Envent Engineering, a manufacturer of analytical equipment for the oil and gas industry, has experienced rapid growth, quadrupling its size and revenue over the past five years. Known for delivering high-quality analyzers in just 10–14 weeks—compared to competitors’ 52 weeks—Envent’s success revealed significant operational challenges. Manual processes, fragmented systems, and inefficient inventory management made it difficult to sustain growth, particularly during the pandemic’s supply chain disruptions. Recognising the need for a scalable solution, Envent sought to modernise its operations to maintain its competitive edge.
After evaluating ERP options, including SAP and NetSuite, Envent selected Acumatica Manufacturing Edition for its affordability, scalability, and robust functionality. SAP was deemed too expensive and complex, while NetSuite lacked user-friendly operational tools. Acumatica’s real-time data access, multi-currency support, and unified platform helped Envent streamline its operations, quadruple production capacity, and handle large international orders efficiently. By leveraging Acumatica, Envent improved profitability, optimised inventory, and maintained its market-leading delivery times, positioning itself for continued global expansion.

“Our adoption of Acumatica was concurrent with our expansion… If we had had all these orders come in without having a better data management system, we probably would have been a train wreck.”
