Rino K&K Compression Transforms Inventory Management and Boosts Efficiency with Sage 100

Rino K&K Compression, Inc., a Texas-based company, specializes in the sale of new and used natural gas compressor parts. With an inventory of over 15,000 line items, they are known as the go-to source for hard-to-find parts. Rino K&K Compression was challenged with managing their complex inventory and financial reporting as their old systems created inefficiencies and visibility issues. When they needed a better, integrated solution, they chose MicroAccounting to implement Sage 100, optimizing their processes and delivering outstanding results.

The Goal

Improve inventory management, streamline operations, and get better visibility into inventory while increasing reliability of data and level of efficiency.

The Outcome

More accurate inventory management, significant time savings across operations, and improved sales productivity with real-time visibility.

After our previous software disasters, I could not be more pleased. MicroAccounting under-promised and over-delivered. Their support throughout and after the Sage 100 implementation has been phenomenal.” –Beth Hickert, Financial Controller, Rino K&K Compression

The Problem

Rino K&K Compression faced significant challenges in managing their extensive and complex inventory due to outdated systems. The lack of integration led to limited visibility for sales teams and inconsistent data, undermining their confidence in reporting accuracy.

• Complex inventory management: Their inventory included 15,000 unique line items, each requiring specific attributes and categories to be searchable by sales staff.
• Lack of integration: Their existing systems had no integration between their database and accounting software, leading to double data entry, human errors, and delays in accessing critical information such as sales orders and purchase orders.
• Poor visibility: Sales teams couldn’t access inventory information in real time so they couldn’t respond quickly to customer inquiries.
• Reporting inefficiencies: Reliance on spreadsheets and manual reconciliations caused significant inefficiencies in financial reporting.

The Solution

MicroAccounting worked closely with Rino K&K Compression to set up and deploy Sage 100, addressing their unique business needs through tailored solutions. Custom features boosted workflow efficiency, while expert training and support ensured a smooth transition and ongoing improvements.

• Integration for visibility: Sage 100 was fully integrated with Rino K&K Compression’s website, providing sales staff and customers with real-time inventory access from anywhere, significantly boosting sales efficiency.
• Accuracy improvements: Reduced manual data entry by automating processes within Sage 100, improving data accuracy and minimizing errors.
• Enhanced workflow efficiency: Customized features like reduced clicks for item setup and optimized landing pages for inventory allowed employees to focus on their core tasks, saving time across departments.
