Use Cases	Inventory Management Supply Chain Visibility

Challenge	Azure Malta, a vacation ownership specialist, was using four legacy software applications to run their business. This included Sage 50, Omnis reservation system, and Microsoft Access and Excel. The data had to be manually entered into each system and then imported and exported to other applications to keep everything current. This process was inefficient and time-consuming. In 2013, Azure decided to adopt a digital media marketing strategy and expand into new properties in different countries. However, they realized that their dated technology infrastructure and patchwork of legacy financial systems would not support this expansion. They needed a system that could scale, was easy-to-use, flexible, and could easily integrate with third-party solutions. Read More

Azure is also looking to build a strong digital presence to facilitate online sales and increase customer service. Read More
Solution	Azure decided to implement Acumatica ERP for its flexibility, scalability, and open system. The company chose Acumatica because it was a modern system built to easily connect to third-party applications and could scale easily as the company grew. In addition, Azure could choose between hosting the software itself on-premise or moving to the cloud. The implementation of Acumatica was smooth and well-planned out by Computime Software. The company’s financial year ends in December, and they were live with Acumatica in mid-January 2017. The implementation faced only minor delays when Azure struggled to export data from antiquated systems. Read More Log in to view content

Solution

Azure decided to implement Acumatica ERP for its flexibility, scalability, and open system. The company chose Acumatica because it was a modern system built to easily connect to third-party applications and could scale easily as the company grew.

Impact #3	Azure can also add users without driving up Acumatica’s cost thanks to the company’s affordable, unlimited user pricing model.
