A return on investment might be just a few clicks or taps away with Cloud ERP, Acumatica. For modern manufacturers and distributors, the need to scale efficiently, operate with precision, and deliver faster results has never been greater. Traditional systems too often create bottlenecks, relying heavily on spreadsheets, manual reporting, or disconnected data sources that slow decision-making and drain resources. Acumatica changes that equation.
In contrast to traditional ERPs, Acumatica is cloud first and mobile ready ERP solution that empowers teams to work anywhere, across real-time data, and layer AI-powered insights across their operations. By embedding intelligence into everyday workflows, Acumatica allows organizations to streamline inventory management, predict demand more accurately, and schedule production with greater agility.

When Portacool, a leading distributor of cooling products, partnered with Algorithm to implement Acumatica, they had a clear goal to move away from spreadsheets and automate manual workflows while gaining a unified, real-time view of their operations. The outcomes achieved were immediate and measurable processes, improved accuracy, and significant ROI across inventory and shipping functions. Check out their video story here.
“One of our goals was to move away from Excel spreadsheets and gain one source of the truth… We struggled to know if inventory counts were accurate.” - Kimberly, Portacool
The 2022 acquisition of Bee Valve brought in a company rich in innovation history yet limited by obsolete processes and disconnected operations. The company relied heavily on spreadsheets for core processes, while its legacy system, Macola, was used only for accounts receivable and payable, leaving inventory and production untracked. Each of the four companies under Black Tip LLC. operated on separate, disjointed data sets, creating a lack of visibility across the organization. Compounding these issues, the workforce was fragmented, most staff were temporary employees with little cohesion making it difficult to build a unified culture or streamline operations. Determined to revitalize the company, they turned to Algorithm to implement Acumatica ERP, unlocking new efficiency, unifying teams, and setting the stage for growth.
