencing rapid growth, managing finances on QuickBooks and using other systems to manage production, ABE’S® needed to move away from its disparate legacy solutions and unite each department on a single scalable system. They chose Microsoft Dynamics for greater functionality and flexibility.
“Growing businesses are money intensive, so being able to get the solution we needed immediately and spread the payments in predictable installments freed up capital which we could invest in other areas to drive growth.” –Brent Milburn, Director, ABE’S® Real Bagels. Read More»

Specialty Manufacturer Upgrades from Peachtree to Cloud ERP
With new acquisitions, expansion and the addition of two new manufacturing facilities, Kureha America’s business operations far exceeded what its entry-level Peachtree accounting solution was able to manage. After evaluating Epicor, Oracle and SAP, Kureha chose a cloud Microsoft Dynamics ERP package to establish formal, structured workflows, especially in its manufacturing facilities, and streamline intercompany transactions among its five business units and outside trading partners.
“Over the last five years, our revenues have tripled. We brought a new plant online, and the number of transactions we’re managing has grown at least five-fold. We couldn’t do this on Peachtree anymore; we simply outgrew it. We needed a proper platform and infrastructure to run the business.” — Fred Daniell, President, Kureha America LLC. Read More»
