Customer Success Story With CannaBusiness ERP, FIGR Has Its Future All Figured Out

About FIGR

When you meld five generations and 150 years of farming instinct and experience with modern innovation and technology, you get FIGR™. Headquartered in picturesque Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, FIGR is a budding cannabis enterprise owned by locals with talent, creativity and passion to spare.

Until recently, FIGR was owned by a large, publicly-traded American tobacco conglomerate, and was required to use SAP as their ERP system. When FIGR was placed for sale, Prince Edward Island locals purchased it and returned it to its roots.

As a condition of the sale, though, FIGR would need to procure and implement its own ERP solution. It was given just a few short months to make the transition — but NexTec assured the company they were up for the challenge.

The Solution

“We didn’t have any time to waste, but we still needed to make the best decision to support our operations,” explains Kyle Smith, CFO of FIGR. “We looked at several ERPs and even considered staying on SAP. Then NexTec showed us CannaBusiness ERP, built in Sage X3, and won our trust and business.”

NexTec impressed the company with its cannabis industry experience and knowledge. “We didn’t have to explain how we operate, what compliance mandates we face, or which workflows are critical — they understood,” says Smith. “And importantly, they assured us they could meet our tight six-month deadline to go live on the new solution.”
