Cloud Manufacturing and Warehouse Management Software: An Enlightening Success Story

We are proud to share a success story of how Acumatica and Scanco helped a lighting manufacturer improve its internal processes and scale rapidly with the integrated solutions of Acumatica, Scanco, and JAAS Systems.

ABOUT CUSTOMER: Based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, FSC Lighting Inc. is a lighting manufacturer that started as a fluorescent lighting manufacturer and later expanded into LED lighting to offer controls, automation, and energy efficiency.  They offer a variety of lighting solutions for commercial, industrial and public sector projects. This 30-person manufacturing operation serves the local and surrounding community and is proud to employ 10 adults with developmental disabilities and up to 200 offsite from the Pomona Valley Workshop. For decades, the company ran on tribal knowledge and Sage DacEasy, which was never really set up properly. There was a tipping point in the company's growth where it was time to replace the outdated system and invest in new technology. The old system lacked accountability, traceability and couldn’t scale as the company grew. FSC Lighting chose Acumatica for its flexible, scalable, cloud-based ERP and excellent value. They also implemented Scanco and JAAS Systems for a fully integrated solution to scale with them as they continue to grow.

Their solution consists of the following Cloud ERP, Financial, Manufacturing and Warehouse Management components:
