Case Studies
S&S Worldwide
S&S modernized with NetSuite by Appficiency, replacing Encompix and QuickBase to unify systems and streamline operations in amusement ride design and fabrication.
Challenges
Legacy Systems Overview
Before transitioning to NetSuite, S&S relied on Encompix for ERP functionality and QuickBase for additional support. However, these legacy systems proved to be inefficient and limited in meeting the growing needs of the business.
Limitations of On-Premise Encompix
As an on-premise solution, Encompix offered restricted features and lacked remote accessibility, which became increasingly problematic in a modern, flexible work environment.
Disconnected Systems and Redundant Processes
The lack of integration between Encompix and QuickBase led to redundant data entry and operational inefficiencies. This disconnect prevented seamless workflow and resulted in wasted time and resources.
Reporting Challenges
Generating meaningful reports from Encompix was a cumbersome and time-consuming process. QuickBase was over-leveraged to compensate for these limitations, yet still failed to deliver a streamlined solution.
A Patchwork System
With both systems used in tandem, S&S faced a patchwork of tools that lacked cohesion and efficiency. The limitations of Encompix and over-reliance on QuickBase highlighted the need for a comprehensive ERP solution, ultimately leading to the decision to adopt NetSuite.
ERP Solution
Overview
In their quest for a modern, integrated ERP solution, S&S evaluated multiple systems and ultimately chose NetSuite for its flexibility and robust functionality. The company partnered with Appficiency, a NetSuite Alliance Partner, to oversee the implementation. This collaboration aimed to consolidate S&S’s operations into a single, cohesive system, eliminating the inefficiencies caused by running multiple disparate systems.
Unified System and Streamlined Operations
By transitioning to NetSuite, S&S consolidated disparate systems into one, leading to improved workflow efficiency, fewer data entry errors, and substantial cost savings.
Enhanced Visibility for Better Decisions
NetSuite’s real-time data access provided S&S with the visibility needed for faster, more accurate decision-making, driving better overall business performance.
Tailored Integrations
Custom features, including a quality management module and CAD link integration, aligned NetSuite’s capabilities with S&S’s unique operational needs, further optimizing efficiency.
Outcome
The transition from Encompix to NetSuite, with the help of Appficiency, has significantly enhanced S&S’s operational efficiency and positioned the company for future growth. The comprehensive ERP solution provided by NetSuite has streamlined their operations and established a robust foundation for continued advancements in the amusement ride manufacturing industry.
