LifeSource, an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) operating in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, operated on a legacy Sage financial system and spreadsheets that hindered operations and growth. The organization deployed Acumatica ERP, gaining real-time data visibility for better decision-making and more efficient operations while also acquiring remote access.
Video Transcript and Summary
[0:24] Peter Farstad, Interim Chief Executive Officer: "LifeSource is the organization that serves the mission of organ, eye and tissue donation in the Upper Midwest. We're privileged to serve the mission to save lives of people on the waitlist, and also to honor the legacies of people who, as the last act on the face of the Earth, choose to save the life of another through donation.
[0:50] Our work takes place 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The mission has great demands that it places on our team members. The solution for our accounting software also needed to be as robust and as at the ready as our clinical teams are every day.
[1:15] We have found the perfect product partnering with Blytheco and the selection and implementation of the Acumatica software product. Acumatica is a robust solution that will allow us to grow with it as our work grows over the upcoming years."
[1:42] Beth Kabba, Senior Manager of Financial Operations: "When we started to look at a new program, Blytheco understood us and they also wanted to partner and be our mission. We didn't have a cloud-based system, so remote work in was very cumbersome. The leadership team had no financial access to any of the reports unless I printed them."
[2:03] Matthew Forse, Senior Staff Accountant: "Moving from our old system to Acumatica gave us the ability to work remotely. This is something that we weren't able to do in the past. It gave us access to any financial information we needed from anywhere. It also gave the ability to the leadership team to access that data, so they're able to make better decisions and not necessarily having to be in the office."
[2:22] Jenny McGee, Senior Payroll & Finance Admin: "With Acumatica, we're more automated, the process is much easier. We're able to scan a document, upload it into the system. There's a notification that goes directly to the manager, and once they approve it, it is ready to be paid."
[2:37] Matthew Forse: "Implementing Acumatica has allowed us to reduce our aged invoices over 90 days by over 50%."
[2:43] Jenny McGee: "Implementing Acumatica workflows has allowed us to increase our efficiency by 33%."
[2:49] Jeff Werthmann-Radnich, Accounting Assistant: "Since the implementation of Acumatica, our automation and data entry efficiency has increased by 40%."
[2:57] Taylor Collins, Program Assistant: "One of the things that I work on is data entry for cash receipts, which before implementing Acumatica took approximately 20 hours per week, and now I'm able to complete it in 4."
