Case Study: BLD Brands, LLC achieves 5-day month-end closes and scalable growth with Acumatica

ERP veteran tackles 12th implementation, Acumatica for franchisee

BLD Brands is a Newport Beach–based restaurant management company operating 143 restaurants across 10 states (Papa John’s, Hardee’s and its own Spaghetti Warehouse brand). Facing rapid growth plans, the company struggled with an unsupported Sage Pro system, eight different charts of accounts, four accounting calendars, multiple POS platforms and siloed systems that required four people to manually enter about 90,000 invoices annually, leaving the business without the scalable financial infrastructure needed for acquisitions.

BLD Brands selected Acumatica ERP for its flexible architecture and unlimited-user pricing and worked with partner Premier Computing on a “crawl, walk, run” implementation. The team consolidated 10 years of GL data into a single chart and calendar, streamlined integrations, and brought core financials live—resulting in consolidated charts/calendars, elimination of data silos, faster month-end closes (down to five days), improved financial visibility and mobility, and plans to remove manual invoice entry with OCR while keeping licensing costs predictable as the company scales.
