Case Study: A-America achieves greater efficiency and real-time visibility with Aptean Distribution ERP

IT Investment Helps Maintain Competitive Advantage

AAmerica, a wood furniture distributor importing from Asia, faced growing competition as its overseas sourcing advantage narrowed and it needed better integration, real-time visibility, and stronger planning tools to manage business performance. The company evaluated multiple ERP vendors and selected Aptean Distribution ERP, known in the case study as Apprise ERP, to support its expanding operations and maintain a competitive edge.

Aptean Distribution ERP implemented a phased rollout covering financials, data migration, and wireless warehouse automation. The solution improved demand forecasting, inventory tracking, and reporting, and made warehouse picking 67% more efficient. With Aptean Distribution ERP, AAmerica also reduced tasks that once took three days to about three minutes, enabling faster, better-informed decisions across the organization.
