Case Study: Durum USA achieves accurate inventory control, traceability, and streamlined purchasing with Acctivate

Durum USA - Customer Case Study

Durum USA, a U.S.-based supplier of high-end specialty welding and hardfacing wires and powders and the only U.S. licensed distributor of Durum Germany, struggled to track inventory as it grew—relying on QuickBooks plus Excel spreadsheets and lacking purchase order controls or an audit trail. Their CPA recommended Acctivate, and Durum implemented Acctivate’s inventory management solution to replace their ad hoc processes and improve accuracy and traceability.

Acctivate provided purchase management, lot number control, customer notes, and a tighter QuickBooks sync, giving Durum a verifiable audit trail and the ability to trace any lot from receipt to shipment. As Controller Ben West noted, “Acctivate is more accurate, and much easier to sync with QuickBooks and we have an audit trail to help keep up with our inventory,” enabling clear PO/AP matching, faster defect tracking by lot number, and overall more reliable inventory and purchasing operations.
