Overall Satisfaction with Acumatica

Primary ERP platform used for all project accounting and fixed asset activities in a niche construction industry context. Handle all AP AR GL FA. Integrated with several other company systems and provides all financial reporting for a company of 250+ employees.
  • API - data integration
  • Filters and data views
  • Pivot tables and exports to Excel
  • Mobile app
  • Payroll system not ready for construction prime time
  • Integration with Salesforce best done independently, the internal product not strong
  • System adoption was strong thanks to great UI and ease of learning.
  • Customized views / filters /GIs make it very easy to tailor to different users or departments.
  • Pulling in data and exporting in simple standard formats works great.
Tailored reporting and user defined fields allowed us to add unique aspects for our business while including them directly into our reporting alongside for financials.
Construction is all about project accounting so the ability to have views at both the top project level as well as Task level has been particularly powerful - along with the ease of data import and export.
More powerful native web environment with ease of API integration was much better than all but NetSuite, however NetSuites construction functionality wasn't strong enough for our needs.
