Cloud ERP Leader Helps Construction Firms Optimize Business Management Processes with Integrated, Scalable Solutions

Bellevue, Wash., – May 13, 2025 — At the 2025 Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) Annual Conference, held May 17–21 in Kissimmee, Fla., Acumatica Cloud ERP will demonstrate how modern construction firms are retiring outdated, disconnected business management processes and replacing them with an agile, cloud-based ERP platform built to support the entire project lifecycle and address the construction industry’s most pressing needs.

As a featured CFMA exhibitor and gold sponsor, Acumatica will host live product demos, expert-led forums and hands-on collaboration with industry partners. The cloud ERP leader will highlight how its Construction Edition delivers full project lifecycle visibility, cost control and strategic financial oversight, enabling growing firms to scale confidently.

“Today’s construction firms are navigating complex projects, tighter margins and rising customer expectations,” said Joel Hoffman, director of product management at Acumatica. “Financial leaders need tools that deliver real-time insights, strengthen team collaboration and support fast, confident decision-making. Acumatica delivers the visibility and control required to lead with precision and drive long-term success.”

Acumatica Construction Edition supports every phase of the project lifecycle, from preconstruction with invitation to bid, takeoff and estimating to scheduling, complete project management and project closeout, all within a single offering. The solution unifies field and office operations while delivering real-time insights across departments, empowering small and mid-sized businesses to grow and achieve stronger business performance.

Through strategic partnerships with trusted industry solutions like STACK and JobPlanner, Acumatica ensures construction firms can manage preconstruction and resource scheduling alongside the same platform that houses job costing, budgeting, payroll and reporting. This level of integration helps eliminate data silos, reduce manual entry and improve collaboration across teams, empowering leaders to make better, faster decisions from the jobsite to the back office. These strategic partnerships are central to Acumatica’s channel-driven approach.

“STACK’s integration with Acumatica brings takeoff and estimating directly into the ERP ecosystem,” said Ray DeZenzo, president of STACK. “Together, we help construction firms get accurate bids out faster and better align field and office teams from day one.”

“JobPlanner improves project delivery and ensures a seamless connection to financial and operational data,” said DeWayne Adamson, CEO of JobPlanner. “Through our partnership with Acumatica, contractors gain leading-edge field tools, including easy management of project drawings. Together, these tools enable full visibility into labor, tasks and resources, helping construction teams stay on time and within budget.”

To discover how these powerful integrations can transform construction operations, Acumatica invites CFMA attendees to visit booth No. 113 for a firsthand look at Acumatica Construction Edition in action. Representatives from JobPlanner and STACK will be present throughout the event to demonstrate real-world workflows and answer questions from financial leaders evaluating new solutions.

For construction firms unable to attend CFMA but interested in exploring the benefits of cloud ERP, Acumatica’s new APEX Construction Pricing Calculator offers a personalized cost estimate based on your business’s unique needs, making the path to modern ERP clearer and more accessible than ever.

Collaboration Through Homes of Hope Highlights How Business Partnerships Can Also Create Meaningful Social Impact

Bellevue, Wash., – April 28, 2025 — Acumatica, the leading cloud-based business management software provider, has partnered with value-added reseller Concentrus and international nonprofit Homes of Hope to build a new home for a family in need in Baja California, Mexico. Acumatica funded the cost of the home, which volunteers from Concentrus constructed in two days. The project represents a powerful example of how business relationships can extend beyond the boardroom to create lasting change.

The two-bedroom home—built earlier this month over three days, April 3–5—features a concrete foundation, electricity, plumbing, basic furnishings, a refrigerator and a kitchen cooktop. For the receiving family, it marks a dramatic shift from living in survival conditions to having a secure, stable place to call “home”.

“At Acumatica, we believe our impact should extend beyond our software solutions,” said John Case, CEO of Acumatica. “Supporting initiatives like this allows us to invest in the well-being of communities and demonstrate the real-world impact that values-driven partnerships can have. Working alongside Concentrus and Homes of Hope is a powerful example of how business can be a force for good and how together, we can make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Over the past several years, Concentrus and Acumatica have forged a strong relationship, delivering cloud ERP solutions to growing businesses, including construction ERP software, manufacturing ERP systems and distribution management solutions. In a meaningful extension of their professional relationship, Concentrus invited Acumatica to participate in the Homes of Hope building project. For the Concentrus team, the experience was both emotionally moving and a rewarding opportunity to build stronger connections with each other while giving back.

