Kenandy, a Rootstock Software company

Kenandy makes our business more competitive

Merrow runs on Salesforce and Kenandy: Purchasing, Accounting, Sales, Manufacturing, Fulfillment, Engineering, Customer Service and Marketing. We wouldn't trade it for anything. Kenandy combines a robust feature set, with remarkable flexibility and processing speed that makes our companies run more profitably. Deployed in 2013 Kenandy provides us measurable efficiencies in each department, transparency through the organziation, and it has transformed the management of the company as we refocused our attention on revenue generation instead of data collection. The practical experience of using Kenandy and Salesforce is a great benefit to the system. Salesforce is intuitive and Kenandy extends that uniform interface, specifically around reporting. Training on the system is relatively easy, and once trained, employees are empowered to leverage the remarkable reporting to meet and react to the demands of the business with less management. The extensibility of the system is another terrific benefit. As an ERP system Kenandy satisfies most of the requirements that any mid-size company will have. However, every company has idiosyncratic processes that are not well optimized for out-of-the box software. Customizing Kenandy to build these processes into the system is easy and effective. We find ourselves constantly adding functionality which effectively allows the software to map to our business rather than visa versa. Kenandy’s support is as good as it gets - and the management team have supported every ambitious goal that they’ve shared with us on the product roadmap. When we started with Kenandy it was unclear whether the company could fulfill on it’s grand ambitions; but after several years of working with the software we can say confidently: ‘they have’. Kenandy is a software solution for companies looking for a strategic advantage in an ERP/MRP deployment; specifically companies interested in using technology to grow their business.

Business Process Architect

I have been working with Kenandy for almost three years, and have been a part of the core IT functional team for two Kenandy implementations at my organization. I have seen a successful Kenandy implementation at one of our smaller individual business units that replaced off-the-shelf ERP software that had limited capabilities. I then saw another successful Kenandy implementation across our larger organization, while replacing a much older and customized ERP solution, with a high cost of ownership. I would recommend Kenandy to organizations seeking to execute their company strategies through enabling business capabilities and agile business processes, while realizing the benefits of operating in the cloud and on the Salesforce platform. Through partnership with Kenandy, I’ve seen first-hand the implementation of business processes that took years to develop in the legacy world, in a number of months. End users have told me that information is very easily accessible and the ease of navigation and reporting empowers them to make better and faster business decisions. Supporting the object configuration and data environment is very manageable. The support staff at Kenandy are very bright individuals and will work with you to ensure successful results.

ERP Project Management Consultant

I have found Kenandy to be the most full-featured ERP on the Salesforce platform. I have implemented Kenandy for two companies and I am currently working on a third. The users find Kenandy extremely easy to navigate. They tell me that Kenandy saves them time throughout their day. Kenandy is easy to configure and to maintain. They are adding new features regularly which continue to streamline business processes. My prior experience was that of an SAP consultant and I find Kenandy much easier to work with. The fact that it is native to the Salesforce platform means that it can easily work with other applications on the App Exchange. I have seen it working for large customer with EDI and Tibco integrations and smaller customers with very few interfaces. It is very flexible and the Kenandy team is great to work with! I highly recommend Kenandy ERP to any firm looking to streamline their business processes.

Works for us

We have been using Kenandy for a few years now have dozens of users banging on it each day from our offices in San Francisco and Shenzhen. We are glad that we chose them as our ERP partner, especially after hearing about the challenges of implementing on-premise solutions from Oracle or SAP. The team at Kenandy has been supportive and knowledgeable throughout the relationship.

Couldn't ask for anything better.

Kanandy's salesforce is easy to learn and extremely useful in seeing real-time data which is vital in any manufacturing based company. I would gladly recommend this platform to anyone.

User Friendly and Your Business Information at Your Finger Tips

This platform delivers exactly what they say it will. In my 30+ years in operations I never had this type of information so easily available. If there is anything out there better it must be on the drawing board. Anyone in the organization can quickly see how much faster information is available to you. Even better that you can see it anywhere in the world from your phone. Rarely does anyone in an executive role want to be disconnected from your workplace. With this Salesforce platform there is no need for calling anyone on your days off to check on the anything. You have every departments real time information available to you. Great team to work with on the implementation.

Take your business to the next level

Moving to Kenandy from a locally hosted ERP system has allowed us to have the data we need to run our business at our fingertips. We are no longer concerned with how we will get the data but rather what the data is telling us and how we will use the data to make better and faster decisions. The system has been easy to configure and allows us to make the changes we need to better streamline our company and automate tasks we do on a regular basis. The team at Kenandy has been very helpful and open to design recommendations.

Great product / Superb team

The salesforce platform has enabled businesses to become more agile in they way they operate. Moving to cloud erp on force.com eliminates the legacy challenges and allowed us to focus on quickly growing and extending functionality to sales, service, marketing, and analytics by having our core business running on the platform.

Cloup Based ERP

If you are looking for a new ERP system. Kenandy is worth your time to review is functionality. We have been using Kenandy for the past two years and we are very happy with our decision. Ours come from companies using SAP and Oracle and they find Kenandy much easier to use. We have also integrated several other applications that have helped us to manage the business easier and faster.

.........Need to check this out!!!

For any small - medium size company looking to take control of their manufacturing system with a group of individuals who know what they are doing, Kenandy needs to be the first call that you make. If you have an existing system, process or legacy pieces that are preventing you from manufacturing velocity, time to market, clear and concise, analytics, integrated financials and effective management oversight for your manufacturing environment Kenandy is for you. The internal team we have working on our implementation has experience with BaaN, SAP, Oracle, Visual Mfg, Man-Man, Manugistics, Epicor Manage 2000 and a couple of other MRP solutions ranging from small ($20M) to very large scale ($22B). Out team regularly points to all of the failed or late implementations that they've worked on in the past. We have many "war" stories and "nightmares" associated with implementations to share.........and I can tell you we've not added to that very long of issue because we are dealing with the "right" solution. None of the traditional pitfalls exist inside the Kenandy relationship. These folks know what they are doing and they have Manufacturing in their DNA. We are a small startup with significant projected growth in the coming year AND we are very confident that Kenandy will evolve with our needs and create a success story for both organizations over the next couple of years. There is nothing in the marketplace today that would have allowed us to achieve our goals while supporting our growth needs all in one. As an additional note, I had recommended Kenandy to another local company of similar profile and they decided to go with another. Well, their implementation has been a train wreck; their costs have skyrocketed and they are not getting the support as initially indicated.......we've seen none of these issues......Ecstatic! We have a long way to go, but are far along the path to success.
