Headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, U.S., Acumatica sells its solutions through value-added resellers (VARs) and private-label OEM partners, such as Visma and MYOB. Acumatica goes to market globally through its partner network. It operates in multiple geographies but relies heavily on partners for localizations. It focuses on small and midsize organizations and has customers worldwide, with the majority in North America. Services-centric industries are its largest vertical segment, but product-centric customers are growing. Its resource-based licensing model is popular with customers.
Acumatica is a “born in the cloud” solution. The Acumatica ERP suite version 2018 R1 includes distribution and manufacturing capabilities, along with financials and CRM functionality. Recently, Acumatica has expanded into the construction vertical. The 2018 R1 solution is designed for midsize enterprise customers and can be deployed in the Acumatica public cloud (on AWS) or a private cloud of the customer’s choice (on-premises or hosted). Acumatica provides a cloud development platform, the Acumatica Cloud xRP Platform, offering many platform-as-a-service capabilities.
In Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, Acumatica is positioned as a Niche Player due to its strong core functionality for midsize organizations and its flexibility to support partner-delivered extensions. It lacks some depth for product-centric businesses compared to other vendors, but those extended capabilities are readily available through its partner network. Acumatica’s partner ecosystem is expanding and becoming increasingly certified.
