About The Customer
Youngevity is a health products distributor based in Chula Vista, California, USA. The company markets and distributes health and nutritional products via a member network. With a vast product range of 400 products, the company processes thousands of orders per day and serves over 100,000 customers. Youngevity operates six warehouses located around the world and manages several product lines. The company is expanding internationally into the Philippines and several other countries.
The Challenge
Youngevity, a health and nutritional products distributor, was facing challenges in automating its accounting and distribution processes. With over 400 products, thousands of orders per day, and over 100,000 customers, the company needed a robust system to manage its operations. The company had six warehouses located around the world and required a system to deliver a centralized view of several product lines. Prior to Acumatica, Youngevity was using QuickBooks for financial management and an Access database for inventory. However, these systems were not providing a consolidation solution, out-of-the-box inventory management, multiple currencies, nor APIs to connect to Youngevity’s Genealogy System that manages client orders and relationships.
The Solution
Youngevity decided to replace QuickBooks and the Access database with Acumatica, an integrated accounting and inventory solution that could grow on demand. Acumatica was chosen because it offered the benefits of Cloud software along with an API that could easily connect with their existing Genealogy System. Acumatica was built on a solid architecture and wasn’t burdened with numerous patches and client software that makes maintaining old technology difficult. When changes are needed, the system can be adapted using the customization tools. Acumatica’s pricing model is built for a growing company like Youngevity. New users can easily be added without worrying about redistributing licenses. Acumatica helped Youngevity link their Genealogy System with integrated accounting and inventory management.
