Overview:

Acumatica Distribution Management Suite

Acumatica is the first Cloud ERP solution designed for mid-sized distributors with complex financial, operational, and reporting requirements. Because Acumatica is web-based, users can work from any location and access dashboards, reports, and screens that can be customize to meet individual needs. Acumatica applications look and perform like desktop applications, yet they do not require IT knowledge, an IT infrastructure or client software to be installed.

Acumatica easily handles the complexities of distribution, such as purchasing, ordering, tracking inventory, filing orders, and delivering customer support. Detailed access controls assures that only authorized users can see specific screens, reports and objects. Customization tools allow authorized users to change the appearance, business logic and data fields associated with their deployment. Web-based means it can be implemented faster and maintained for less money than traditional client-server applications.

Also, unlike pure SaaS solutions, Acumatica allows switching between SaaS and on-premise deployments as business needs change. The solution can be purchased and installed in-house or as a service (SaaS), hosted in a facility the distributor chooses or with Acumatica in the Microsoft Windows Azure datacenters.

Acumatica Distribution Mangement Suite provides:

Acumatica allows optimizing quotes, acceptance, entering, and filling orders to reduce order times and minimize costs. Complexities such as multiple warehouses, returns, credit limits, drop shipments, and more are easily managed.
