Case Study: Channel Seafoods International achieves accurate, cost-effective inventory management with Acctivate

Channel Seafoods International - Customer Case Study

Channel Seafoods International, an importer of frozen seafood since 1983, faced a shift from drop‑shipping to stocking large inventories and needed an affordable, flexible inventory system that would integrate with their long‑standing QuickBooks setup. After finding industry‑specific seafood systems to be costly and rigid, they selected Acctivate (with Crystal Reports integration) for its price, flexibility, and QuickBooks compatibility to manage a growing, complex business.

Acctivate was implemented to provide custom reporting, inventory‑usage analysis, purchase‑order tracking, lot‑number control for ~300–400 SKUs, user permissions, and credit management. As a result, Channel Seafoods can push a button to pull historical sales and monthly usage for 60–90 day order cycles (typical shipments of 40,000–45,000 lbs), avoid costly over‑ or under‑purchasing, run P&L on completed purchase orders, monitor on‑time shipments, and track average purchasing/selling prices — delivering clearer visibility and more accurate purchasing decisions thanks to Acctivate.
