What are some benefits of Acumatica Cloud ERP?

Here are 12 benefits of Acumatica Cloud ERP software that can be utilized to help scale your business. 

Comprehensive business functionality

Acumatica Cloud ERP enables company management to have a broad, yet comprehensive overview of business operations. This allows management to more rapidly identify and remedy shortfalls that are occurring in different processes. Further, many error-prone, routine tasks can be automated by using Acumatica Cloud ERP.

Integrated services

Using multiple business software suites to get work done often creates unnecessary delays and other problems resulting from, for example, unexpected issues when converting file formats. With Acumatica Cloud ERP, services are integrated to allow seamless use and sharing of data between different software functions.

Access from anywhere

Being a Cloud-based business software solution, Acumatica Cloud ERP can be accessed and used from anywhere in the world where an Internet connection is available. Acumatica Cloud ERP works well with all mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets.

Self-service

Users of Acumatica Cloud ERP are not burdened with installing, updating, and configuring software. Implementation and maintenance of Acumatica Cloud ERP is handled by trained Acumatica engineers.

Central repository for information

Once Acumatica Cloud ERP is implemented for a business, all of the data generated by the various business departments are centralized into a single database. This helps to eliminate time wasted on activities such as exchanging emails and searching for files.

Integrate with other web apps

Acumatica Cloud ERP integrates with other web applications so that data does not need to be copied and reentered. Through its ability to integrate with other web applications, Acumatica Cloud ERP users are able to continue using the applications they are familiar with while still being able to benefit from the functionality provided by Acumatica Cloud ERP.

Scalable computer and storage resources

Traditional ERP software, which operates on company-owned servers and other IT equipment, cannot be easily scaled. When additional resources are needed, the company is forced to make expensive upgrades to the existing IT infrastructure. With Acumatica Cloud ERP, resources can be scaled up or down as needed.

Data backup and data recovery

The trained engineers who service Acumatica Cloud ERP are professionals at reliably backing up and restoring vital business data. Unlike businesses that use traditional ERP software, businesses that use Acumatica Cloud ERP do not have to worry about creating and maintaining the integrity of their own company data backups.

Robust security

Acumatica Cloud ERP is regularly audited for any issues that might have an effect on the security of the software. Software updates are automatically installed. With traditional ERP software, the user is responsible for making sure the operating system (OS) and other software is updated.

Financial predictability

Most ERP software is licensed on a per-user basis. This means that as a business grows, it has to pay more and more for its ERP solution. Acumatica has taken a different approach to how it licenses its software. Acumatica Cloud ERP licenses are priced depending on features used, rather than on the number of users. Accordingly, businesses that use Acumatica Cloud ERP can grow without the additional expense of purchasing additional software licenses.

Operational consistency

Since Acumatica Cloud ERP is hosted in the Cloud, it runs on latest-generation, enterprise-grade servers and network equipment. Further, these servers are hosted in different geographic locations, ensuring maximum uptime even in the event of natural disasters or other disruptions outside of the control of Acumatica.

Local service

Finally, businesses that have implemented Acumatica Cloud ERP always have local support from an Acumatica Cloud ERP partner, such as Projects Analytics. With Acumatica Cloud ERP, users are never left stranded waiting for a support call to be answered, or waiting for an email to be replied to.
