Case Study: American Christmas streamlines seasonal operations with aACE Software

aACE Spreads Holiday Cheer Year-Round with Customized Solution for American Christmas

American Christmas is a B2B holiday decorating company that had outgrown a patchwork of disconnected tools, including FileMaker Pro, Excel, and QuickBooks. With a seasonal business and a year-long sales cycle, the team spent about two weeks each year rebuilding and cleaning up its database, and year-over-year reporting could take three people almost a week. They needed a system that could handle their operations and still fit their customized workflows.

aACE Software provided aACE as a single business management solution for American Christmas, replacing the manual database work and disconnected reporting process. The system enabled customized proposals, better logging and transaction tracking, and reporting across multiple years in minutes. American Christmas also reduced internal follow-ups by 24 to 36 hours per week, a greater than 50% reduction, giving the team three to four additional days of productive work time each week.
