Work Smarter Not Harder

Acumatica provides a modern and intuitive user experience to make it easier for you to do your best work. The Acumatica experience enables your organization to adapt and tailor our solution to meet your unique business needs.

In 2020 R2, we save you both time and money by automatically creating AP documents from vendor bills. Up to 500 recently viewed records are instantly available. Also, it is even easier for you to retrieve data with query join suggestions and previews.

Power Growth with Best-in-Class Functionality

Financial management is the core priority of an ERP system, and Acumatica continues to innovate in this area by enabling cross-company sales opportunities, streamlining bank reconciliation, and providing centralized account management.

In 2020 R2, we deliver a robust integration to Shopify. We built the integration using our new commerce engine, which makes it even easier to connect to leading eCommerce applications.

We also added several vertical-specific features and end-user productivity aids to all our Industry Editions.

Technology Leadership

Built on a modular and adaptable platform, Acumatica is designed for the way businesses operate today and in the future. Its flexible architecture allows for low-code or no-code customization and sophisticated capabilities such as data visualization, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).

In 2020 R2, we continue to harness AI and ML to create AP documents automatically. We deliver an advanced workflow engine that enables customers to modify workflows visually. We added detailed security requirements and support OData v4.0. In addition, users can use their mobile device to respond to standard dialog questions in Acumatica even when they are on the go.
