    Implementation Delays & Budget Overruns

    The legacy ERP rollout dragged on for over three years and cost 6–10 times the original budget. Despite extensive efforts, both companies eventually abandoned the system due to poor results.

    Costly Customization & Consultant Dependence

    Minor adjustments required expensive consultants, and the ERP demanded heavy customization. Frequent updates disrupted operations, leading to lost business and mounting frustration.

    Poor System Configuration & Data Access

    Consultants configured both companies under a single folder, causing data retrieval issues. The ERP’s fragmented structure—with bolted-on modules—made integration and usability a major challenge.

    Siloed Modules & Lack of Seamless Functionality

    Add-in modules didn’t work together smoothly. The ERP was built from disparate systems, making it difficult to achieve cohesive workflows across departments.

    Misalignment Between Business Needs & Setup

    Consultants lacked deep understanding of the companies’ operations, leading to setups based on generic best practices rather than tailored solutions. This created a communication gap and misaligned configurations.

    Missing Operational Capabilities

    The ERP lacked essential features like field services, remote access, equipment tracking, and integration with weighbridge software. Raumix and Tosas needed tools for procurement and inventory management that the system couldn’t support.

  • Solution

    Raumix and Tosas selected Acumatica Cloud ERP for its ease of use, flexible licensing, and built-in inventory and credit management. Its open API enabled seamless integration with weighbridge software, while intuitive design minimized the need for costly consultants. Partnering with Astraia, the companies completed a smooth, phased implementation in just two months—unlocking operational efficiency and freeing up time for strategic financial work.

  • Outcome

    Operational Efficiency & Time Savings

    • Mobile access and intuitive workflows drastically reduced time spent on tasks like order creation and supplier audits.
    • Employees no longer rely on paper-based processes, saving hours across job sites and admin teams.
    • Acumatica’s Excel-like interface allows instant data exports—what once took days now takes minutes.

     

    Empowered Teams & Self-Service Reporting

    • Staff can generate reports independently, freeing leadership from manual data tasks.
    • Decision-makers on-site now access real-time data, enabling faster, smarter choices.
    • Accountability has improved, with employees owning their workflows and reporting.

     

    Financial Visibility & Control

    • Integrated inventory and cost tracking provide clear insight into true expenses and stock levels.
    • Full traceability allows users to follow transactions from request to bank and back.
    • The built-in fixed asset module replaced costly external tracking, simplifying asset management.

     

    Scalability & Future-Ready Infrastructure

    • Acumatica’s open API enabled seamless integration with weighbridge and reporting tools.
    • The platform’s modular design and transparent roadmap support long-term growth.
    • Other Raubex entities are now adopting Acumatica, validating its scalability and impact.

    "Acumatica's ability to push and pull data has been phenomenal." Partnering with Premier Tech Partners, LVT connected its disconnected financial and manufacturing systems into one unified platform, slashed financial close time from 15 days to just 5, and scaled from 75 to over 230 employees — all without hiring additional accounting staff.

    "We can now better track a product as it goes through the entire process. Building formulas and handling our bills of materials is a lot better than doing it with Excel. Now we do it once and it's right." With Premier Tech Partners guiding the implementation, Trace Minerals grew revenue 6-fold, saw sales surge 50% in 2023, and replaced paper-based quality workflows with an integrated system spanning manufacturing, testing, and compliance.
