Saddleback Leather Company experienced significant growing pains with their early ecommerce platforms. Initially using NetSuite, they faced challenges in adding desired functionalities, leading to a switch to Acumatica, which impressed them. Their subsequent platform, Magento, initially fulfilled their needs but eventually became cumbersome with excess functionality, resulting in slow load times and high bounce rates. The prolonged site updates and maintenance further burdened the team, impeding their growth potential. Founder Dave Munson recognized the necessity for a stable, agile platform that could grow with them while seamlessly integrating with Acumatica, their ERP. This critical need for a flexible and responsive platform was crucial to their future expansion goals.
