The Challenge
PT. Sumatra Motor Indonesia (SMI) is an authorized distributor for Cleveland Motorcycle brand in Indonesia. They also sell merchandise/accessories, motorcycle parts, and motorcycle maintenance services. SMI was previously using ACCURATE Accounting software, but they were looking to upgrade to a flexible ERP system that would streamline their business processes from procurement to sales and finance/accounting, manage their sizable inventory (including SKU, part number, and VIN number), allow full mobile access for remote approvals, and manage both prospects and existing customer base.
About The Customer
PT. Sumatra Motor Indonesia (SMI) is an authorized distributor for the Cleveland Motorcycle brand in Indonesia. In addition to distributing motorcycles, the company also sells merchandise and accessories, motorcycle parts, and provides motorcycle maintenance services. SMI was previously using ACCURATE Accounting software to manage their business operations. However, as the company grew, they found the need to upgrade to a more flexible and comprehensive ERP system that could better support their business processes, from procurement to sales and finance/accounting. They also needed a system that could effectively manage their sizable inventory, which includes SKU, part number, and VIN number, and provide full mobile access for remote approvals. Furthermore, they wanted a system that could manage both their prospects and existing customer base.
The Solution
SMI initially considered RetailSoft as a potential business solution, but chose Acumatica because SMI’s CEO was hesitant that RetailSoft could streamline their business processes effectively. SMI implemented the Acumatica Financial, Distribution, and Customer Management suites with the help of Acumatica Reseller PT EMS Paramitra, who also assisted with a custom solution for the Surat Pemesanan Kendaraan (SPK) Form. Acumatica was implemented within 3 months. Since using Acumatica, the company has experienced greater efficiency in their approval process.
