Case Study: Telesis, Inc. achieves real-time visibility, streamlined multi-company operations, and improved inventory control with Acumatica ERP

Diversified Nebraska Firm Telesis, Inc. Runs Six Companies on Acumatica ERP

Telesis, Inc. is a diversified Lincoln, Nebraska holding company running six businesses — including manufacturing (Data Security, Inc.), four restaurants, a brewery, urban farming and real estate — that struggled with an aging Macola system, dozens of spreadsheets and custom apps. The disconnected systems caused heavy manual and duplicate data entry, inaccurate inventory and BOM/MRP, slow reporting, long month-end closes and an expanded finance headcount just to manage transactions.

Working with partner Algorithm, Telesis deployed Acumatica Manufacturing Edition to consolidate ERP, CRM and reporting, automate workflows and integrate third‑party tools. The result: real‑time visibility and dashboards across entities, doubled production at Data Security, a 40% reduction in inventory-on-hand parts, elimination of duplicate restaurant data entry (and a day shaved from restaurant processing), a three-month faster year-end close, and broader self-service access to critical data without per-user licensing limits.
