FSC Lighting Inc. began as a fluorescent lighting manufacturer and later expanded to include LED lighting with an emphasis on controls, automation, and energy efficiency. Fsc Lighting used an outdated system that did not meet their need for growth and did not give them access to better inventory management and integration with third-party solutions.

Chad Treadwell, Vice President of Operations, turned to Acumatica for his company’s solution. “We needed something very flexible, in the cloud, and overall, something that was a good value for us. We found that in Acumatica,” says Treadwell.Chad Treadwell, Vice President of Operations, turned to Acumatica for his company’s solution. “We needed something very flexible, in the cloud, and overall, something that was a good value for us. We found that in Acumatica,” says Treadwell.

Treadwell deployed Acumatica in his remote contract warehouse in Chicago and at the Pomona Valley Workshop’s facilities, which allowed him to drop ship from either location. Acumatica’s ability to handle multiple entities also allowed FSC to use the software with its joint venture partner in Taiwan.

ohn Watkins, CEO, has enjoyed Acumatica’s mobility in his business travels. “The iPhone app has been super beneficial because I am in the building maybe 20% of the time. I’m able to go through all my approvals from POs coming inbound to our POs going outbound and approve all those on-the-fly.”

“Overall, FSC Lighting is incredibly pleased with all aspects of Acumatica. It’s an affordable solution with an unlimited user base,” Treadwell says. “We wanted to control costs upfront so we paid for the software upfront. We had heard about other vendors who get you in and then crank up the price later, but Acumatica doesn’t do that.”

With DacEasy and its manual systems, FSC Lighting could not grow, Treadwell said. “Acumatica and the processes we are developing are helping us double our sales without doubling our staff. The idea of being handcuffed to tribal knowledge is also going away. Before we had a hard time keeping up with growth, and now we can meet increasing customer demand.”