“It’s incredible what can happen in just one weekend. We came to build a house, but left with something far greater: connection, empathy and a shared sense of purpose,” said Jesse Guzman, ERP practice director at Concentrus. “Acumatica’s generous donation empowered us to provide more than a structure; we gave a family hope and a foundation for their future. It brought our team together in ways that will resonate long after the build.”

Homes of Hope, founded in 1990, is a program of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) San Diego/Baja and has constructed more than 9,000 homes for families in over 30 nations. The organization views providing homes as a transformational act that helps break the cycle of poverty while offering volunteers meaningful experiences that expand their worldview.

“Corporate partnerships like this are vital to expanding our mission,” said Sean Lambert, founder of Homes of Hope. “When a family moves from instability to a stable home, we see remarkable transformations: improved health, educational stability for children and a renewed sense of dignity and possibility. Acumatica and Concentrus have helped one family rewrite their story, and the ripple effect of that act will last for generations.”

Cloud ERP Company Sets the Standard for AI Innovation with “AI That Works for You”

Bellevue, Wash., – March 5, 2025 — Fresh off its Summit 2025 event, Acumatica today shared more details about its vision and strategy to evolve cloud-based ERP solutions with AI-driven capabilities, delivering solutions specifically designed to help small and mid-sized businesses achieve meaningful transformation.

According to a recent IBM report, global AI adoption has surged from 50% to 72% in the past year, with industries like professional services seeing the most significant growth. Businesses are implementing AI and realizing measurable benefits, from cost reductions to revenue growth in key areas such as supply chain management, marketing and product development.

As AI adoption accelerates across industries, companies need trusted, practical, secure innovations that drive real business impact. Acumatica is bringing AI out of theory and into action by integrating intelligent automation in ERP systems to help growing businesses work smarter, operate more efficiently and compete more effectively.

“AI in ERP is about more than just efficiency—it’s about arming businesses with the power of AI for greater intelligence, agility, resilience and growth,” said Ali Jani, chief product officer of Acumatica. “What sets Acumatica apart is our unwavering commitment to addressing the needs of our customers. While others rush AI to market to serve their interests, we focus on capabilities that solve real-world problems. Our customer-first approach has always defined our culture. It’s core to our AI innovation strategy—co-creating with our Community to help businesses work smarter, compete effectively and secure a stronger future.”

While other tech vendors prioritize speed over substance in releasing AI features, Acumatica is using AI to reshape ERP in three key ways:

1. AI as an Intelligent Advisor – Offering strategic insights, identifying inefficiencies and flagging discrepancies in patterns to optimize decision-making. An Intelligent Advisor is already available in the 2024 R2 version of Acumatica in the form of Anomaly Detection.
2. AI-Driven Automation – Streamlining workflows allows businesses to operate faster and more accurately. Invoice Categorization and the upcoming Case Resolution Summary Generation are examples of AI Automation in Acumatica Cloud ERP.
3. Interactive AI Assistants – Through a modern user interface, providing intuitive, human-like interactions to enhance productivity and user engagement. Acumatica’s Interactive Assistant is in the works to make AI-driven ERP a digital coworker for SMBs in 2025 and beyond.

With the introduction of Acumatica AI Studio, the company is putting the power of AI into the hands of businesses. Acumatica AI Studio empowers users to create AI-driven workflows, optimize decision-making and leverage automation without requiring technical expertise. By making AI accessible to business users, Acumatica is driving a new era of intelligent ERP tailored to the needs of small and mid-sized businesses.

“In this exciting new era of AI innovation, businesses need a trusted partner who really understands their unique needs and puts their interests first,” said Miten Mehta, chief engineering officer of Acumatica. “Our secure, scalable platform is designed to deliver the latest innovations, and our AI-first approach focuses on how technology can best address their challenges. Whether it’s anomaly detection in manufacturing or intelligent assistants in construction, we engineer our AI solutions for real, measurable impact.”

New Strategic Partnerships, AI Innovations and Product Vision Highlighted at Community Event

Las Vegas, NV. – January 27, 2025 — Acumatica CEO John Case opened the company’s annual Summit today by rallying developers, partners and customers to leverage the latest AI-enabled innovations to spur elevated business performance and long-term success.

