Case Study: BioBased Technologies achieves streamlined inventory control and manufacturing efficiency with Acctivate

BioBased Technologies - Customer Case Study

BioBased Technologies, a maker of soybean‑based Agrol® and related eco‑friendly products like BioBased Insulation® and Soy Seal®, was struggling with manual, monthly inventory processes and a business system that was too complex for their small team. They had been managing inventory in Excel and using Microsoft Dynamics and QuickBooks for other functions, but needed a simpler, lot‑based manufacturing and inventory solution with minimal IT overhead. They selected Acctivate, including its Variable Build / Batch Manufacturing module, to address those challenges.

Acctivate’s solution gave BioBased Technologies lot‑level assemblies, immediate inventory updates, built‑in cost rollups (cost per pound/set), and seamless integration with QuickBooks — all configured and run by existing staff without a full‑time IT person. As a result, BioBased Technologies moved from monthly, error‑prone counts to daily up‑to‑date inventory, greatly improved efficiency, purchasing and inventory planning, reduced human error, and reported a dramatic time‑savings and operational transformation after implementing Acctivate.
