Gain Resiliency and Optimize Operations on a Future-Proof Platform
Organizations invest heavily in technology to power their business only to discover their infrastructure cannot deliver long-term efficiency and scalability. Employees struggle with disjointed business processes that increase manual errors and jeopardize customer service. As a result, they pursue digital transformation to streamline end-to-end operations and prepare for future challenges.
Digital transformation eliminates functional silos by integrating external and internal systems into a centralized technology stack and providing real-time insights for deep analysis. Without integrated systems, organizations cannot uncover insights from different systems or connect related workflows to drive growth. Further, disconnected applications create error-prone manual processes that proliferate throughout the organization.
Native Integrations Extend Industry Expertise
Companies often waste substantial time and resources building and maintaining integrations. Instead, they can choose from an abundance of native integrations. For example, Acumatica offers 80 native integrations to leading hardware, software, and services, from sales tax and project management to shipping and barcode scanners, enabling organizations to consolidate data and connect workflows on one intuitive platform without coding.
Companies can implement an industry-specific ERP complete with native integrations to related hardware and software, such as Acumatica Construction, Distribution, Manufacturing, and Retail Editions. In addition, they can easily tailor Acumatica industry editions to centralize daily operations and conduct long-term planning.
Acumatica Marketplace Promotes Interoperability
Businesses can take advantage of certified integrations on the Acumatica Marketplace and choose from nearly 300 pre-built hardware and software integrations that extend ERP functionality for specific business needs. Acumatica certifies Marketplace integrations, ensuring compatibility with updated versions of the core ERP system.
Open Architecture Empowers Connections
Acumatica gives companies the flexibility to expand their ERP application beyond native integrations. The open architecture and contract-based APIs represent cornerstone integration components optimized for performance and built to support upgrades without service disruptions. In addition, Acumatica’s import and export scenarios let users effortlessly transfer large amounts of data without coding.
The ERP platform provides an ideal framework for centralizing corporate technology stacks while delivering real-time data transfer and end-to-end visibility on an intuitive user interface. Furthermore, Acumatica’s mobile framework and responsive design enable remote users to conduct business anywhere at any time.
Rapid Integrations Help Organizations Transform their Businesses
Instead of transforming the business, new applications often hinder growth by adding complexity and inhibiting transparency. Data integrity wanes as information silos emerge. Meanwhile, integrating new systems proves challenging and resource-intensive.
Overcoming Digital Transformation Challenges
Acumatica alleviates integration challenges with a modern xRP platform built for rapid integrations with minimal development efforts.
“Acumatica was attractive as it allowed me to easily integrate with the custom solutions that gave me a strategic advantage, and it dealt with the standard ERP transaction processing in a way that could support my global operations.”
Start with a Strong Financial Foundation
Acumatica delivers a solid financial foundation. The financial solution provides a holistic system of connected applications, encompassing core accounting functions, such as general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and cash management. Advanced financial applications include deferred and recurring revenue, automated bank feeds, time and expense management, fixed assets, project accounting, and payroll. In addition, every Acumatica application connects seamlessly with this core financial management suite, which provides real-time financial reporting and analysis and supports specialized applications in industry editions.
Combine Related Workflows Across the Business
Organizations can harness the power of modern technologies without inhibiting transparency since Acumatica seamlessly connects related workflows across different systems and departments. For example, users can automate data capture with embedded barcode scanning and optical character recognition (OCR) for improved data accuracy. Plug-and-play integrations enable users to utilize external software features without toggling between applications or performing redundant tasks. In addition, embedded artificial intelligence with machine learning automates and improves processes without human intervention.
Centralize Data to Increase Accuracy
Acumatica’s modern cloud platform and flexible configuration options empower companies to adapt technology to the way they conduct business. The open platform facilitates smooth transitions for newly integrated systems, enabling companies to migrate large amounts of data to the ERP without extensive software development. Streamlined processes improve customer experience and employee engagement while reducing data inaccuracy and costly errors. Furthermore, consolidating ERP data with external information provides a cohesive data warehouse for advanced business intelligence and real-time analytics, supported by native apps like Microsoft Power BI.
Building Blocks for Rapid Integrations
Integrating new hardware and software into on-premises systems is cumbersome, costly, and rarely seamless. Although cloud-based platforms offer more flexibility, many require extensive development for even simple integrations. Custom, one-off integrations often prove expensive to maintain.
“Acumatica’s integration and ease of use seemed better than NetSuite. When we viewed the demos, it was so much more outstanding than anything else we looked at. It fit like a glove and the integration of what we do as a company seemed like it would be a smooth transition.”
Acumatica xRP Platform
Acumatica’s robust and flexible integration services enable organizations to efficiently exchange data with diverse systems, capitalizing on modern technologies often without programming. The open architecture rapidly incorporates new systems into the centralized tech stack, from third-party applications and modern technologies to legacy systems. The platform can also connect with hardware, such as printers, cash registers, receipt printers, barcode scanners, robotics, carousels, and credit card terminals.
The Acumatica xRP platform is a versatile architectural framework and application development platform that empowers developers to customize the system to their business needs. Built on the world’s best cloud and mobile framework, Acumatica provides tools for reimagining business applications in an interconnected world. The platform’s open nature simplifies API development so organizations can efficiently connect different systems to the ERP framework.
“As software developers, we found Acumatica’s technology to be elegant, adaptable, and stable. In the era of cloud computing, you do not want to select technology that is decades old.”
