Case Study: Saddleback Leather achieves increased sales and $1M+ in IT cost savings with Acumatica

Saddleback Leather Increases Sales, Saves $1 million+ with Acumatica

Saddleback Leather, a Fort Worth–based maker of premium leather goods with manufacturing in Leon, Mexico, was held back by Oracle NetSuite: the platform required a 14-person development team, produced very slow page loads and poor SEO, and couldn’t reliably connect to their storefront or enable basic ecommerce features like reviews and landing pages—costing traffic and sales.

Saddleback replaced NetSuite with Acumatica Commerce Edition (plus BigCommerce connector, ShipStation, NETSTOCK and ChannelAdvisor), going live with a partner in October. The move cut the IT team from 14 to 2, saved about $750,000 annually and reduced tech costs by roughly 33%, while improving inventory accuracy, real-time financial visibility, increasing organic traffic by 45%, delivering 10× the functionality at a third of the cost, and boosting online sales and marketing agility.
