Acumatica Gold Certified Partner
Cloud ERP built for project-driven, manufacturing-heavy space companies, where every labor hour, part, and milestone ties back to the contract.
Schedule a Free ConsultationA small satellite goes from concept to orbit on a budget that leaves no room for guesswork. Every labor hour, every machined part, every milestone payment ties back to a contract that someone, somewhere, is going to audit. Finance teams in the space industry carry that weight. The CFO closing the books, the project accountant reconciling costs against a fixed-price build, the administrator keeping the whole system connected and secure. Each of them needs numbers they can trust, the moment they need them.
That is the problem Acumatica was built to solve. It is a cloud ERP made for project-driven, manufacturing-heavy organizations, and it fits the way aerospace and SmallSat companies actually operate.
Find the resources below that match your role, and see how Polaris Business Solutions helps space-industry teams run on a system that keeps up with them.
Why Polaris
Polaris Business Solutions has spent close to two decades helping organizations replace spreadsheets and aging accounting tools with modern ERP. We implement Acumatica, optimize the systems already in place, train the people who use them, and stay on after go-live when questions come up. That means cleaner data, faster closes, and a clear view of where every project stands.
Companies in the space sector come to us with a familiar set of problems:
Acumatica's consumption-based licensing is worth a separate mention. You pay for the transaction volume your business generates, not per seat, so adding a new engineer, accountant, or program manager to the system costs nothing extra. For a growing satellite company, that matters.
Industries we support
Bill of materials, MRP, production control, and engineering change orders sit in the same system as your general ledger and inventory. When a design revision hits the shop floor, the cost and schedule impact flows straight through to the financials.
Engineering, finance, and program management work from one record instead of three spreadsheets that never quite agree. That's what lets a company iterate quickly without losing track of margin.
Track costs by project and task, capture contract-allowable labor through time entry, allocate indirect costs, and keep the audit trail intact. When the contracting officer or an auditor asks for backup, it's already there.
Business owner / CEO
You're steering growth and guarding margin at the same time, and you can't do either on stale numbers. What you need is a live read on the business: which programs are profitable, where cash is going, and whether the forecast still holds. Acumatica gives you role-based dashboards built on live transaction data, not last night's export. Project profitability, cash position, pipeline, and program performance are a login away, on a laptop or a phone.
Accounting Team
Your team is the part of the organization that has to be right. Closing the month, standing up an audit, recognizing revenue on a percentage-of-completion contract, consolidating a handful of entities. None of it leaves much margin for error, and most legacy systems make it harder than it needs to be. Project costs post against budgets in real time, with drill-down to the transaction when a variance needs explaining. Revenue recognition follows the method the contract calls for. The Deferred Revenue module keeps you aligned with ASC 606. Multi-entity consolidation and intercompany eliminations run natively, no bolt-on required, which means month-end stops being a fire drill.
System administrator
You're the reason the whole thing stays up, connected, and locked down. User roles and permissions, integrations to the tools the company already runs, workflow automation, performance under load. It all lands on you. The xRP platform lets you customize screens and logic with low-code rather than a developer queue, an open API handles the integrations, and granular role security keeps access where it belongs. The resources here are technical and practical: how to get the most out of the platform while spending less of your week firefighting.
Whether this is your first ERP or a replacement for the system that got you this far, we'll walk through how your contracts, production, and reporting actually work today, show you where Acumatica holds up against that, and tell you plainly where it falls short. Our consultants know aerospace, and they know this platform.
