Case Study: Premier 1 Supplies achieves real-time inventory visibility and faster reporting with Acumatica

E-tailer Modernizes & Thrives with Help from Acumatica Cloud ERP

Premier 1 Supplies, a family-run agriculture and livestock e-tailer in Washington, Iowa, needed to replace its aging Sage MAS500 ERP after payment processors required a PCI-compliant payment solution. The company searched for a modern cloud ERP that could support high-volume B2C operations and integrate with its website; after evaluating options including Oracle NetSuite, CEO Ben Rothe selected Acumatica for its out-of-the-box functionality and open API.

Using Acumatica Distribution Edition (Advanced Financials, Order Management, Inventory Control) and partner Crestwood Associates for implementation, Premier 1 connected real-time inventory and customer data to its website and built custom workflows internally. The result was faster, smoother operations: company-wide data access, improved customer service, increased sales opportunities, three-day faster reporting, lower on-prem tech costs, avoided expensive external customizations, and a scalable platform for growth.
