Benefits of Acumatica Industry-Specific ERP Solution

Acumatica Cloud ERP is highly regarded by companies in all industries, including companies in the wholesale and commerce space.

Here are benefits of cloud ERP solutions by Acumatica. 

Globally-accessible ERP solution

One of the key benefits of Acumatica Cloud ERP is the fact that it can be accessed from anywhere in the world where an Internet connection is available. Compare this with traditional ERP solutions which can only be utilized on company premises. 

Remote IT infrastructure

With Acumatica Cloud ERP, companies do not have to be concerned about maintaining expensive and complicated IT hardware in order to run their ERP software solution. Acumatica Cloud ERP is operated off-site in secure data centers. Professional engineers ensure that Acumatica Cloud ERP is operational for and usable by Acumatica customers at all times.

Industry-specific editions

Another key benefit of Acumatica Cloud ERP is that it has developed various and industry-specific editions, including editions for the wholesale and commerce industries. Being developed in industry-specific editions allows Acumatica Cloud ERP to integrate powerful features and functionalities without introducing needless complexity into the software.

Expert data security and backup

Companies care immensely about safeguarding their business data, and rightfully so. Acumatica takes this concern of companies seriously. Company data stored in Acumatica Cloud ERP is constantly backed up. Further, Acumatica Cloud ERP is monitored 24x7x365 by experienced Acumatica engineers for data corruption and unusual activity. 

Should the need ever arise, Acumatica engineers are trained in following disaster recovery best practices to make sure companies are back up and running as quickly as possible.

Why You Need an Industry-Specific ERP Solution

With industry-specific ERP solutions like Acumatica Cloud ERP Wholesale and Commerce Editions, companies immediately see an improvement in business efficiency and productivity.

General ERP solutions require extensive customization and configuration in order for companies to begin using them. One of the reasons for this is that general ERP solutions typically include only features and functionality that are used across all industries, such as creating and tracking purchase orders and invoices.

On the other hand, industry-specific ERP solutions include both the general and advanced features and functionality.

For example, the Acumatica Cloud ERP Wholesale and Commerce Editions integrate modern point of sale (POS) and fulfilment features into the software.

Industry-specific ERP Solutions Scale with Your Business

Acumatica Cloud ERP, with its industry-specific editions, is designed and licensed to scale with your business.

Unique to Acumatica Cloud ERP is its licensing model, which is based on features and functionality used, rather than on the number of users accessing the software. This puts less financial burden on companies as they grow in size since they do not have to purchase a new license for each employee added to the company.

General ERP software solutions require a license for each new user. As such, companies often will not enable new hires to benefit from the ERP solution in order to avoid incurring the additional cost of a license.

Increase Speed, Performance, and Efficiency

Companies that have implemented Acumatica Cloud ERP and have adopted it into their day-to-day business operations see increases in speed, performance, and efficiency.

  • Increase in speed: By using Acumatica Cloud ERP, company management is able to more quickly make strategic business decisions than companies that do not use Acumatica Cloud ERP. Acumatica Cloud ERP provides management with accurate reports and information in real time, all in a single interface.

    The performance increase that Acumatica Cloud ERP provides companies stems from the ability of the software to process vast amounts of data for in-depth analysis.

But with Acumatica Cloud ERP, business data is centralized, allowing for greater insight to be derived from that data.

  • Increase in efficiency:
    The centralization of data with Acumatica Cloud ERP not only increases the performance of business operations, it increases efficiency as well.
