KFC and Pizza Hut Select Acumatica to Replace Aging JD Edwards Accounting Software at Subsidiaries

Acumatica offers KFC integrated accounting, purchasing, sales, and fixed asset management in a single solution that can be deployed on-premise or as SaaS.

BETHESDA, Md., December 19, 2011 Acumatica, a provider of Cloud ERP software, today announced Kentucky Fried Chicken Management Pte Ltd together with Pizza Hut Singapore Pte Ltd have selected Acumatica Cloud ERP to replace an aging JD Edwards deployment. By moving to the Cloud, KFC and Pizza Hut will reduce maintenance costs associated with desktop software, gain access to applications from anywhere, and consolidate multiple business functions under a single centralized system.

“KFC management realized it was time to streamline operations and upgrade to a modern Cloud system” said Sergey Vereshchagin, Managing Director of Acumatica Singapore. “Acumatica allowed KFC to make the upgrade and gain real-time access to a single business system to manage accounting, purchasing, catering sales, fixed assets, and inventory.”

Acumatica Cloud ERP allows KFC to centralize decision making across multiple locations and multiple systems. By gathering sales, accounting, and purchasing data, Acumatica delivers real-time dashboards and reports to help management make informed business decisions.

Acumatica was selected over client-server alternatives because the Cloud delivered a highly scalable solution that could be centrally managed and accessed from anywhere. In addition, Acumatica reduced the total cost of ownership by eliminating client software and costly upgrades. Unlike other Cloud solutions, Acumatica includes robust integration tools to simplify data import and communication with other external systems.

“KFC is another example of a brand name company making the move to SaaS and the Cloud,” said Ezequiel Steiner, CEO at Acumatica. “The ability to deploy an internal cloud, customize source code, and change business logic makes Acumatica an attractive option to mid-sized businesses looking to upgrade from client-server solutions without being locked-in to SaaS-only providers.”