“When I speak with customers and partners, what stands out is the importance of performance,” said Case. “At Acumatica, we constantly ask ourselves how we can help our customers achieve the exceptional results they seek. We are the business system that brings together their data, tasks and people so they can operate at their peak. And innovations like AI can be performance amplifiers that help businesses overcome real-world issues.”

The Day 1 Keynote address announced a series of strategic partnerships and performance-driving innovations, shared inspiring customer stories and discussed future plans.

Partnerships Unify Business Processes

Reflecting Acumatica’s dedication to evolving its partner ecosystem to better leverage new technologies and address changing customer needs, Case announced a strategic alliance with ADP, a global leader in payroll and human capital management solutions. The collaboration enables businesses to combine the power of Acumatica Cloud ERP with ADP’s industry-leading payroll, talent management and HR solutions to access an end-to-end solution that unifies core business processes, streamlines operations and enhances decision-making with real-time data.

Case also announced the expansion of Acumatica’s partnership with Shopify. Combining Shopify’s commerce capabilities with Acumatica’s comprehensive ERP platform allows merchants to seamlessly manage their entire business, from online storefront to backend operations, all in one ecosystem.

Strategic AI Enables Business Performance

Acumatica Chief Engineering Officer Miten Mehta joined Case onstage to dive deeper into how Acumatica enables customers to optimize performance through strategic technology investments. Mehta outlined the key technologies that enable business performance: data that is accurate, available, unified, secure and private; insights that help decision-makers forecast and plan; an open and extensible platform and intuitive user experience; workflow and automation to increase efficiency; and integration to streamline operations. Mehta emphasized that AI multiplies the effectiveness of all these performance enablers.

Through demos and presentations, the company shared its vision of delivering AI innovations in three key areas that will help organizations elevate performance:

1. AI as an intelligent advisor that provides valuable insights, identifies issues and suggests actions, such as anomaly detection, which the company introduced in its latest product release. ​
2. Automation in workflows like invoice categorization, where AI gets the job done with or without human intervention. ​
3. Interactive assistance that helps users improve productivity through a human-like interface.

All three areas are instrumental in helping Acumatica deliver on its vision of developing an ERP system that can serve as a digital coworker for small and mid-sized businesses.

Cloud ERP Powers Real-World Growth and Impact

The Day 1 Keynote highlighted how customer needs shape product innovation, showcasing growing businesses leveraging future-ready technologies and data to make strategic decisions and achieve sustainable growth. One example is Acumatica’s Customer of the Year, Eastman Music Company. Founded in 1992, Eastman Music Company has grown from selling three violins to operating 14 companies worldwide that manufacture and distribute premium musical instruments. Using Acumatica Cloud ERP, the company has doubled revenues since 2019 while streamlining operations across its global manufacturing and distribution network.

“Enabling musicians to perform at their highest level is at the core of our business,” said Ralph Torres, vice president of operations at Eastman Music Company. “Acumatica helps us master the fundamentals of our operations, allowing us to deliver instruments with greater precision and reliability and ultimately support musicians’ performance worldwide.”

Case also reiterated Acumatica’s commitment to sustainability, a core pillar of the company’s AcumatiCares program, by naming Republic Services Impact Customer of the Year. Republic Services, a 42,000-employee waste management leader, has launched an ambitious initiative to transform plastics recycling with its new Polymer Center in Las Vegas. The company implemented Acumatica Cloud ERP in just two and a half months to manage this groundbreaking facility, which processes 80,000 tons of plastics annually.

“We needed a system that would help facilitate the acquisition and processing of materials, quality control and distribution,” said Joe Riconosciuto, director of materials marketing and recycling at Republic Services. “Acumatica’s ease of implementation, nimble nature and great user experience have been essential to managing the massive breadth and scale of recyclable plastics at our Polymer Center.”

Acumatica Summit 2026 Moves to Larger, State-of-the-Art Venue

Acumatica Summit 2025 gathered more than 3,500 customers, partners, employees, analysts and media for its fifth year in Las Vegas, marking a milestone as attendance has increased by 40% since the event’s first year in the city. Summit 2025 features over 100 breakout sessions, providing attendees valuable insights and hands-on learning opportunities.

Case concluded the Day 1 Keynote by announcing that Acumatica Summit 2026 will be held in Seattle, Wash. The move to the Seattle Convention Center’s Summit building addresses the continued growth of the Acumatica Community, which has outpaced the capacity of previous venues. The state-of-the-art Summit building offers 573,770 square feet of flexible event space, including a 58,000-square-foot ballroom, and expansive naturally lit spaces that will foster the collaborative, innovative environment that defines Acumatica Summit.

