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

I am the ERP Specialist for the company. We just went live with Acumatica in January. I am the on staff support for the ERP system. I know this will be a huge benefit to this company. I'm excited about our future. As a consumer goods company, leveraging SPS Commerce with our EDI customers has already started to show its value.

Pros

Ease of use.
All in one.
Adaptable
Access from anywhere.
User friendly.

Cons

CPG
Form reports being exported to Excel without the lines.
Importing of GL Detail from other systems.

Return on Investment

More efficient system.
User adoption was effortless.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acumatica in our core business management platforms to centralize financials, operations and reporting across the company, where the platform supports day to day transactions needs along with providing real-time visibility around cost and operational efficiency. It has automated manual workings, disjoined processes and scattered functions into one umbrella, leading time saving and process optimisation. It's cost model doesn't charge per user making it easy to scale with the platform for mid-size companies like us. Real-time integrated data across various processes in the form of KPI can be tracked on real-time basis leading in-formed decision making. It also allows faster closure and accurate financial reporting.

Pros

Real-time access to financials across firm's locations in India for better in-house sales, cost and financial health analysis
The tool is great with respect to the creation of dashboards and KPI reporting to get visual picture of profitability and cash flow metrics across projects

Cons

Acumatica's open API is very powerful but doesn't get integrated cleanly across every external system, challenge arises with integration of legacy systems
Some of the platform feature's requires third-party add-ons or custom developments like advance finance report & BI.
Sometimes it gets glitch in the system leading slower processing speed

Return on Investment

It has fastened up the efficiency and better insights around financial decision making with respect to real time data around project financials with dashboards, which earlier use to take more time due to scattered functionalities, leading faster time to value in core workflows
Productivity has boosted due to automation and workflow standardisation (notifications and event triggers), reduced manual working, leading saving of man hours and bring efficiency in human capital function within organisation

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Return on Investment

Positive. Again, it is just that insight that everybody can see. Whether it's my sales guy that's on the show floor that's looking at it at his mobile app, or if it's me in the office logging in every single day, I know what our inventory is. I'm never worried about if we have enough product or where everyone is at. It has it all.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Acumatica as an all-encompassing solution that covers Sales Orders, Shipping, Purchasing, Accounting (AP/AR), Manufacturing, and more! We are really using this to currently heal our inventory processes and accuracy as we had loosely kept track thru Excel prior to Acumatica. Other things that we use it for where we had issues were tracking quotes, submission of 2D & 3D design for our products and trackable purchase receipts and shipments.

Pros

The data is very flexible, you are almost able to do anything with the data if you can establish the right relations.
The UI is very friendly and easy on the eyes, compared to our last ERP which I coined as a "List of lists" where drop-down menus lead to drop-down menus.
Dashboards and keeping everything as a single source of truth.

Cons

Mass updating existing BOMs or Production Order Details. For larger orders, especially if many things need to be changed it can take a painstakingly long time to update each production order one-by-one.
The product configurator is too flat, we definitely need nested configurations that can capture variable subassemblies.
Accounting has room for improvement, I don't really like the idea of SO Invoices living in a separate spot until they are Released. I have had complaints from our accounting personnel since they have to leave the "Accounting World".

Return on Investment

We are able to send automated notifications through business Events, which ensures that information travels seamlessly and without the possibility of someone forgetting an email.
We save time being able to read our demand and level it against our current inventory qty on hand and our supply to make better strategic decisions when purchasing.
Better our business and see our pitfalls that were once hidden in our factory by establishing an On-Time Delivery system within a generic inquiry that uses data that is readily available in Acumatica.
