Case Study: Additive-X achieves streamlined, automated operations and cost savings with Acumatica

UK 3D Printer Specialist Additive-X Transforms Business with Acumatica

Additive-X, a UK specialist that transitioned from 30 years of 2-D printer repair to 3-D printers and additive manufacturing (a shift accelerated by the pandemic), was hampered by a legacy UNIX ERP, disconnected CRM and spreadsheets, manual price and order entry, no web-store integration, and the operational risk of aging on-premises hardware. Executives needed a cloud-based, multi-company/multi-currency solution to consolidate processes, reduce manual work, and support rapid business transformation.

Working with Arcus Universe, Additive-X implemented Acumatica Distribution Edition, linking Magento and Ship Theory and centralizing finance, inventory, manufacturing, and field services. The cloud ERP automated reconciliations, customs paperwork and pricing updates, eliminated duplicate order entry, improved inventory visibility and order fill rates, avoided hiring four data-entry roles, reduced audit prep time by 25%, and boosted finance productivity by 10–15%, while providing a scalable, future-proof platform for growth.
