We're a dietary supplement manufacturer, and we use Acumatica for purchase orders and ordering raw materials, inventory management of raw materials and components, and for bill of materials and production orders, as well as order, final order, finished goods, fulfillment, shipping, warehouse order fulfillment, and customer order fulfillment and shipping. Labels and finance, cost of goods sold, finance, bookkeeping, a p ar, all finance.
Pros
Connect all the different areas of our business that would be in different systems. What I'm most hopeful about, since we're kind of new and it's been bumpy, what I already appreciate is that it is pretty much everything under one roof.
Cons
I think it could be our implementation that's specific to us, but the first in and first out FFO does not work for finished goods. We're learning it maybe because of the data that formatting that we gave it to, what's it called in the materials when it assigns raw materials to a purchase order, to a production order. It is misled by location. It makes sense that we have raw materials in multiple locations, but that trips it up, and I don't like the reporting. I think that reporting could be much better, whereas general inquiry screens I do like quite a bit.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it's great for a manufacturing setting, specific costing and tracking of cost of goods sold, labor overhead, and indirect, depending on how you want to set that up. And again, just having rather than disparate systems that talk to one another, it is one system to cover all of them. We're not using it for CRM, but it could do that as well, and that's the main benefit, I think.
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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I think it’s a great product. I think it’s very customizable, which is a big plus.
For manufacturing, it’s excellent because of creating the inventory, turning it into an actual product to sell, and also tracking the status of each process within that system.
I can’t think of any areas where it’s not suited, because otherwise we would be looking for something else or making changes, and at this time, we’re just growing with the system.
We have been using Acumatica since 2023. Acumatica has been the backbone of the whole operation for our company; it involves almost all staff from service, account, warehouse, sales, purchasing, and the HR department, all of whom use it. And Acumatica has been used on a daily basis. hence it has been very important for our company operation.
Pros
Web based
cloud
user friendly
unlimited user
Cons
system instability - bugs and errors
Features available in previous versions were either not available or not usable or not workable in Acumatica 2025 R1
Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend Acumatica on the usability, functions (Acumatica will have some new features on every new version and Acumatica has 2 new version every year), unlimited user. however it is rather frustrating because the instability of the upgrades which causes some hiccups and disrupt our operation. And the upgrade do cost us money as well.

Acumatica works really well for our mid-size company. It provides Strong approval workflows, and internal controls. It’s especially good for our project-based business since we track and use POs for job costing, budget tracking, and tax setup. When the tax side is set up correctly, it works well, but if it’s not configured properly, it can definitely cause issues. It’s probably not the best fit for very small businesses that just need simple invoicing, since it can be more complex than necessary.

Our business uses Acumatica for shop floor control, MRP, customer relations, and project management. We have found it to be as good as you are willing to use it. Once you commit to an ERP system, use it fully; don't try to fit it into your previous workflow or patterns.
Pros
MRP
Customer management.
Production control.
Cons
I want the ability to merge customer records.
Likelihood to Recommend
Works well for production orders and MRP; some improvements could be made to customer management, such as the ability to merge customer records. We haven't implemented shop floor control yet, but once it's set up, it appears we could eliminate the current spreadsheet solution we've used since the 80s. Lot and serial traceability is great.
I use Acumatica a lot. Behind the scenes, I'm creating dashboard widgets and things like that, but initially I was inputting AR invoices and putting my AP invoices, doing my cash receipts. We use it for everything.
Pros
Particularly well is just the ease of it being able to be used. We're coming from Sage, that's the product that we used before. Sage was limited, five people could get into the system at a time. Acumatica is unlimited.
The amount of information that's so easily accessible has made us more efficient, more productive, and it just makes for an easier workday when everybody can see the same information real time.
Cons
That's a tough one. I don't see where they could improve. For me it's always more on the user side that we can improve. Acumatica is only as good as what you put into it, so if there's ever an issue with Acumatica, I don't blame the system. I say what if we entered in incorrectly or not enough of for the system not to be able to provide what we want.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
I use it for timecards, AP processing, purchase orders, cash purchases, bank reconciliation. We have had good support, however, the amount of special orders is too much, as is the amount of modifications. The short timeliness for support that is included in the initial setup is too short. I like the concept, but all the special modifications and extra charges is almost not worth it. I feel we were and are a test subject and we are paying the price for all the issues.
Pros
Interface
Our one trainer Eric is awesome
Cons
Modifications
Billing
The help section is not user friendly
Likelihood to Recommend
As explained previously, the amount of special modifications is too much, most are standard accounting platforms. I truly believe that Acumatica was used by smaller companies and decided to use us as a test subject to see if they could handle a larger volume companies and we are paying time and money. Training and the 1st 6 months should be built into the initial startup.

I used Acumatica in Accounts payable. The problem was the way the old system prepares the check run, Acumatica way of running the process is very smooth and time saving. The possibilities of exporting the results to Excel make a big difference in data analytics and decision making at the time of payment to vendors.
Pros
Export to Excel
Easy bank reconciliation
Invoice recognition
Mobile app
Cons
When filter something and then go back, the filter is gone, this is very annoying
On the approvals , it should be nice to have a total field to see the amount
Likelihood to Recommend
Acumatica with the invoice recognition saves a lot of time, the AI part of it creates a good stream line while capturing the invoice. Also the móvil app helps with the approval if the person is not available in the office and it needs to take care of any situation in the system.
