Spohn Associates

Founded as a manufacturer’s representative, Spohn Associates evolved into a
full-service architectural installation company offering ornamental metal railings, canopies, walkways, shelters and architectural wall panel systems. The company ran on a legacy Sage system for more than 20 years and later added a custom reporting database that grew so big it often crashed. Spohn deployed Acumatica Construction Edition, gaining a single connected construction and accounting solution with numerous efficiencies to help projects remain on time.

“Acumatica Construction Edition had everything we were looking for. We are different from a regular construction contractor and liked that we could add our own specialty fields and customize it to the way we do business.”

Sean Barnett, Chief Financial Officer
