Case Study: Modus Furniture achieves scalable growth, improved inventory accuracy and eliminated overdue receivables with Aptean Distribution ERP

Modus Furniture International Leverages Aptean Distribution ERP for Growth and Scalability

Modus Furniture International, a 25-year-old designer and importer in the home furnishings industry, was growing rapidly (30–50% annually) but hampered by disparate, non-scalable systems that limited enterprise-wide visibility, complicated offsite warehouse operations, and caused operational inefficiencies in inventory, receivables and chargebacks. The company needed a single, cost-effective ERP to integrate finance and operations, support import complexity, and scale without additional IT overhead.

Modus implemented Aptean Distribution ERP in seven months, using its out-of-the-box functionality to integrate warehouse operations, automate receiving/putaway/barcoding and direct-ship processes, and centralize inventory planning and AR workflows. Results included improved inventory accuracy (from ~80% to 95%), elimination of >90‑day past‑due receivables (from over 25% to zero), reduced chargebacks, better order accuracy and lower total cost of ownership.
