In this Acumatica Customer Transformation Story, Lockwood Products Inc. is the inventor of the modular coolant hose known as Loc-Line. As In this Customer Success Story, Lockwood Products grew, it became increasingly challenging to use the two financial systems that ran the company. To better manage daily order processing, gain better inventory management and realize the benefits of a tightly integrated ERP, Lockwood Products adopted Acumatica and found an opportunity to re-envision their entire business. For several years, Chad Lockwood, President and CEO, ran the company using QuickBooks Enterprise for financials and an add-on product called Activate for inventory and order entry. “Our day-to-day activities were becoming very frustrating,” Lockwood says. “Each program contained different data and it was frustrating jumping back and forth between them.”

Acumatica allowed Lockwood to make wide-sweeping changes to the way he runs the company. Rather than simply replacing an existing piece of software or adding some functionality, Lockwood re-evaluated many operational processes and made them more efficient.
