Case Studies

Harvest Gold

Harvest Gold manufactures and sells premium soil amendment products for gardeners and commercial growers, distributing through Amazon, Shopify, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, and regional nurseries.

The Challenge

  • Disconnected Systems: Harvest Gold managed orders and inventory across SPS Commerce, CommerceHub, ShipStation, QuickBooks Desktop, and Amazon Seller Central, requiring daily manual entry and reconciliation.
  • Compliance Risk: Missing daily inventory updates for retail partners could mean delisting from major channels.
  • No Unified Dashboard: Leadership and staff couldn’t see true sales, inventory, or fulfillment status in one place.
  • Resource Bottlenecks: Key staff spent 20+ hours per month on repetitive tasks.
  • Transition Hurdles: An incoming executive team required future-proof, streamlined operations.

  • Harvest Gold chose Focal Software to unify and automate their eCommerce operations:

  • Automated Compliance: Daily inventory updates eliminate risk of retailer penalties.
  • Scalable Growth: Unified system ready to scale.
  • Seamless Transition: Flexible go-live to align with Harvest Gold’s evolving leadership and marketing strategy.
