Pros

“I like using Acumatica cloud Erp as it allows customization, had a good community of help, and is flexible enough to meet the custom solutions I want.”
KB

Krystal B.

Director, Business Process

“The customized construction modules, connection between our departments and teams, one source of data entry and use”
TO

Tracy O.

ERP Product Manager

“We need the ability to merge customers and sync to Bigcommerce, use customer contact email rather than the account email.”
BB

Benjamin B.

Mechanical engineer

Pros

“It did not take much time for the team to integrate Ion into our day-to-day start-up life, and more importantly, grows with us as we scale-up production.”
JC

Jasmine C.

Manufacturing Engineer

“Extremely intuitive software that's helps our company keep track and manage workflows”
JL

Joshua L.

Stealth Engine Chief Engineer and Production Manager

Cons

“I don't like that in order to connect with connector stores's via API you need a outside company to do it and the option to do it in house is not available.”
Th

Tony h.

CIS manager

“Multi technician revenue, direct parts stock, and not being able to directly generate a sale as a service”
CC

Carlos C.

Software engineer

“Forecasting from the task level makes it too granular, and forecasting from the inventory ID leaves things too general.”
AF

Alison F.

Project Analyst

Cons

“The per user price keeps the software from being fully adopted by the company to find solutions of their own.”
