An In-Depth Look at Acumatica Functionality

Select the Precise Set of Features You Need to Run Your Business

If you have experienced ERP implementations before then you know that no ERP product is “one size fits all.” Too many features bog down implementations, and too few features impact your productivity.

Acumatica, however, is a flexible ERP solution that allows you to select the functionality you require for your business. With Acumatica ERP you license only the modules you need now and add more when you are ready.

Acumatica groups features into “editions” built around industry-related functionality and “suites” organized around organizational roles (like finance or customer management), allowing you to focus on what you want to implement now and expand as you grow, and as your requirements change.

The table below compares the features that come standard with a particular edition along with the optional functionality that can be added.
