Case Study: How ScanOnline Scaled with QuickBooks Enterprise Diamond
The Challenge: Outgrowing an Inefficient ERP System
ScanOnline, an enterprise wireless and mobility provider serving companies across North America, was growing fast. But success brought familiar challenges for mid-sized businesses:
Their ERP was too cumbersome and unable to integrate critical 3rd-party applications (sales tax, time tracking, payroll, payments).
Warehouse management was time-consuming and inefficient.
Their inventory system couldn’t differentiate drop-shipped items vs. in-stock goods, leading to inaccurate reporting.
CEO Lee Pickler needed a scalable accounting and ERP solution that would streamline processes, boost workforce productivity, and ensure quick employee adoption.
The Certum Solutions Approach
Certum Solutions brought a unique combination of accounting expertise and ERP implementation experience.
““We conducted a series of discovery sessions with Lee that surfaced unique business needs we would not have known about or been able to solve with a less engaged approach.””
The Certum team:
Conducted 10+ hours of workflow analysis to identify pain points and inefficiencies.
Reviewed every screen of ScanOnline’s current system to uncover hidden opportunities.
Matched requirements to leading QuickBooks Enterprise features and 3rd-party integrations.
Guided decision-making with a hands-on consulting approach designed for high adoption rates.