Data Transfer Strategies
Acumatica relies on two primary mechanisms to facilitate data transfer. Data transfer strategies include Web Services Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Data Exchange Services. Both techniques use common Acumatica business logic to ensure data consistency no matter how data is entered or transferred from external applications. They also enforce the same business logic when users manually enter data through a browser-based interface.
Web Services APIs
Web services APIs and webhooks facilitate real-time data connectivity and bi-directional data exchange with web-based systems. Since Acumatica deploys contract-based default APIs, it ensures upgrades (minor or major) will not affect the integration. Each web service API is fixed and does not change during system customizations, localizations, or enhancements. In addition, users can extend default APIs to include various data elements, like custom fields, to support specific functions.
Acumatica’s open-source standards allow companies to build interfaces and transfer data with web-based systems. For example, they can use REST or SOAP APIs to connect people, information, processes, equipment, and ideas with modern technologies, such as cloud computing, big data, robotics, artificial intelligence with machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The modern REST and SOAP APIs enable organizations to build integrations with external systems much more efficiently than more antiquated XML-based interfaces. Acumatica also supports industry standards, like OAuth 2.0, for authorizing external applications.
Data Exchange Services
Data Exchange Services support batch data migrations. Import and export scenarios perform one-time or scheduled data migrations. By transferring large batches of data, these services efficiently assimilate new acquisitions into the centralized platform without coding. Data Exchange Services can also perform periodic data imports, such as updated vendor catalogs. Unlike manual imports, Data Exchange Services maintain data integrity by intelligently consolidating and validating information while removing redundant data and error-prone processes.
Integration Spotlight
Curran Young Construction
Curran Young Construction wanted an intuitive ERP system with robust integrations and real-time insights. They needed the new platform to seamlessly connect with ProCore Construction Management software and provide remote access to workers.
“Having a solution that can communicate with other tools was a must,” said Bruce Young, President and Co-Founder of Curran Construction. “In construction, there are a lot of pieces and moving parts, multiple vendors and subcontractors, and different expenses and financial controls that need to be tracked and communicated in multiple places. Integration is essential.”
Acumatica’s integrated functionality and ease of use helped Curran Young save time and boost productivity.
“It was a logical choice—with Acumatica, we can communicate and integrate with other tools easily, which is a big plus as we use tools like ProCore, Excel, ProEst, and Building Connected,” Young said. “Once we made a decision to go to the cloud, other software couldn’t compare to Acumatica’s Construction Edition. I’m saving 30 to 35 percent of my time.”
Curran Young can now add industry-specific applications without upgrading its platform. For example, the seamless data transfer between ProCore and Acumatica facilitates collaboration between remote field operations and internal office staff to ensure project delivery schedules and budgets.
“In Acumatica, it’s easy to find a project and much faster to switch tasks than any other software I’ve used,” Young adds. “Navigation is just a click of a button, and information is now all in one place. I don’t need to change applications to approve different items. Because of that, I’m less likely to have something fall through the cracks.
Extending Best-in-Class Services to Leading Industries
Limited, disconnected, and aging technology platforms prevent many organizations from streamlining processes and embracing specialized, modern applications. As a result, employees in rapidly growing companies struggle to force-fit specialized requirements into an agnostic platform while juggling divergent responsibilities.
Acumatica enables organizations to centralize business applications, even industry-specific ones, on one platform. For example, distributors can easily connect electronic data interchange (EDI) software while manufacturers frequently need to capture data from machine interfaces.
“If you want a modern forward-thinking ERP that’s easy to implement, flexible, and a joy to use, put Acumatica on your evaluation shortlist . . . I know if we want to expand with more warehouses, I can easily do it; if we want to expand to new countries, I can do it easily with Acumatica.”

Premier 1 Supplies
Premier 1 Supplies has provided electric fencing and netting, sheep and goat supplies, clippers and shearers, ear tags, poultry products, and expert advice to livestock farmers for over 40 years, using traditional mail-order catalogs and websites to market products.
Their legacy on-premise ERP system could not keep up with their evolving needs. Instead, they wanted a modern ERP platform to better support and secure its growing operation.
“We hunted far and wide for B2C solutions but only found pieces of the whole of what we needed,” said Ben Rothe, General Manager and CEO of Premier One Supplies Rothe. “We’re a high-volume B2C company and were finding that a lot of companies like us resort to heavy customization since it can be difficult to find everything needed. I did feel like we were in this mid-sized wasteland where there’s not a B2C ERP out there.”
They chose Acumatica for its ability to support Business-to-Consumer operations.
“We were closely aligned with Acumatica and felt its open APIs would allow me to make customizations myself. I felt like we were starting with more of an out-of-the-box ERP than we would have with Oracle NetSuite . . . .”
Acumatica optimized operations and delivered data-based insights while cutting technology costs. The integrated enterprise improves customer support, streamlines workflows, and improves the shopper experience.
“Being able to access data and have the various departments working together in one system is a real benefit,” Rothe said. “If the warehouse has low inventory for an item, it is immediately exposed to purchasing to place the order for more. We now have real-time visibility to pertinent data.”
Take Advantage of Proven Integrations
Integrating disparate systems should not consume substantial time and resources. Acumatica native integrations make connecting with diverse software and hardware systems easy.
“Avalara’s sales tax integration has been really beneficial for us. We do business in 45 states, and we can now add additional state information quickly. That has been extremely helpful. I would have had to hire a full-time person just to handle the different sales tax scenarios, and now it’s done in the background seamlessly. Acumatica’s ability to push and pull data has been phenomenal.”
