Overall Satisfaction with Acumatica

Commodity trading, provides a full-suite ERP functionality and serves as a single source of the business truth. Transactions are end to end, and the data can be easily used to drive decisions and point employees on what work should be done next. Higher level analysis is easily achieved with easy external integrations.

Pros

  • Project Profitability
  • Customization

Cons

  • Ongoing Feature Support
  • Upgrade schedule is too rapid
  • More advanced inventory costing tracking
  • Single source of truth
  • Live order viewing
  • Alerts for issues
1-3 months
Leveraging both customization features, along with the no-code alert generation engine, allows for automated calls.to action by both internal and external stakeholders. Users who have the best perspective on business needs can easily approach the system administration and ask if something is possible. The answer is very often "Yes!"
Our company is in the agricultural commodity trade, which is extremely unique and does not have any tailor-made software to handle needs both relating to food QA and dropship transactions. Acumatica has lots of out of the box features to support that, with easy customization to refine it to our specific needs.
Acumatica offered the easiest tailoring for our unique needs, specifically regarding dropship transactions for food products. We were able to build out multiple modules to handle these scenarios on top of the core functionality that simply wasn't available in several other offerings. Our previous system was 30 years old, and extremely antiquated, so any upgrade was welcome. However, the flexibility has allowed us to continue to evolve, even 7 years after implementation.

Acumatica is an excellent choice for a midsized business ERP that is looking to expand to a full suite ERP solution beyond just basic accounting. Customization makes the software appropriate for a lot of different businesses. It may not be an appropriate in a small startup scenario, or for massive businesses where a lot of people need to changes the same document at the same time.

Retirement of Subitems, an element we are heavily invested in, is pending and could drive our decision to move elsewhere. Costs have stabilized, but we originally purchased a perpetual license which was not honored. Forced upgrade into a version that does not work well for the business may also require us to look at other software.
