Acumatica Retail-Commerce Edition: Empowering Mid-Sized Retailers

Acumatica Retail-Commerce Edition has emerged as a powerful cloud-based multi-channel ERP solution tailored for mid-sized companies. It offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline retail operations and drive growth across various channels:

  2. Inventory Management
  3. Order Management and Fulfillment
  4. Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
  5. Financial Management
  6. Warehouse Management
  7. eCommerce Integration

Several mid-sized companies have successfully leveraged Acumatica Retail-Commerce Edition to transform their operations:
