Learn how a packaging manufacturer and distributor streamlined their business with an ERP for distribution and a proven partner.

Choosing the right ERP system can make a difference in your company’s success. Today, we highlight a packaging manufacturer and distributor and share why Korpack is confident they have found the right partner to support them and their ERP for distribution as their business continues to grow.

Background

Korpack is a full-service provider of packaging supplies based in Bloomingdale, Illinois. They started looking for the right ERP system shortly after launching in 2014. Korkpack knew they needed a system that would grow with them to maximize efficiency and drive the business forward because they are in a fast-paced, high-volume industry. 

Nick Novy, President & Founder of Korpack, had been through the process of choosing an ERP System before and had learned from experience that it wasn’t a small decision to make. “I came from another company where I feel like we chose the wrong ERP system. It actually slowed us down rather than sped us up. So, I was pretty adamant on picking the right platform for my new company.”

Benefit 1: Customization

Novy found that the ERP's being assessed were not only expensive but offered little customization. Others weren’t sophisticated enough to handle the level of data analysis that Korpack employees would need to grow and remain agile the way they wanted.

The customizations immediately saved Korpack time and increased revenue, which contributed directly to the bottom line. “One of the customizations we’ve actually implemented with NexVue was streamlining how we do our quoting. We were losing out on a lot of opportunities because that process would take so long. What used to take hours or days can now be done in less than an hour,” said Patrick Madison, Korpack's CFO.

Benefit 2: Competitive Advantage

Korpack now has a powerful, centralized data system that provides real-time insight into its operations. It's now much easier to make the right decision for the right challenge at exactly the right time. Now that they have the ability to both analyze and act on the massive amounts of data they are generating every day, they have a distinct competitive advantage.

Madison said he feels strongly about the impact Acumatica has had on the company. He remarks, “The three keys to Korpack’s success are Korpack’s employees, vendor partners, and Acumatica.”

Benefit 3: A Proven Partner

Choosing the right ERP system can make a difference in a company’s success, but Korpack's team stated it also takes the right partner. After finding the system they had been looking for, Korpack needed a partner to implement the system and develop the customizations. After choosing an initial partner that didn’t meet their expectations, Korkpack teamed up with NexVue. Korpack is confident they have found the right partner to support them as their business continues to grow.

“Dan and his team at NexVue have been extremely supportive of the ideas and the customizations that we’ve brought to them…I definitely recommend Acumatica to anybody looking for an ERP System and I don’t think a lot of the other software platforms can give you that type of flexibility without needing a whole IT department.”
