Insane trendsetter drives growth with JCurve Solutions
Recognised for their fresh approach, Audiofly is an award-winning innovator of premium headphones to the dynamic music industry. Originally launched at the Las Vegas CES in 2012, Audiofly now supply in-ear monitors for Australia’s X-Factor, Top International DJ’s and enjoy a rapidly growing international base of loyal customers. Audiofly’s CEO (Dave Thompson) knows the power and potential of an effective ERP system, so it’s no surprise that he used JCurve ERP’s unified, cloud-based software to build the business from the ground up, seamlessly upgrading to NetSuite as his business continued to grow.
From the outset, Audiofly knew they needed:
Advanced inventory management
Multi-site, 3PL logistics support
A comprehensive and intuitive reporting system
Best practice processes and workflows
Cloud capability
“I had done my homework, and knew that JCurve ERP could deliver best practice workflows and processes in which to develop our business, at an affordable price.”
Why did Audiofly start with JCurve ERP?
Dave had researched the market and knew exactly where to direct his search for a full-capability small business ERP solution. “I had done my homework, and knew that JCurve ERP could deliver best practice workflows and processes in which to develop our business, at an affordable price.” With musicians, artists and consumers around the world looking to access the purpose designed and built earphone technology, Audiofly required a multi-site 3PL logistics model out of Australia, Hong Kong and the USA. JCurve ERP provided the platform, and the capability, to think globally and be nimble about where they hold and distribute stock.
Launching their business with JCurve ERP from day 1 certainly gave Dave and his growing team here and in the USA an edge. It was about solving the problems and inefficiencies driven by disparate accounting, CRM and inventory systems. JCurve ERP allowed the business to streamline and automate processes across sales, inventory and order management, invoicing, accounts and reporting. “With JCurve ERP, we were able to deliver business processes that would defy our size and allow us to better service our customers.”
Based on NetSuite, JCurve ERP allowed Audiofly to seamlessly upgrade to NetSuite as their business and their requirements continued to expand. JCurve Solutions provided the starting point with JCurve ERP and continues to support Audiofly as a NetSuite solution provider.
“NetSuite is our home base and has enabled us to compete on the world stage.”
Empowered business growth
JCurve ERP first supplied the backbone of Audiofly’s growing presence in the headphone market. Dave has been impressed with its scalability of JCurve ERP, “The system has always exceeded our growing expectations and costs have been very reasonable.” JCurve Solutions provided the direct upgrade path from JCurve ERP to NetSuite and continues to provide the solution empowering Audiofly’s success.
Running two highly customised websites, Audiofly has been able to develop an inspiring presentation of their growing range. It’s an aspect that Dave recognises as essential to his brand’s development and their push into emerging international markets. “Starting with JCurve ERP enabled us to develop a best practice eCommerce website at the front end, that is unified with the back end. Systems built 20 years ago just can’t deliver that.”
The cloud capability gained first through JCurve ERP and now through NetSuite continues delivering significant benefits to Dave as he criss-crosses the globe between manufacturers and his secondary hub in California. “JCurve ERP and NetSuite have enabled me to take my business with me. I have the same real-time visibility and functionality overseas as I do in our Australian headquarters.”
From 1 trade show to a global success in 3 years
With an implementation that was tailored to our specific business needs and JCurve Solutions’ knowledge of similar wholesale distribution operations and the system capabilities, Audiofly’s requirements have been fully addressed.
“JCurve ERP provided our home base and enabled us to compete on the world stage.”
