NetSuite Gives Big Agnes the Scalability it Needs
An aggressive acquisition strategy by iAutomation came with a cost: the company found itself saddled with siloed applications running in a fragmented IT environment that provided little visibility. Productivity suffered as staff had to manually access, import and export data across multiple systems, and a lack of real-time client information was causing needless delays and lost opportunities for sales and customer service.

Moving on From Manual Processes
READY TO INNOVATE WITH NETSUITE
Choosing NetSuite’s unified cloud platform over the likes of SAP Business ByDesign and Microsoft Dynamics GP has cleared Big Agnes’ path to innovation and growth. The company was swayed by NetSuite’s flexibility and scalability, as well as its popularity as an ERP platform among outdoor products and sporting goods companies.

NetSuite’s impact has been dramatic. Big Agnes has doubled productivity in order and inventory management, fulfillment and accounting; freed up staff resources and avoided hiring additional people; gained real-time visibility into the business; and improved customer support quality.
