Real Results, Fast Impact

  • Replaced outdated server-based ERP with a unified cloud platform
  • Scaled from 6 to nearly 15 companies without increasing finance headcount
  • Standardized processes and reporting across all entities
  • Improved operational visibility with Acumatica and Velixo
  • Reduced friction when adding and managing new entities
  • Strengthened strategic partnership with Aktion through ongoing support

The Challenge

Envelop Group’s legacy ERP system:

  • Lacked multi‑entity capabilities
  • Could not consolidate financials
  • Provided limited reporting
  • Created data silos and inefficiencies
  • Required manual workarounds
  • Was not designed for the company’s growing complexity
"Our old system wasn’t built for the complexity we have today. It couldn’t handle multiple companies, there was no consolidation, and reporting was extremely limited."
John Wiebke
Director of Finance

As the organization grew into renewable energy, smart building technologies, HVAC, and specialty lab environments, the limitations of the old system became unmanageable.

The Solution

Benefits

Efficient Growth Without Increasing Overhead

Since moving to Acumatica, Envelop Group nearly doubled in size and added only one new finance/admin employee.
“That says a lot about how much the system supports our work ... We’ve grown tremendously without growing overhead.”

Improved Reporting with Acumatica + Velixo

Acumatica provides daily operational reporting. Velixo enables advanced Excel-based analysis. Financial visibility is now real-time and customizable.
“Velixo gives us the flexibility to slice and dice however we need, but Acumatica is still the source of truth, and we rely on it every day.”

Enhancements Without Over‑Engineering

As operations became more complex, Aktion's guided decisions about enhancements and integrations, always prioritizing what worked best for Envelop’s business.
“That level of honesty is so important ... Instead of forcing something to work, Aktion helped us find the right path forward and it’s been a great fit.”

Reliable, Responsive Support Through Aktion

Envelop uses Aktion’s support plan, providing: ticket tracking, expert escalation, continuity with long‑time contacts, and peace of mind.
“The ticketing system gives us peace of mind. Even if something takes time, it’s being tracked. We’ve had long-time contacts there who have been with us since go-live, and it makes a difference to have that continuity.”

Continuous Innovation from Acumatica

Twice‑yearly upgrades deliver new capabilities and enhancements.
“They’re listening and improving. We’re not standing still.”
