Reviews
(1-25 of 216)- Drilling down on data
- Ability to export to Excel from almost any screen
- Allocations
- Importing simplicity
- More granular permissions
Acumatica from the Inventory Purchasing experience
- Live data sync
- Purchase order organization
- Managing 40k+ different accounts
- Performance. Sometimes it feels like it takes few seconds in between every step in a process, if that could be shortened, my efficiency would be vastly improved.
- Ability to customize and enter data at any screen. Often you can view data one place, but you have to open something up deeper to actually change it.
Acumatica Review
- Streamlines our processes and simplifies our systems. Previously, we had to manage two software systems to handle an order and get it out the door with proper shipping documentation. Now, we were able to deploy the shipping document creation inline with the sales order process and streamline our process. This allows us to save about $3K a year just on time savings alone (in creating shipping documentation). This was a nice win for us for this project.
- Financial Reporting is simplified and flexible for our needs. We are estimating a time savings of around $14.5K per year in time spent creating reports through manual manipulation. The reporting capabilities are much more flexible and allow for greater visibility than our previous ERP.
- We see that Acumatica is a leader in the user interface, however, due to the recent announcement and capabilities coming around the flexibility of the screen space, we believe that this will be a huge benefit. Improvements around being able to shrink boxes and areas and also have a different user interface for groupings is great.
- Another area to grow is in integrating with legacy solutions that are hard to interact with. We are planning to integrate it with Salesforce, so we know that's a newer type solution. So we believe that the integration will be relatively easy to do. But we do have some legacy systems that are hard to get rid of that would be nice to connect with. However, I think we're more willing to move on to new solutions that already exist within Acumatica versus integrating with it.
ERP System that is of great value
- Covers more areas including integrating accounting natively
- GI's and dashboards
- Slow spinning blue wheel; very frustrating but that could be because of our customizations
- Slow response time on processing times
Acumatica Review
- That it's a cloud-based TRP. For us, the open API is very useful for us. Simple, easy to use, solves our basic needs without any customization.
- Manufacturing suite. You have all the time. So for the Manufacturing edition, you're able to have negative issues that are unlimited and are not balanced into a job that needs to be improved. The mobile app itself for warehouse picking and management sets the default item to one. This is not how most warehouses that I've ever worked at operate. Bomb hierarchy and respectful of child elements. These are nitty gritty elements, but these are kind of down-and-dirty items that need to improve. But overall it's pretty good.
Acumatica Review
- This product alleviates the burden of point-and-click time entry. It also allows us to automate a host of different workflows around invoicing certain clients, and it accommodates a host of conditional and customizability points that we need to accommodate with regard to our unique contract structures and our very unique invoicing structures. Given that we are financial services aligned in federally regulated.
- I don't know that I can succinctly answer that question because everything that we have thrown at this system because of its breadth of customizability, it has taken in stride. So I don't know. I don't know of a use case yet where Acumatica has not been able to measure up through some form or fashion.
Acumatica Review
- I love the generic inquiries. We've created many of our own and it's very helpful and easy for the users to understand there are fields that they can click through and get to other pages and it's wonderful.
- We have kind of a complex pricing structure and we use line discounts as well as group discounts. And the group discounts are a bit difficult to use. We can't see it on the first page of the order. We can't see a for each price on an item and so we've had to modify our forms quite a bit to get that to work for us. It is working, but I would love for some of that to be more visible to my end users.
Acumatica Review
- The thing that I enjoy the most about it is being able to drill down into a transaction. So if I have an end user that's looking at their financial statements and they're not necessarily a numbers person, they're like "Hey, I want to know what made up my total for the month of my total expenses and my budget". So they'll drill down into the number and they can look line by line to see what made up that number. And that's been the thing that's been the most helpful for us.
- One of the things I think that's not standard is that when you're reviewing on the app, if you're trying to review as an invoice approver, you can't see the actual GL account numbers that it's going to, which kind of defeats the purpose and being able to approve because you want to make sure it's going to the right place. So that's one of the things. I also think some of the standard reports could use a little sprucing up. The fixed asset reports are very great if you want to know the total depreciation for the month, but not much else. So I have trouble trying to look at beginning adjustment and end on some of the reports that came standard with it.
Acumatica Review
- I love the customization ability that you can make the screen have what you want on it and in the order or wherever it is that you want it.
- I like the ease of getting data out of the system for other purposes.
- I believe their payroll module could be a little more user-friendly, and easier to find where the settings and check marks are. That would be my one area.
Acumatica Review
- One thing that we're really happy with, and this is just from my position, is how easy it is to track what we're selling, when it's going to need to ship, and what the history of the cells of that particular item are. From a purchasing standpoint. It allows us the clarity and the visibility to be able to make informed decisions time after time.
- Sometimes whenever you have a newer user, it can take a little while to learn it once you spend the time on it and it's a little bit more self-evident, but I think just having a little bit more ease of use in the beginning would probably be helpful.
Acumatica Review
- I love the way I can drill down and look at everything. If I start out at a report and I want to see details, I can click on a hyperlink and it'll take me just as far as I want to go. I can pull up a sales order, I can drill down into the inventory items that are on that sales order. I can open a customer record and drill down and look at all of the history on that customer. I can look at an inventory ID and find the last time we received it or the last time someone purchased it. So I liked the whole aspect of just being able to drill down through documents and see details.
- I would like to see Acumatica, they just rolled out a new feature called Related Items and I would like to see Acumatica when they roll out a new feature like that that's going to require the input of a lot of data to use that. I'd like to see them offer an import scenario shell or format so that we can plug in our data from Excel and dump it right in so that we can start using that new feature right away.
Acumatica Review
- It processes our invoices, and our accounts payable invoices incredibly quickly. The AI feature with the reading saves a lot of keen time. The reporting to our users, which are throughout the state and remote, to be able for them to come in and check how much of their budget is remaining to help them manage their budgets is extremely important as we have over 300 different budget centers.
- The payroll module can occasionally be a little clunky and is not as easily modified for clergy payroll, which is important probably only to us, but the system is a little bit clunky in trying to get us, give us the ability to set those clergy up easily with their housing exclusions and their housing allowances and the unique aspects of being a clergy person.
Acumatica Review
- I think a great example is we just got on board with utilizing the bank feeds for our credit card processing. So that's been a game changer for us where in finance, we were continually using the source of the credit card statement to get information and transaction detail for many different platforms and it was just very messy trying to get that information out and then back to users and follow up and now it's all in Acumatica, now it's all automatic hooked up, we don't have to think about it. It's kind of there and it's given us great visibility and it's given our operational partners great visibility. So huge win for us on that side of things. And I think overall just having most business processes in this same platform, following the same type of functionality has also been just great. Having consistency has been awesome. And I think the third thing that's really big for us is the fact that it is we're utilizing the cloud platform. We can use it wherever we can be here while the rest of our operations are on the East Coast and we can use it the same thing that they're seeing. We don't have to be VPN in, it's just on the cloud. So functionality has been great.
- I think one of the things that's great about it is that Acumatica has so much customization capability, but sometimes that can be really overwhelming for companies who are just getting on board and maybe this is their first real ERP. So I know with our company specifically, we struggle with the challenge is just having a lot of people who aren't necessarily IT users and IT folks and don't have that mindset. So when there are so many options, it becomes really challenging for those users to be really effective with the product. So I think that's the one thing that's great and it's just taking time. So maybe more training and more things like this that are great to help onboard those individuals who there's a lot out there with Acumatica, so helping hone down, here's how it works and here's what you really need to focus on, is probably the big thing that we could use help on.
