Case Study: Arabel achieves streamlined inventory and real-time visibility with Acctivate

Arabel - Customer Case Study

Arabel, a long-standing distributor of window‑treatment components, was running a 25‑year‑old, non‑user‑friendly system with no easy access to customer history, pricing or QuickBooks integration. To modernize inventory, sales and accounting workflows they selected Acctivate’s inventory and business‑management software to replace their legacy system and provide QuickBooks compatibility.

Acctivate implemented a real‑time SQL database with integrated reporting, UPS shipping, kitting, Excel connectivity and Crystal Reports, plus easy order entry and AR controls. The result: improved companywide visibility and decision support, shipping times sped up more than 50%, purchase‑order and order‑entry processes became much faster, and Arabel reports sales growth of roughly 10–20% since deployment — leadership even describes the change as nearly a “100% improvement.”