Acumatica customers Mid-States Companies, IOC Construction and Happy Valley Embrace Cloud ERP to Transform Operations and Accelerate Success

Bellevue, Wash. – January 13, 2025 — An increasing number of small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) are outgrowing their basic accounting software due to evolving operational needs. For many organizations, graduating to a comprehensive cloud ERP solution such as Acumatica is a pivotal step in overcoming growing pains, including managing complex financial processes, accessing data for better decision-making and driving operational efficiency for long-term success.

“An improving economic environment has resulted in more companies telling us they’ve maxed out on their ‘starter,’ or legacy accounting software and need something more from their business management solution,” said John Case, CEO of Acumatica. “To navigate the challenges of rapid expansion, these businesses are looking to move beyond static and disconnected data with technology that delivers real-time insights, seamless automation and the ability to scale without limits. Our cloud ERP platform is built specifically to meet those needs.”

Mid-States Companies, IOC Construction and Happy Valley are just three of the hundreds of organizations that have taken their business to the next level by transitioning to Acumatica Cloud ERP.

Mid-States Companies

In 2020, a powerful land hurricane hit several Midwest states, which resulted in $11.9 billion in damages, including 90,000 square miles of agricultural land rife with grain silos, hay storage facilities, barns and agricultural equipment. Although devastating, the destruction created new opportunities for construction firms. Among them was Mid-States Companies (Mid-States), a collection of firms offering design and engineering, millwright, building, material handling equipment, crane and trucking services to agriculture operations and other industries.

Operating on QuickBooks, Excel and legacy systems, executives struggled to keep pace with the 50% jump in revenue the company experienced in the year following the hurricane. The storm and subsequent growth highlighted the need for a better financial platform, and Mid-States implemented Acumatica Construction Edition to solve its growing pains. Acumatica empowered Mid-States to streamline financial consolidation, efficiently manage data, enhance customer-facing interactions and scale operations.

“Mid-States has only scratched the surface of what Acumatica can do,” said Andrew Pistorius, chief financial officer of Mid-States. “Acumatica as a system allows us to become a more process-based organization. Being processed-based will allow us to scale in a prudent, profitable way and ultimately beneficial to our staff and customers.”

IOC Construction

IOC Construction (IOC) experienced similar benefits after moving from QuickBooks to Acumatica. The most impactful result of implementing Acumatica Cloud ERP has been access to unified, comprehensive and timely business data. Access to data has revolutionized IOC’s visibility into projects, providing actionable insights into financial health, margins and pipeline performance. With automation tools and a unified platform, IOC has eliminated manual tasks, gone paperless and enhanced customer communication.

“The ability to pull data from Acumatica allows us to understand our customers’ journeys. Before, if sales or production were backlogged, we would assume we needed to hire more people. But that was a guess because we didn’t know,” said Joel Sisto, chief financial officer of IOC. “Good data is the ultimate differentiator to delivering top-tier service to our customers.”

Happy Valley

The desire for comprehensive and detailed business data also motivated Happy Valley, a full-service premium cannabis company in Massachusetts, to migrate from QuickBooks to Acumatica. With siloed information and no data-driven insights, Happy Valley could only track the essentials required to run the business and struggled to understand inventory levels and labor costs. Since migrating to Acumatica with the support of QuantumLeaf—an Acumatica value-added reseller and independent software vendor specializing in cannabis solutions—Happy Valley has gained access to granular data that will play a vital role in helping the company achieve its growth goals.

“Acumatica helps us grow by delivering granular, batch-specific cost awareness for our work in process, raw materials and finished good inventory,” said Sean Corrigan, vice president of operations for Happy Valley. “QuantumLeaf’s connected cannabis solution complements Acumatica, giving us the ability to track cannabis lots while driving our business forward in a compressing market and industry. Acumatica is the first platform we feel truly encompasses our business.”

As businesses like Mid-States, IOC and Happy Valley thrive with Acumatica, the company’s vibrant community of customers, partners and employees remains a driving force behind its ongoing innovation and shared success. In two weeks, the Acumatica Community will come together in Las Vegas to network and share insights on more customers reaping the benefits of a comprehensive business management solution.
