挑战
Power Storage Solutions 是一家提供直流电源备用系统工程、实施、安装和维护的公司，是从 Interstate Batteries 中分拆出来的。该公司有 9 个月的时间继续使用 Interstate 的财务系统，几乎没有时间选择和实施自己的系统。他们之前实施了 Salesforce.com、Steelbrick CPQ、Concur 和 Workday，相信实施同类最佳的软件将使初创公司效率更高、数据更丰富。然而，他们在连接软件方面遇到了巨大的问题。他们比较了 Oracle NetSuite、QuickBooks、Sage 和 Microsoft Dynamics，但发现它们要么太贵、太麻烦，要么缺乏他们需要的功能。
关于客户
Power Storage Solutions 是一家总部位于德克萨斯州达拉斯的公司，在休斯顿、底特律和佛罗里达设有办事处。该公司由 Derrick Elledge 及其合作伙伴从 Interstate Battery 的电力存储部门收购。Power Storage Solutions 为数据中心、电信、公用事业和石化公司提供直流电源备用系统的工程、实施、安装和维护。该公司拥有 47 名技术人员、10 名销售人员，后台只有 5 名员工。他们之前曾实施过 Salesforce.com、Steelbrick CPQ、Concur 和 Workday，但在连接软件时遇到了问题。
解决方案
Power Storage Solutions 选择 Acumatica ERP 是因为其快速集成能力、易用性和价格实惠。Acumatica 是基于 Web 的，允许从任何地方访问，并为 Power Storage 提供了通过未来客户门户共享数据的能力。该公司在咨询公司 Client's First 的帮助下迅速实施了 Acumatica。他们优先考虑基本会计功能，如应付账款和应收账款、销售订单和项目。这些系统启动并运行后，才添加费用。该公司计划在 Acumatica 中实施现场服务模块，这将使他们能够更好地与技术人员和客户沟通。

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating costs.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.
