Additional DetailsPricing is always consumption-based with no five-year lock-ins or termination penalties. The Acumatica ERP pricing structure allows adding casual users, suppliers, and customers without paying for additional licenses. The cost is based on the features and resources utilized, not on the number of users who access the system. An Acumatica partner works with users to understand specific requirements, determine the proper resources and modules for the company, and presents a price for the license.

Acumatica
Acumatica works well for medium to large businesses with strong accounting procedures in place, it is a program for those companies that have outgrown Sage50 or QuickBooks Desktop and need to take their Finance software to the next level. The added complexity and some of the restrictions that come with robust finance software would likely be a burden on smaller organizations. Being an Acumatica Construction user, the Construction version specifically is well suited to any construction company that wants to take the leap to digitizing their construction processes.

I work with several businesses and have attempted to bring ScaleFactor into multiple. Thus far the business status/environment has been suitable for ScaleFactor only once, but I'll continue to look for more. ScaleFactor is great when a company has matured beyond the owner making all accounting and banking entries. As soon as multiple systems are needed, it's likely a decent time to call ScaleFactor. I'm confident my operations could run through ScaleFactor for a long time as the next step for us would be something akin to NetSuite or some other more rigid enterprise solution. Additionally, our business has a geographically displaced work force, typically working from home. Having access to all systems via the cloud has been great. No longer do we have to pass a specific computer back and forth for a physical computer software license. It's enabled maximum work flow convenience.

Pros
Acumatica
  • Ease of dragging documents into transactions has made our office paper free
  • Use of Excel to export any detail that we need, particularly to reconcile balance sheet accounts
  • The cloud environment is sooo wonderful! Coming out of the pandemic we value the cloud environment.

  • ScaleFactor has been a great resource for me as I got my business off the ground. They have allowed me to focus on marketing and strategy while they handle my Quickbooks and other accounting needs. Great accounting and finance solutions that don't require you to hire an in-house staff
  • Presenting data clearly.

Cons
Acumatica
  • We often run into strange one-off glitches that cause a Sales Order or invoice to miscalculate and provide inaccurate order totals.
  • The return process in terms of a PO return receipt can be quite confusing, as when linked to a drop ship PO it does not re-open the sales order by itself.

  • Could connect with All saving accounts i.e. Building society saving aswell as major banks.
  • When a connected bank or savings account hasn't been used for a month or 2 it could show a 0 transaction to keep it updated rather then saying "last updated 3 months ago"

Support Rating
Acumatica
We used Acumatica Support directly for the first year or so. Overall it's pretty good, but sometimes the support staff wasn't educated on the customizations we had, nor was I as the Customer as I couldn't remember which things were customized and which things were out of the box, so when there was an error, there were some misunderstandings.

Alternatives Considered
Acumatica
We selected Acumatica based on the licensing model. We also selected Acumatica based on the flexibility. We also selected Acumatica based on recommendations from our VAR. We liked the overall TCO of Acumatica vs other ERP systems. We also liked the fact that it was able to do the inter company accounting necessary for our business.

Scale factor, can be used like Xero I believe. However all my past data was already stored in Xero so I used it as an add on. It is a lot more user friendly and helpful, i.e. you don't need to be an accountant to use it. However I am not sure it is useable anymore or supported, so i have gone back to using Xero alone.

Return on Investment
Acumatica
  • We were able to successfully navigate the pandemic due to the fact that it is cloud based.
  • We were able to determine that customers who told us to not call again, often bought from us.
  • Employee morale was very high as everyone in the company had access to the data that tracked our first year of profitability in years.

ScaleFactor
  • They have been fundamental in helping us grow and scale at a relatively low cost in comparison to out-sourcing these functions. We can spend more on other items that can fuel growth while knowing the back end is taken care of.
  • They provide automated supports for key areas like payroll, expenses, etc so that we can quickly get back to focusing on the other items.
