Pros

Automation of workflows and recurring tasks to improve productivity.

Out-of-the-box reporting is often insufficient or too generalized, requiring extensive customization.

User interface can be busy, requiring excessive clicks for routine tasks, and lacks intuitiveness.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We run our distribution business on Acumatica. It ties together customer service, sales, inventory, etc.

Pros

Manages inventory
Customer management
AP/AR

Cons

Managing inventory that ships in multiple boxes.
Can’t record a deposit against a blanket PO

Return on Investment

I would definitely say it's had a positive impact on ROI, because the old way of working before having a well implemented ERP platform was just too much redundant work, manual work, the use of multiple applications that were not integrated. So really it was all a mess before, before everything really came together on Acumatica. And as the company grew to learn the platform and really take command of really how to implement it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It’s a manufacturing company, so we use it for accounting—accounts payable and receivables. We also use it for the shipping department, for manufacturing to report products that are done. We’re also using the MRP for our purchasing department, and for production—creating the BOMs and keeping inventory levels and demand up to date.

Pros

I love the fact that we could go ahead and create BOMs to make end products, and with that, it also generates demand, so we can fulfill the materials needed to be able to sell our customers products and eventually make the sales.

Cons

Acumatica has been growing and keeps changing. I think the only thing I would say is it should be a little more user-friendly, especially when creating reports, without having to go into the programming of queries and all of that. That’s where I think it needs to be a bit more user-friendly.

Return on Investment

I think it has had a very positive impact on the company because now, visually, with the reports that Acumatica provides, we know where the company stands in terms of sales, inventory, and the whole process. So I think it has been a plus.
And I don’t recall—we have had some hiccups because Acumatica has been growing throughout the years—but nothing that has not been able to be fixed.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As an ecommerce and B2B distributor we use Acumatica daily to manage our sales orders, shipments, and financial documents. Our inventory management and valuation has always been a struggle so Acumatica has been a very valuable in crating reports and giving our key users the data visibility they need in real time. We are also closing our month in a few days rather than several weeks. As we have grown into other channels onboarding new EDI customers or even platforms such as BigCommerce and Shopify have been seamless.

Pros

Order management
Inventory Management
Purchase orders
Integrations

Cons

Keeping up with the ever changing tariff landscape on landed costs
Drop ship PO tracking
Kitting at vendors
Warehouse management

Return on Investment

Gives is great visibility in real time to all our daily operations
Inventory management and costing has become incredibly simple
Onboarding new EDI customers takes less than a day

Director (11-50 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acumatica for almost every aspect of our business. Sales use CRM. Accounting uses the Financial modules. We track all our our orders and inventory through Acumatica. We never knew that information could be so readily available until we begin using Acumatica. Everyone in our company has instant access to the information they need to do their jobs. We are able to work better and more efficiently since moving to Acumatica. Our sales have increased significantly thanks to all the information that Acumatica provides.

Pros

ease of use
very accessible information
easily customized for our particular business needs
cloud based

Cons

warehousing module is still fairly basic
setting up complicated generic inquiries really do require programming knowledge

Return on Investment

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.
