Case Study: Once Upon a Sheep Yarn Shop achieves accurate financials and reliable nonprofit revenue with Aquilon Software

Yarn Shop Supports a Worthy Cause with Aquilon Financials

Once Upon A Sheep, a volunteer-run yarn shop whose profits support Salvation Army Camps, struggled with unreliable financial statements, unclear cost-of-goods, unknown bestsellers, and no clear view of whether the store was breaking even. Bookkeeper Heather Murray selected AQUILON and its Aquilon ERP/Financials (including Accounts Payable capabilities) to provide a comprehensive financial package and address inventory, sales and reconciliation gaps.

AQUILON implemented ERP financials that delivered accurate cost-of-sales, inventory control, sales analysis to identify profitable and non-performing items, easy bank reconciliation, and timely supplier payments. As a result Heather can now confidently manage the retail operation to generate revenue for the nonprofit—supporting camps attended by more than 4,500 children—produce reliable month- and year-end statements, and plans further POS integration to gain additional efficiency.
