Posted on by

Fanimation, an Indiana-based designer and manufacturer of unique and innovative ceiling fan kits, has grown from a one-man shop to a thriving international business, serving more than 1,500 customers and exporting its products to over twenty-three countries worldwide. Fanimation’s corporate culture, centered on family values, combined with the development of high-quality, sustainable products, positions the company as a leader in the ceiling fan industry.

As Fanimation experienced consistent growth and increased sales demand, they realized that their original, proprietary accounting system was no longer sufficient to handle their evolving business requirements. To address this challenge, they sought a robust business and financial management solution with real-time information, automation, and scalability. They turned to an Elite AccountMate Business Partner, for a solution.

It was recommended that they install AccountMate SQL’s financial management system due to its open architecture and scalability.

Some key solutions implemented include:

  • Product Arrival Visibility. With over 200 customer orders per day, Fanimation needed to track the status of containers throughout their movement in order to project item availability for order fulfillment. Now, Fanimation employees have access to estimated arrival times and can manage order fulfillment problems in advance, equipping their team with up-to-the-minute information. Complete visibility into their products helped them efficiently create a knowledgeable workforce ultimately boosting productivity, sales and customer service.
  • Unique Inventory Attributes. Fanimation sells more than 70 different fan models, each with numerous unique attributes. To track and manage over a hundred of these product-specific attributes, the business partner deployed custom data entry screens and reports. Additionally, they facilitated importing and exporting data to and from Microsoft Excel to avoid tedious editing.
  • Comprehensive Order Tracking. This allowed seamless integration of industry-specific solutions, streamlining the shipping process and improving warehouse efficiencies.

By leveraging AccountMate, Fanimation has achieved real-time information, integration, and automation 24/7, supporting their business goals and strategies. Over the course of more than ten years, Fanimation tripled its revenue, expanded its warehouses nationwide, and experienced significant customer growth.

With the implementation of AccountMate’s financial management system, along with the specialized support from an AccountMate solution provider, Fanimation can efficiently manage its growing business, streamline operations, and significantly increase its sales volume over the years.
