xTuple continues to work very closely with us to understand our specific needs and ensure that we're able to meet the changing industry requirements.
Problems 

Thymly needed greater control over their operations (accounting, purchasing, CRM, manufacturing, inventory and distribution) which proved impossible with a rigid, legacy accounting software vendor. So, Thymly began searching for a more flexible solution that would help its business grow.

To reach the next business level, Thymly needed greater control over their operations (accounting, purchasing, CRM, manufacturing, inventory and distribution) which proved impossible with a rigid, legacy accounting software vendor.

“As part of our due diligence, we spoke with companies of all sizes that were running cross-platform, cross-operations software and the feedback was amazingly consistent — the bigger the software provider, the more problems these companies had,” says Harry Muller-Thym, CEO of Thymly.

Continually changing government regulations made adherence nearly impossible.

Solutions 

Thymly chose xTuple because of the success rate of its product implementation, affordability and superior customer support.

“Since September 11, 2001, restrictions and regulations have continued to tighten in the food industry. xTuple continues to work very closely with us to understand our specific needs and ensure that we’re able to meet the changing requirements,” adds Muller-Thym.

Results 

Thymly shut down its previous accounting system and went live with Linux-based xTuple software the very next day.

“The latest version of xTuple is the best yet,” says Muller-Thym. “It demonstrates their commitment to taking feedback from its customers and incorporating those ideas back into the product. For every reason that we decided to purchase the xTuple solution, it has worked out. It continues to exceed our expectations.”
