You’re running a growing business, but your ERP feels like a roadblock instead of a tool for success. Workarounds, manual data entry, disconnected systems—it’s exhausting. And worse, it’s holding you back. What if you had an industry-specific ERP that worked for you instead of forcing you to change how you operate? That’s exactly what Acumatica offers.

Why Industry-Specific ERP Matters?

Every industry has its own challenges. A contractor needs tight job cost tracking, while a retailer needs real-time inventory visibility. A generic ERP system can’t deliver what you need without costly customizations and endless headaches.

Acumatica is different—with industry-specific ERP editions tailored to your industry. That means you get built-in automation, real-time reporting, and integrations that fit the way you work, right from day one.

How Acumatica’s Industry-Specific ERP Adapts to Your Business

Let’s talk about real-world scenarios—because your business isn’t a collection of features; it’s about getting things done.

Construction: Staying On Time & On Budget

You’re managing multiple projects, juggling subcontractors, and tracking costs. One wrong number can throw off an entire job. Acumatica’s construction industry-specific ERP keeps you on top of everything with real-time cost tracking, mobile-friendly access for teams in the field, and built-in compliance tools.

Real-World Example: Mid-States Companies, a steel fabrication and construction business, struggled with multiple disconnected software systems that created inefficiencies.
