Loan Book Dashboard Overview
Like Acumatica, AcuLoan has its own dashboard that can be configured to best fit your needs. This dashboard is configured and designed the same as any other dashboard in Acumatica using the design feature along the top right-hand side of the screen (you can see this in the screenshot above). The AcuLoan dashboard is called the Loan Book Overview.
In the photo below, users will see what the Loan Book Overview dashboard looks like and what tiles are and graphs are available to configure.
On the Loan Book Overview Dashboard, there are several configurable tiles. These help users to see an overview of their loans and accounts in AcuLoan. In this specific dashboard view you can see several things:
• Total Book Value
• Advanced Payments Disbursed
• Receipts Payments Received
• Different Trends – deal size and capitalized interest
• Actual vs. Budget – Income
• View of Certain Loans
There are several other items that can be included on a dashboard for AcuLoan. These tiles and graphs have many customization options. The colors can be changed as well as the thresholds which prompt the tile to “alert.” Dashboards in the AcuLoan program from Acumatica are a great way to get an overview of what is happening in the system. These dashboards can be configured one time for multiple users to see.
If you think you could use a dashboard like this for your loan data, please contact Polaris Business Solutions; info@polaris-business.com.

Who is Acumatica?
Who is Acumatica? A lot of the focus usually goes on what a company like this does or what it can provide. What makes Acumatica different from other companies is that it goes beyond just what services it provides.
Acumatica was founded in 2008 in the city of Bellevue, WA. The company quickly grew and received recognition almost right away. In 2009 on-premises and SaaS software versions were released and then in 2010 distribution software came into play. Shortly after they were beginning to receive awards, and the company that you know today, was getting a name for itself. Acumatica is currently the fastest-growing Cloud ERP Company with offices all over the world in countries like Thailand, South Africa, and the UK.
The founders of Acumatica are Mike Chtchelkinogov and Solomon Software co-founders Serguei Beloussov and John Howell. Jon Roskill, the CEO of the company pushes the company to provide, and to grow. This means for each person in the company, and for each customer of the company.
Some of the recognition Acumatica has received dates back to 2012 when the company was named a Top 100 Global Finalist by Red Herring, and later on also being first in the Top 20 Coolest Cloud Vendors by CRN. Acumatica has been the best software publisher that we have worked with. They go above and beyond to meet needs, exceed expectations, and dive headfirst into the technological advancements in our time. We trust Acumatica and know that they are a company that will continue to succeed.
