Too much inventory drains your cash. Too little, and you’re losing sales, frustrating customers, and playing catch-up.
For retailers juggling stores, e-commerce, and scattered systems, it’s a constant guessing game. Acumatica’s Retail Edition puts an end to that. With real-time visibility and smarter controls, it helps you stay ahead of demand and avoid the costly fallout of stockouts or excess inventory.
Real-Time Inventory Visibility
Acumatica gives you real-time inventory visibility across warehouses, stores, and online channels, all in one system. Whether you’re fulfilling Shopify orders, managing in-store returns, or moving inventory between locations, your team stays informed. They get a real-time view of what’s in stock, what’s committed, and what’s incoming – no guesswork.
For example, the Inventory Management module tracks reorder points and safety stock levels automatically. That means you’ll be ready the moment demand increases. Add in Purchase Management and Sales Order Management to streamline restocking and improve forecasting. Together, these tools help you avoid overbuying and prevent costly stockouts.
Retailers also use native dashboards and real-time alerts to flag when popular items are running low, and with integrations to platforms like BigCommerce or Shopify, stock counts sync instantly, preventing you from accidentally selling what you don’t have.
Automated Replenishment and Demand Forecasting
Acumatica’s real-time inventory tracking, automated reorder points, and vendor lead-time management ensure you’re never caught off guard. With eCommerce integrations and CRM insights, Acumatica shows you what’s selling, what’s low, and what to reorder. Your shelves stay stocked, and your team stays ahead.
Role-Based Dashboards and Reporting
Acumatica offers customizable dashboards tailored to different roles within your organization. Whether you’re in purchasing, sales, or warehouse management, you can access the specific data you need to perform your job effectively. These dashboards provide actionable data into key performance indicators, such as inventory turnover rates and order fulfillment metrics, enabling proactive decision-making.
Multi-Location Inventory Management
Acumatica’s Retail Edition includes native Inventory Management, Warehouse Management, and Sales Order Management modules that make managing multi-location inventory simple and efficient. You can track stock levels in real time across every store, warehouse, and distribution center, while setting rules for transfers, replenishment, and fulfillment. Acumatica gives your team the tools to move inventory quickly and confidently—thanks to lot and serial tracking, location-based pricing, and bin-level control. No delays, no guesswork, no manual updates.
Integration with E-Commerce Platforms
Acumatica’s Retail Edition connects seamlessly with e-commerce platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, and Amazon, keeping your online and in-store operations in sync. Orders, inventory, customer data, and shipping updates sync automatically across systems, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors. When a customer places an order online, it appears instantly in Acumatica. This helps you avoid overselling, speed up fulfillment, and deliver a smoother experience across every channel.
