Case Study: Golden Artist Colors, Inc. achieves 90%+ on-time shipments and 10% higher inventory turns with Sage ERP X3 (Sage ERP)

Golden Artist Colors Paints a Rosey Picture With Sage ERP X3 Process

Golden Artist Colors, Inc., a 140-employee manufacturer of fine-arts acrylic paints based in New Berlin, NY, needed to replace several stand‑alone packages to streamline information flow, improve inventory management, and raise customer service levels. After evaluating multiple vendors, the company selected Sage ERP X3 for its strong MRP/MPS planning, intuitive shop‑floor reporting, and the ability to configure processes to fit Golden’s unique requirements.

Sage ERP X3 was implemented by a cross‑functional 14‑member team using three conference‑room pilots and went live within six months, leveraging the system’s parameterization to add fields, adjust screens, and support freight and marketing allowances without custom coding. As a result, Golden Artist Colors reports on‑time shipments now consistently above 90% (up from 70–85%) and inventory turns rising from 5.4 to 5.96 (more than 10% improvement), while gaining new visibility into lead times, supplier performance, purchasing, and overall productivity thanks to Sage ERP X3.
