”Black Friday weekend, we had over 3,000 Purchase Orders when we came in on Monday morning. In the old days, that would have been a lot of work to process those. With Acumatica, we could release all 3,000 Purchase Orders in maybe an hour to our warehouse and ship all of that product out. We could also ship-confirm everything automatically. That’s a big deal.
