Endless Acumatica
Acumatica is so much more than just an ERP. There is so much that goes into it and so much that you can utilize. When we talk about Acumatica, we aren’t just talking about the CRM or any other part of the software, we are talking about Acumatica’s business as a whole. Acumatica really values customers and spends a large amount of time putting in the effort to make sure that each customer gets what they need and how they need it.
Acumatica Editions
Acumatica Cloud ERP breaks down into five editions to make a more tailored and industry specific package for each customer that uses the product. The editions are as follows:
• Manufacturing Edition
• Retail-Commerce Edition

The Manufacturing Edition is a multi-site cloud manufacturing control and planning system. It breaks down into two suites: the Advanced Finance Suite and the Distribution Suite. To further break down the edition, Acumatica has tailored the product to customers with Advanced Financials and the Standard Manufacturing Editions. Each of these tailored editions makes the product a better fit for each customer that is using Acumatica.
Acumatica’s Retail-Commerce Edition allows you to manage omnichannel orders, the picking-packing-shipping process, customer support, inventory, returns, and accounting. This edition has the Advanced Financials and Distribution Suite.
The Distribution Edition allows customers to manage inventory, streamline sales orders, enhance purchasing, calculate true costs, and automate cross-company transactions. The Distribution Edition is a great solution for wholesale distributors. It has two suites: the Finance Suite and the Distribution Suite.
The Acumatica Construction Edition has streamlined project management, powerful financials and reporting, integrated payroll, inventory, service management, and comprehensive job cost accounting. This edition has the Advanced Financial Suite and the Distribution Suite created for Acumatica.
The last edition Acumatica has is the General Business Edition. It helps customers cohesively use Financials, CRM, Project Accounting, and Reporting all in one place.

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.
Acumatica 2021 R2 New Feature Review: Visibility of Project Transactions
With Acumatica 2021 R2 we can now limit the visibility of certain account groups to a group of users. This means we can limit users’ ability to drill down into a labor account group so they can’t see other employees’ hourly rates and wages. Other users may have different rights that would allow them to drill down and see this information.
