Manufacturers: Why is Acumatica Cloud ERP Your Best Choice?

It’s a competitive marketplace, and the typical customer isn’t as concerned with whether your operation is large or small as with the level of service you can deliver. The big shops set the bar high – so as a small to midsized manufacturer, you need to meet it or exceed it. That’s no easy task, especially with rising costs and narrowing margins. It’s time to optimize and streamline and that’s where Acumatica, the #1 cloud-based ERP solution for manufacturing, comes in.

Why Acumatica for Manufacturing?

Because Acumatica has a special edition designed with your unique needs in mind: Acumatica Manufacturing Edition. Imagine having everything integrated in one centralized system: manufacturing processes, inventory management, accounting, and more! You get a 360 degree view of your whole operation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“[With Acumatica,] we can look at the data when we want it and how we want it, and make better decisions about which products we should be selling where, and which products we should drop, and which products we should promote.” – Manufacturer using Acumatica (Learn More!)

What will it help you achieve?

• Track availability of raw materials: Avoid shortages without excess inventory
• End-to-end process control: Production scheduling, equipment downtime
• Fast, accurate, and effortless estimates: On-the-fly BoM revision control
• Detailed cost calculating and financials: Track business health and make smart decisions
• Full visibility and control from anywhere, in real time: Available on any device, giving you a window into operations, productivity, and supply chain availability, removing obstacles to production and keeping you agile.

“It’s robust, it’s flexible, it’s simple. It also has an API so, as you need to connect into it, there’s an ability for that. What we’re excited about is [getting] good dashboarding software… and good analytics to make really quality decisions.” – Manufacturer using Acumatica

How does it help us to ‘work smarter, not harder’?

The most astute leaders in manufacturing today recognize that replacing old, inefficient business processes with streamlined workflows keeps production at optimum levels while reducing error and waste – all beneficial to your bottom line.

“I can take a laptop or a tablet into the warehouse and I can access Acumatica in that way. We’re able to use handheld scanners to pick and pack inventory for orders and those items are live-traced and allocated, so our company can see that transparency of inventory numbers.” – Manufacturer using Acumatica

What are some of the tools available to you in Acumatica?

• Customizable Dashboards: See your data at a glance and take action by tapping into the power of natural language queries and Power BI.
• EDI and Barcoding Integrations: Automate data exchange and reduce errors
• Configurable approval and workflow engines: Get alerts that keep you from falling behind
• Document Management: Stop searching all over your network – Keep critical information in one place, accessible anywhere and at any time.

“We require a system that allows us to work with international distributors, but also have insight into inventory in different locations and what’s on PO. Having one source of truth in Acumatica is massively helpful because there’s no one now who has to go searching for the truth. It’s all right there at their fingertips. – Manufacturer using Acumatica

There’s something else that sets Acumatica apart from all the rest: A sensible pricing model. Most ERP solutions charge you per user – making you choose between your budget and actually getting the most out of the product. Instead, Acumatica is priced based on resource usage, meaning you can give access to not just your employees, but even your vendors, suppliers, customers, and partners without paying user licensing fees. Why would you do that, you ask? Simple – they can get the routine information they need directly, freeing up your internal staff to focus on production and operations.
