Advantages of Using Acumatica
Cloud Options that put the Power in your Hands
Acumatica gives you the option to choose how you want the software deployed: public cloud, hosted cloud (so you can keep your data in Canada) or on-premise. While Acumatica ERP software looks and performs like desktop software, it’s actually a web-based solution that doesn’t require any client software. This means it is inexpensively maintained and centrally managed. With all of its features accessible on any browser, it is 100% mobile, offering the same functionality across desktop computers, tablets or smartphones.
Adaptability
Acumatica is built specifically for mid-sized businesses. It’s designed to accommodate change as your business needs grow and develop. Benefit from full visibility of your business through one unified solution, with the ability to tailor your solution to meet your exact needs, no matter how specific your requirements are.
Unlimited Users
With unlimited users you can give everyone access – from remote workers to investors. Using role-based security to control access, the users all benefit from a centralized database & workflow center. This ensures all of your departments are on the same page and have access to real-time information, so they can all make sound business decisions.
Inclusive Licensing Allows for Unlimited Users
The cost of adding additional users is one of the biggest challenges with ERP solutions, and businesses are often limited to restricting access to a select handful of employees due to price barriers. Acumatica allows for unlimited users and since it is a web-based solution, users can gain access on any device with a browser without having to install special software. Salespeople can use it to view tasks, opportunities, and data for their particular accounts, regional office managers can view GL sub-accounts for their regions and even investors can benefit from access to information with dashboards and read-only screens.
Centralize Business Process Automation
Acumatica Financial Management Suite has unlimited users, so no one is left out of the loop and your organization finally has a single system to automate the way you operate. Acumatica includes a full suite of enterprise class business applications that are integrated with a document management system so all information is located in one place. Even with all of your data centralized in one system security isn’t compromised. Acumatica has advanced access controls so you can ensure that only authorized individuals or teams have the ability to view, edit, approve, or delete information.

Empower Decision Makers at Every Level
Acumatica Financial Management Suite Interactive role-based dashboards provide access to real-time information, and can be restricted based on who has the authority to see & change them and who doesn’t. Utilize dashboards for each user to show what needs their attention and what should take priority.
Gain Better Insight
Enhance decision making with Microsoft Power BI Visualizations that allow users to select the best format for the data and the situation, such as a data table, pie chart, traffic light or fuel gauge. Use different display types and data selections to explore and gain more insight into real-time data and utilize Acumatica’ extensive portfolio of prebuilt and customizable reports to ensure that the best decisions are being made for the organization.
Simple Personalization
Built-in web-based personalization tools allow users to change the appearance of screens, the business logic, and the database fields. Personalizations are stored separately from the core application code so they can be easily exported and updates & upgrades to the core application do not impact any existing personalizations. Additionally, Acumatica uses industry standard platforms and development tools which make it easy to find experts to make more advanced customizations to applications if required.
Easy to Maintain
All customizations are stored in the database so organizations can backup code changes and data with a single backup process. Since there is no client software to maintain, backups are managed centrally and are easy to maintain.
Effectively Manage & Track Projects, Cost and Budgets
Project Cost Tracking in Acumatica ERP software can automate the allocation of shared costs and overhead expenses to projects with formulas, and give organizations a total view of all costs related to a project including materials, labor, services, and inventory items.
