Acumatica unifies manufacturing, inventory, supply chain, and financials on a single platform. Acumatica eliminates third-party bridges and batch syncs, so your entire organization works from one source of truth.
Q-PAC Systems, a Florida-based manufacturer of custom HVAC fan arrays, came to us running on QuickBooks and spreadsheets, with no part numbers, no bill of materials, and no visibility into job-level margins or material requirements. Their operations manager said it plainly: before Acumatica, order status was largely a guess. Today, they close their books in a day and haven’t missed an order due to a stock-out since go-live. They have grown 40% year over year and are approaching $32 million in revenue.
Q-Pac Systems created that growth with the operational insights they needed to make well informed and timely decisions.
Acumatica provides a full range of manufacturing and supply chain capabilities – from inventory management and MRP to production control, shop floor execution, and WMS.
Every business uses what fits. Here is what is available.
It Starts with Knowing What You Have
Lot and serial tracking, warehouse management, bin-level visibility and cradle to grave traceability. Your team can see exactly what is in stock, where it is, and what it costs. From vendor receipt through production to customer delivery, Acumatica allows you to trace any item back to its source or forward to its destination.
For products that come in variations, different sizes, colors, materials, or configurations, Acumatica’s Matrix Items generate all your SKUs automatically from a single product setup. No manual creation, no duplicate data entry, and your inventory stays clean as your product line grows.
When your team knows exactly what’s on hand, every promise to a customer is one you can keep.
Having What You Need
Acumatica gives your team the tools to Replenish Inventory proactively, reorder points, safety stock, replenishment rules that fit your business, based on item or warehouse location, featuring lead times per vendor and vendor location assignment – all working seamlessly with Sales and Manufacturing so you purchase what you need, where you need it, when you need it.
MRP takes the guesswork out of what to buy and when to build. Acumatica generates purchasing and production plans based on actual demand, planned supply, forecasts, and current inventory. Acumatica’s MRP engine walks the full bill of materials, planning not just top-level items but every subassembly and component and factors in lead times at each level so your dates are realistic from the start.
Your team stops reacting and starts planning.
From Demand to Delivery
Automatically link production orders to Sales Orders when creating production via MRP – or create the production order directly from Sales keeping your production and fulfillment aligned.
For manufacturers building to customer specifications, the Product Configurator generates accurate bills of materials, routing, pricing, and production instructions all driven by custom options. Your Sales teams can quote complex, custom products that meet your customers’ needs. In the unified system, every configured build provides accurate cost and margin information, enabling you to further differentiate your products.
For engineer-to-order and job shop manufacturers, Projects in Acumatica can trigger production orders and track costs, work in progress, and billing in real time. You always know where a job stands and what it is costing you, without waiting for month-end reconciliation.
The Shop Floor Kiosk provides a simplified touch friendly interface designed for the manufacturing environment, enabling workers to clock in, report productions tasks, scrap and provide real time consumption – further enhancing the the flow of information from the warehouse to the front office.
Acumatica’s Warehouse Management keeps operations moving with barcode-driven workflows for receiving, put-away, picking, packing, transfers, and physical counts. Your team works from mobile devices with real-time inventory updates at every scan, no paper, no manual entries, no end-of-day reconciliation. Because WMS is native to the platform it’s a core capability that shares the same data as your sales orders, purchasing, and financials.
Planning on Purpose
Acumatica supports end-to-end visibility by breaking down data using Subaccounts with segmented keys with flexible application at the item, customer, and location level and connects the supply chain data directly to the P&L, cash flow and balance sheets to analyze sales, inventory and customer behaviors.
Role-based Dashboards give production managers, schedulers, and executives a real-time view of what is running, what is late, and where the bottlenecks are. These interactive dashboards provide real-time insights into inventory turnover, supplier performance, work center capacity and critical financial data. Everyone works from the same numbers. No one is waiting for a report.
Closing
Acumatica is built for companies that manufacture, distribute, or do both. We have implemented it for manufacturers across discrete, job shop, and project-driven operations, and we bring that experience to every implementation.
