Case Study: Automated Drive Systems achieves full back-office visibility and 65% faster order entry with Accounting Seed

Achieving Full Back Office Visibility One PO at a Time

Automated Drive Systems, a provider of industrial automation and process control solutions spun out from Northwest Electric, relied on Salesforce for customer management but used ACS Master for accounting and project tasks. That setup required a VPN and frequent manual re-entry of financial data, creating double-entry work and limited visibility across sales and back-office processes.

They implemented Accounting Seed for native Salesforce accounting, projects, and order management, eliminating the third-party connection and manual data entry. The change delivered full customer lifecycle visibility and easier reporting, plus major efficiency gains: 65% faster order entry, a 95% reduction in PO/workflow follow-ups, and much less time spent confirming supplier delivery status.
