Explore some of the features that make Acumatica ERP the best choice for Consulting Engineering firms.
Featured
Anytime, Anywhere Access
Acumatica is a cloud-based ERP system. That means, regardless of whether you are in the office, at a job site, or even halfway around the world, your access to the information you need to run your consulting engineering business is no different than if you were sitting at your desk.
Unlimited Users
Most ERP software publishers charge a license fee for each user. For a growing company, that can get expensive! With Acumatica, there is no cost to add users. Everyone who needs to can access the software.
Consumption-based pricing
Acumatica's innovative 'consumption-based' pricing model will change the way you think about adding users to the system. Prices are based not on the number of users, but rather, on the computing resources your company needs related to business transactions and data storage. In other words, you pay only for what you use.
Unique Deployment Options
The vast majority of Acumatica customers access the system through the Acumatica cloud. However, Acumatica is unique in that it is not solely a cloud-based SaaS product. Only Acumatica lets you choose between a cloud deployment, your hosting provider, or on-premise. These flexible deployment options are a particular benefit to those companies who have limited internet access or are subject to restrictions or regulations about where their data can reside or how it can be accessed.
The xRP Development Platform
Acumatica’s secret weapon is the xRP Platform. Think of this proprietary platform as a rapid application development tool that we can use to customize workflows, change user interfaces and configure the system to your individual needs.
Awards and Recognition for Acumatica Cloud ERP
Acumatica is proud that our completely integrated Cloud ERP solution is recognized as the one of the best ERP software products on the market by leading industry organizations and publications.
