West Snowboarding: Cloud-Based Accounting for Passionate Entrepreneurs

West Snowboarding, founded in 2016, is a 4-person company founded by four professional snowboarders (David, Ferdinand, Michel, and Mathieu) with over 25 years of combined experience. Their mission is to develop high-quality snowboards with eclectic shapes and inspiring designs. In the early years, the company's accounting was done via a competing product installed locally on a Windows-based PC. This created significant limitations: the team couldn't use their preferred Macs, the software was quickly outdated without manual updates, and the system was inefficient. The team wanted to focus on their real passion—developing new snowboards—rather than managing complicated accounting processes.

In 2019, West Snowboarding switched to bexio's cloud-based business software. The solution provided a fast and efficient approach to invoicing and accounting processes that could be accessed from anywhere on any device. The cloud-based nature eliminated the need for local installation and manual updates. Multiple users could work simultaneously on the platform. The software featured user-friendly and intuitive operation with process automation capabilities. Automatic updates and backups were included, ensuring data was always current and secure. The platform provided free support, helping the team quickly learn and implement the system.

With bexio, West Snowboarding gained the time and flexibility needed to focus on their passion. The time saved through simplified accounting and process automation allowed the team to concentrate on developing new snowboards—their key priority. Administrative tasks were simplified and quick to complete, with all employees able to learn the system easily. The team could do their accounting whenever and wherever they wanted, providing unprecedented flexibility. The cloud-based solution meant they could finally work the way they preferred, on any device including their preferred Macs. The intuitive operation and process automation freed up significant time that could be dedicated to product development and innovation.
