Acumatica vs. GlassManager

Coming from Sage, when you have to post financial data, it locks the system. Acumatica, there is no delay, there is no downtime. Dashboards. My CEO recently asked me, "I really want to see what our top customers are and what markets that they're spending the most money in." Acumatica had that widget already prepared for me.

Glassmanager is well suited for glazier's business, companies looking for billing software.

• Real-time access to financials across firm's locations in India for better in-house sales, cost and financial health analysis
• The tool is great with respect to the creation of dashboards and KPI reporting to get visual picture of profitability and cash flow metrics across projects

• user-friendly interaction
• work order management system
• time and cost savings
• staff has been helpful, responsive, and professional throughout our time together

• Mass updating existing BOMs or Production Order Details. For larger orders, especially if many things need to be changed it can take a painstakingly long time to update each production order one-by-one.
• The product configurator is too flat, we definitely need nested configurations that can capture variable subassemblies.
• Accounting has room for improvement, I don't really like the idea of SO Invoices living in a separate spot until they are Released. I have had complaints from our accounting personnel since they have to leave the "Accounting World".

• They need to integrate GlassManager with GnuCash. It is a free account management software.

It is a flexible system that is very flexible and is easy to use. It will also be able to scale as the company grows. Frankly, we have invested too much time to walk away from it now and the initial phase is going well

The processes are very intuitive and easy to use. Whether you are entering AP bills, timecards for payroll, or AR invoices, the processes are similar and easy to use. The drill-down capability is also a huge plus as you can easily toggle between different modules without having to leave the screen you are in and navigating through a menu to get the information you need. We found that the standard reports out of the box are lacking. Our implementation did not go so well and when we were finally ready to run financial reports, it was both disappointing and frustrating to discover that the P&L was highly summarized and to get a detailed report required having to do a lot of formatting myself. I was able to figure it out on my own, but when our financials were already delayed getting published, I did not really have the time to spend trying to figure out how to build my own P&L.

We recently switched VARs and it has made a world of difference! Our new VAR actually is proactive to various situations versus being reactive to events that have happened. They are accessing how we are using the modules and suggesting better more efficient ways!

Online training has gone away. Need to bring back the webinars. Live webinars are so benficial to training new employees.

I'd say the partner selection is critically important. I think the software is very easy to implement. It's very customizable to your business. Finding a partner that will work with you to understand your business and your needs is the critical piece to make sure that the system goes along with it.

Acumatica's flexibility, user interface, reporting, customizable system, data imports, Power BI integrations, exportable reports, and connections to other systems make it a stand-alone ERP solution. Finding another system capable of doing this would be a good find. Head above the others. In-system emailing. Import/export of data to and from anywhere.

We tried a few different software options before finding Glassmanager, but none of them had all the features we needed for our business. Glassmanager is amazing because it has everything we require, from creating quotes to managing materials—it takes care of everything. Plus, it works seamlessly with QuickBooks. We're really happy with Glassmanager and want to thank the Glassmanager team for their excellent work!

No, annual invoices are fine. I do like that unlimited users are included.

From my understanding, the P.O. module is not very robust, at least the last time I inquired about it. At the time, it had a one-to-one match, with one invoice for one P.O. and that isn't practical for many businesses. I don't believe it would be an easy system to use for sending out invoices, if we had thousands of retail utility customers. We do a small number of invoices because we sell wholesale power, not retail, so we only Invoice the municipality. Not each utility customer.

They are very responsive and knowledgeable about the product. If the rep doesn't have the ability to solve the issue, they quickly get someone else involved to assist us.

• I feel like I am not using it to it's potential and it's frustrating to know that it can do more than I am able to use and more help with that would be great
• The implementation was a lot of customize building and I felt like some of it could have been built by my partner rather than having them sit and watch me enter a bunch of stuff, especially when a lot of it was over my head in understanding
