The Company: About Xikar Inc.
XIKAR, Inc., based in Kansas City, is dedicated to providing customers with the finest cigars, cigar cutters, lighters, containers, humidification, and accessories.
The Situation: Outgrew QuickBooks
Using QuickBooks for its accounting purposes could not meet the company’s needs.
XIKAR, Inc. had been using QuickBooks for its accounting purposes, but with over 20 employees at its Kansas City headquarters, it could not meet the company’s needs. With QuickBooks, there was no integration across systems; XIKAR Inc. was forced to create separate systems for shipping, reporting, and accounting.
QuickBooks did not support exporting reports to Excel and was processing slowly when its database wasn’t locked. XIKAR needed a business management software system to grow with.
The Solution: xTuple Software
XIKAR implemented and tested xTuple over 3 to 4 months. After one year, software was available across all departments.
The Results: xTuple Implementation Benefits
XIKAR now has the capability to track those in sales for commission statements, link orders to shipping with UPS and FedEx, process credit card sales, and service multiple “ship-to’s” per account. There have been no scaling issues as the company has doubled in size. xTuple has provided control, flexibility, and low-cost, high-value business management software.
