Real-time sales visibility for The Jojoba Company

The Jojoba Company grows, formulates, and packages safe, sustainable, ethical, and effective natural skin care products that naturally deliver transformative results. Jojoba manages every step of the process, from the farm to the warehouse to the store, while ensuring each bottle is of the highest quality.

During the pivot from brick-and-mortar stores to a global eCommerce presence, the Jojoba Company started to feel limited by their old business management software. In the old system, departments were unable to access the holistic, connected view of the business that they required. The Jojoba Company needed a centralised business management software to help them achieve their global ambitions.

Following the advice of their trusted business partner, Kilimanjaro Consulting, they selected and implemented MYOB Acumatica Business. Our skilled team was able to truly understands their business and customise the platform to suit their needs.

Watch the video case study to discover how the MYOB Acumatica implementation gave them visibility and control of the entire organisation.

What type of organisations do not suit MYOB Acumatica?

MYOB Acumatica is a complex, sophisticated business management platform. It requires in-depth solution design and configuration to meet your requirements and to add the most value to your organisation. It is not “One Size Fits all”.

To get the full benefits of MYOB Acumatica, you will need to partner with an experienced implementation partner. An MYOB Acumatica implementation project is a significant, detailed project, requiring months of in-depth design and configuration. It is not well suited to organisations looking for “out of the box” functionality or a low-cost entry point when upgrading from Accounting Software to ERP software.

An MYOB Acumatica implementation for a mid-sized company may cost between $50k and $100k depending on the individual requirements. More complex organisations could fit outside this range. Ongoing licence fees are per user, and usually range between $2k to $5k per month.

MYOB Acumatica is best suited to larger, more complex organisations with custom workflows and complex processes.

An integrated cloud-based Payroll and Workforce Management solution

MYOB Acumatica Payroll (People) is a module of the MYOB Acumatica Platform. It is a modern, cloud-based payroll and HR solution that can be fully integrated into MYOB Acumatica Business or can operate stand-alone. Process your payroll and other administrative tasks remotely, update tax rates and information in real-time, and let your employees manage their own information and leave applications with the Employee Self-Service module. MYOB Acumatica Payroll is Single Touch Payroll (STP) compliant and brings enhanced flexibility to your pay cycles, allowing customisable pay groups and pay frequencies.

New onboarding functionality for MYOB Acumatica Payroll

MYOB Acumatica Employee Onboarding is a new, dedicated onboarding solution in the MYOB Acumatica Payroll suite. Take advantage of the strong first impression created by a digital-first onboarding experience and the efficiency improvements by collecting this information in MYOB Acumatica Payroll. Reduce the administrative workload on your payroll administration team, who would typically chase paper forms and manually enter details. MYOB Acumatica (Acumatica) Employee Onboarding prevents employers from defaulting new starters into the employer super fund. It is mandatory for new employees to choose a new fund or select their existing fund.

Payroll and HR software is becoming increasingly important for modern businesses. To remain up-to-date, secure and compliant, you should consider upgrading your payroll software. Maintaining appropriate compliance and governance is paramount, and payroll is one area of your business at risk of non-compliance or fraud. 

The MYOB Acumatica Workforce Management module is an extension of MYOB Acumatica Payroll. It is directly integrated into your payroll and ERP system. This makes the MYOB Acumatica platform the first and only system available to midmarket ANZ organisations that lets you manage your entire organisation from one place.

However, we can also provide ad-hoc training to suit your specific requirements, whether you have new staff that require system training or a refresher on what was covered during implementation. This customised training gives you flexibility on time and areas that you wish to cover.
