Main Functionalities
Here’s how NexTec Group and Acumatica Cloud ERP helped solve Benoit’s challenges.
Benoit’s COO had worked with NexTec Group previously and invited them to help identify the ERP system best suited to Benoit’s needs. “After learning our business and reviewing our processes, NexTec recommended Acumatica as the best ERP for us,” says Kevin Dupre, Manager of Production and Process Strategy at Benoit.
“The product’s ease of use, hosted deployment model and broad-based functionality makes Acumatica a good fit,” adds Mike Stevens, Director of Production and Processing Strategy.
In a testament to the versatility of Acumatica and the skillset of NexTec’s consulting team, NexTec accomplished Benoit’s entire implementation remotely. “We were right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, but NexTec brought Acumatica live without any delays or downtime,” says Dupre.
Benoit manufacturers threaded connectors and flow-control tools used in the oil and gas industry. Many products are made to stock and others are custom made to order. The manufacturing capabilities in Acumatica support all aspects of Benoit’s operations.
“We typically have over 100 production orders active at any time,” explains Dupre. “Using Acumatica, we now have visibility into where each order is in the manufacturing process. We’re also capturing labor costs associated with each step, which gives us accurate costing data for each and every order.”
“Previously we were calculating the cost of each order manually, after the fact. With Acumatica, we’re out in front of the process, and having that data helps us make better pricing decisions too,” says Stevens.
Benoit isn’t the only one to notice the new efficiencies. “One of our suppliers has been so impressed by what we’ve been able to achieve with Acumatica that they are considering implementing it too,” notes Stevens.
