Miller Paneling Specialties
Miller Paneling Specialties had a specific challenge to solve - overhaul their inventory management process and fit into their established systems, Procore and Acumatica. Kojo was the perfect fit to provide this specialty contractor with full inventory transparency.
The Story
Miller Paneling Specialties operates multiple companies, with one dedicated to procurement and the others to installation. Early on, purchasing was straightforward—they used one core material and didn’t need complex systems. But as the business expanded and materials grew more diverse, the need for structured inventory management became clear.
Ray Finney, COO of Miller Paneling, was deeply involved in optimizing operations. The team was already using Procore for project management and Acumatica for accounting, so whatever inventory system they brought on had to integrate with both. Integration wasn’t a nice-to-have—it was a dealbreaker.
When the Miller team discovered Kojo through Procore, Ray was immediately impressed by what he saw in the demos. Kojo offered seamless integration with both Procore and Acumatica, and the platform addressed their exact needs around inventory tracking. Ray quickly saw that Kojo was simple, intuitive, and powerful—making it easy to create POs, track deliveries, check inventory, and build pick lists. Even better, the Kojo team was transparent, helpful, and easy to trust, giving Ray full confidence in the decision.
The Solution
Kojo delivered exactly what Ray and his team saw in the demo—no surprises, just results. It became their all-in-one system for inventory tracking, reporting, and communication across departments. Kojo gave Miller Paneling instant transparency around deliveries and inventory movement. And the incredibly easy inventory pick lists are Ray’s favorite feature.
The platform replaced their manual processes and made it simple to document, troubleshoot, and understand the full history of any material order. Both the procurement and field teams saw immediate improvements—and adoption was smooth because Kojo just made sense.
The integrations with Acumatica and Procore eliminated double data entry and created a true checks-and-balances system between finance and procurement. When issues arise—like damaged goods or payment disputes—Kojo provides the documentation and clarity needed to resolve the issues without tedious back and forth with suppliers. Miller has even re-paid the favor to their suppliers in the case of an accidental double-shipped order. Kojo caught the error instantly, allowing the warehouse team to return the excess. Ray and his team have proven that Kojo is the perfect fit for their specialty trade business.
