Using Acumatica we were ableto reduce our inventory by over20% across multiple locations.This allowed us to eliminate anentire warehouse and serve ourcustomers better.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Kido is the leading retailer of baby accessories and furniture in Quebec. Customers can

select from thousands of SKUs from hundreds of suppliers or place a special order to get a

specific item.

Managing so many SKUs and custom orders across multiple locations created inventory

management challenges that could not be handled by their existing software. Kido set

out to replace QuickBooks and several internally developed systems with a single unified

solution that could interface with their existing retail management system (RMS) from

Microsoft and a web store powered by NitroSell.

 WHY ACUMATICA?

Kido researched 25 replacement solutions over a one-year period. Point of sale-based

solutions did not include critical back office operations for special orders, shipments,

and inventory management. Accounting solutions lacked integration and customization

features. Acumatica delivered a single integrated solution that included:

 • Integrated financials, inventory, purchasing, sales orders, CRM, and more

 • Growth-based pricing and licensing

 • Cloud benefits with on-premise control

 • Ability to customize and access source code
