Tracking and managing critical business functions like purchasing, inventory, and customer relationships are so important to modern organizations that many are willing to pay millions of dollars for enterprise resource planning (ERP) technologies like Acumatica to do it. But integrating the Acumatica Cloud ERP into the rest of your business functions, including B2B data exchanges and customer relationship management (CRM) processes, is just as critical and supports key revenue-driving functions, like Acumatica EDI workflows.
Organizations with a modern ERP solution like Acumatica leverage a centralized system of record and a streamlined order-to-cash flow for better accuracy and faster response time. That’s because Acumatica improves the processes around fulfilling customer demand, but such processes often require seamless communication with additional e-commerce and CRM applications, EDI solutions, or other B2B technologies.
When a company decides to invest in the Acumatica ERP system, it must ensure that it is able to integrate efficiently with the rest of its environment and fully automate its order-to-cash business processes. Here’s how to integrate Acumatica using a smart connector and get the most out of your ERP investment.
What is Acumatica?
Acumatica is a complete ERP solution that can be delivered either on-premise or in the cloud. It is designed for mid-sized enterprises and helps organizations run their key back-office operations and financial business processes through a combination of business applications for finance, distribution, and accounting. The Acumatica ERP provides scalability, flexibility, and a flexible pricing model that many enterprises utilize for general accounting, order management, and inventory management.
How Acumatica Works
Often, companies will make direct transactions with wholesalers that are then integrated into their ERP system. The internal ERP solution works as the company’s backbone to ensure the data flowing in and out of the ERP is efficient. Whether it’s your trading partners or customers, you must be able to communicate with the members of your digital ecosystem.
While NetSuite was the first cloud-based ERP, Acumatica boasts several features that customers choose it instead. Acumatica has unlimited users, rather than the need to buy a license for each person who uses the software. It also includes full relational database export, a high-level of customization, and a low TCO.
Who Uses Acumatica?
Acumatica is one of the fast-growing cloud ERPs and is used by many different companies across multiple industries. Some of these companies include KFC Singapore, ProPharma Distribution, MiiR, OneMed Health Care, OFS International, Firewire Surfboards, and Boulder Creek Stone.
What is an Acumatica Application Connector?
Cleo’s Acumatica integration connector connects to the Acumatica API to pull data from the Acumatica database. Users can create and templatize business processes, such as procure-to-pay and order-to-cash, to quickly add new integrations to Acumatica. Cleo’s Acumatica connector also supports ERP to EDI and EDI to ERP integration for 850, 856, and 810 documents. Additionally, users can automate status change notifications, retrieve objects from Acumatica, and query Acumatica to initiate integration or other transformation responses. Essentially, Cleo’s Acumatica integration connects you in a way that is robust, secure, and flexible.
Why Use an Acumatica Connector?
An Acumatica connector from Cleo provides frictionless integration into the ERP application, but it also supports the traditionally complex EDI and B2B data exchange processes that Acumatica has trouble executing. When companies attempt EDI directly through Acumatica, the process can be quite cumbersome. Using Cleo’s Acumatica connector, companies combine the power of the Acumatica API with leading B2B integration technology for a comprehensive, integrated business solution. Such a connector provides the B2B processing power that eliminates manual manipulation of orders coming in from customers who use EDI and provides elegant EDI for Acumatica. Users also can leverage the same data transformation capabilities that enable application-to-application connectivity, such as:
- ERP-CRM integration, like Acumatica-Salesforce
- ERP-SCM integration, like Acumatica-Epicor
- ERP-e-commerce integration, like Acumatica-Magento

- Quick integration into Acumatica via an intuitive experience that defines and configures process, and design-time and runtime resources
- Streamlined order-to-cash business processes, reduced errors, and enhanced reliability and integrity
