Case Study: Pick-a-Paint achieves faster real-time reporting and better decision-making with Phocas

Retailer paints a new data-driven future by blending Kerridge K8 with Phocas

Pick-a-Paint, a South African paint retailer with three branches, needed faster access to real-time data to improve decision-making, customer service, and competitive performance. After migrating to ERP One, the business faced reporting bottlenecks because senior staff had to manually pull data, and Pick-a-Paint turned to Phocas for easier analytics and financial reporting.

Phocas implemented an off-the-shelf API integration with ERP One, giving Pick-a-Paint Phocas Analytics and Financial Statements with user-friendly dashboards and automated reporting. The result was reporting that once took hours now takes minutes, freeing senior management from 2–4 hours of nightly report prep, improving decision speed, supporting better stock and marketing decisions, and even helping Pick-a-Paint close a poorly performing branch and reallocate resources more effectively.
