Acumatica’s new Distribution Edition helps streamline supply chain processes
We know that price is a factor as you research our Distribution Edition. We’re pleased to announce that we’re providing Acumatica Distribution Edition at a bundled cost! This bundled pricing includes our Advanced Financials – General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Cash Management – along with the following software:
- Sales Order Management
- Inventory Management
- Requisition Management
- Purchase Order Management
- Advanced Fulfillment
Whether you hail from a retailer, manufacturer, or service provider perspective or you’re an exclusive wholesaler or distributor, you have very specific distribution needs; modern distribution software is critical for your overall supply chain management. Acumatica Distribution Edition – which contains our previous Distribution Management features – offers you the ability to manage your warehouse management, inventory management, and purchasing concerns while integrating these activities with your company’s financials and sales.
We introduced our new Acumatica Distribution Edition at Acumatica Summit 2018 to our more than 1,100 customers and partners. They were excited to see how our updated distribution ERP software will help streamline supply chain processes including two new features improving sales order workflow: 1) adding stock items directly to an invoice and updating inventory without creating a sales order or return and 2) being able to process an order in one click, keeping you updated throughout the process.
Depending on your business’ supply chain processes, you may need additional Acumatica cloud ERP software such as Advanced CRM, Commerce Integration, Field Service, Equipment Maintenance, Route Management, Intercompany Accounting, and Contracts. The good news is that you don’t have to figure this out on your own. Our partners are experts on what cloud ERP software you require; they’re readily available to answer your questions and to expertly assist you with the implementation process.
Acumatica’s cloud ERP solution also provides pre-built and integrated partner software for your specific needs. For example, SalesForce has the software to help you efficiently manage your many customers, representatives, opportunities, etc. and Avalara is a tax compliance solution – both of which integrate seamlessly with Acumatica. We have many more ISV partner solutions you can check out in our Extension Catalog.
