Case Study: A Leading Furniture Distributor Achieves Accuracy and Efficiency with Aptean Distribution ERP

Leverages Managed EDI to Drive Accuracy and Efficiency with Aptean Distribution ERP

A family-owned furniture distributor headquartered in the western U.S. expanded from a two-person operation into an industry leader with multiple domestic and overseas warehouses, but struggled with a legacy, paper-heavy ERP, manual Excel reporting, cumbersome warehouse processes, scalability limits, and ever-changing retailer EDI requirements.

They implemented Aptean Distribution ERP with Aptean’s Managed EDI services and ongoing support, enabling automation, cleaner warehouse workflows, and easier compliance updates. Results included dramatically reduced manual work (deposit processing went from a half-day weekly task to about five minutes), more accessible and actionable data, improved efficiency, and the ability to scale operations as the business grows.
