Case Study: Assured Access Technology, Inc. achieves rapid sales growth and streamlined manufacturing with Expandable Software ERP (integrated MRP)

Low-Cost ERP With Integrated MRP Helps Startup's Sales to Soar

Assured Access Technology, Inc., a Milpitas, CA networking startup that supplies multi-service access concentrators to ISPs, needed a low-cost, fast-to-deploy ERP with integrated MRP, inventory, order entry and financials to manage rapidly depreciating technology inventory and support rapid growth with minimal staff and budget. After ruling out high-end systems like SAP and Oracle for cost and lead-time reasons, Assured Access chose an ERP from Expandable Software that also integrates with its Agile PDM system.

Expandable Software provided a turnkey, PC-based ERP with built-in MRP, inventory, purchasing and financials that was implemented in a few weeks without consultants. The integrated solution eliminated manual BOM entry, enabled real-time inventory, cost and cash-flow reporting, kept stock levels lean without causing stock-outs, and ran with minimal administration — supporting Assured Access’s ability to double sales every quarter and operate with just a handful of manufacturing staff. Expandable Software’s trainers and out-of-the-box functionality avoided costly customization and accelerated the company’s growth.
