Helping Midmarket Players Attain the ERP Advantage

Midmarket manufacturers and companies across industries like distribution, construction, industrial supply, and food and beverage, often struggle to streamline their various business workflows, especially as their business diversifies with new products and service offerings. Limitations in their legacy business systems force them to bolt on multiple applications to manage production scheduling, electronic commerce, warehouse operations, field services, and other key operations. This often leads to unnecessary licensing costs and costly customizations that are difficult to manage and expensive to maintain. Not to mention many of their siloed systems and workflows that entail manual data entry and paper-based processes that can be time-consuming and prone to errors. There can also be an overall delay in information retrieval and conveyance, which can hamper productivity. For such companies, an ERP solution is a significant relief but has its fair share of challenges. Implementing and customizing ERP solutions can be bulky and expensive for many midmarket players. Not to mention that choosing the right ERP solution that best fits their needs is no cakewalk, especially when their businesses are not directly in relation to enterprise IT and technology.

Blaze IT is addressing ERP-related shortcomings and challenges facing midmarket players by leveraging the soughtafter cloud-based Acumatica ERP solution. “When we began our search for an effective ERP solution, we looked a lot of ERP systems. All of our management team comes from an ERP background, and we landed on the Acumatica solution. It is the right tool for us as business consultants and it also supports remote workforce by providing flexibility to solve problems in creative and efficient ways,” mentions David Dozer, President, Blaze IT.

We help organizations to identify pain points and inefficiencies in their business processes, and then implement the Acumatica tool to save them time and money

Blaze IT enables companies to tap into the prowess of Acumatica in the most cost-effective, efficient, and best-fit manner. “We help organizations to identify pain points and inefficiencies in their business processes, and then implement the Acumatica tool to save them time and money. By doing so, we strive to get the most, not just out of their software, but out of their people and processes," mentions Dozer. Blaze IT follows a series of defined processes that generally begin with a discovery process where the company focuses on understanding the people and processes of the client. After this, the team at Blaze IT leverages its expertise in software solutions that help the clients through their ERP-induced digital transformation journey. As an extension to its clients, the company helps them deliver ROI on their investments and get the most out of their processes and people. By combing its software and service offerings capabilities, the company has helped a legion of clients across various industry verticals.

Dozer recalls an instance where one of Blaze IT's clients struggled to manage work on its manufacturing side using an offline model that relied on Excel sheets to run its scheduling operations. The client was not getting clear visibility of the production order and physically visited the operational areas to seek the required information about any aspect of the manufacturing process. To this end, Blaze IT helped the client to successfully transition to an online system and map all the work together in one centralized system. This saved the client from managing disparate systems, and now they could access all the information in one place. This single system solution gave clients the required visibility over their operations.

Blaze IT will focus on helping customers transition away from legacy ERP systems to modern cloud-based solutions to continue scripting many more success stories like the above. As the company plans for expansion, it will hire new resources and is also looking to expand into other verticals and increase its client base. The future looks bright for Blaze IT.
