User Review
( votes)Not all ERP platforms are created equal. Acumatica, an agile, cloud-based ERP system delivers key improvements over monolithic, legacy ERP platforms, and a recent article from Nucleus Research further solidified this fact, showcasing three key areas where Acumatica outshone its competitors.
Automation Makes a Difference
One of the biggest time-sinks for Small to Medium Sized Businesses (SMBs) is data entry. Manually entering data into spreadsheets or databases is a tedious, morale-killing activity for many employees, and a cost-savings opportunity for most companies. Acumatica ERP gives businesses the ability to automate many of these processes for a quicker, more cost and time efficient workflow. A client cited in the paper noted that by automating order management they freed up sales rep to focus on customer interaction, seeing an increase in customer satisfaction alongside the expected improvements in order processing time. Another client reported with automation of reminders their Day Sales Outstanding reduced from 52 to 10, showing that processing time is not the only process impacted by Acumatica’s powerful automation tools.
Everyone Can See Everything – Visibility and Reporting
Many legacy ERP systems keep data cyloed- the financial department can access sales records, but not see inventory, for example. With Acumatica this is not the case- all users have access to the same data, and what’s more, it is accessible from any internet-connected device, ensuring that the information is always up to date. This means that executives are no longer in danger of making a poor decision due to out-of-date information and warehouses are always able to know exactly what they have (or don’t have) in stock. This data is displayed in real-time dashboards with drill-down ability, allowing for users to dig in and find the exact information they need.
In tandem with this Acumatica boasts an award-winning suite of reporting functionality. With dozens of “out of the box” options as well as the ability to commission custom reports Acumatica offers its customers a wealth of options for aggregating and displaying their data.
Scalability and Agility – the Key to Growth
SMBs often face challenges in scaling their operations- they need a platform that can grow with them without breaking their budget with unnecessary costs at startup. Acumatica not only offers flexible pricing models at launch but also features extended support to help scale and grow with the business. A key factor in the pricing is that it is usage-based, not user based, meaning that companies are not facing steep costs to set up all their employees- they are only paying for the work actually done in the platform.
Another key cost savings that many SMBs will find appealing is the agile, cloud-based nature of the platform, eliminating the need for bulky and expensive on-site servers.
These three considerations are but the most pressing of many benefits that Acumatica ERP has over its competitors. SMBs from across various industries can embrace modernity and upgrade to an agile, cloud-based system and reap the rewards.
