What it is
Acumatica Professional Services Edition combines project delivery and business processes for managing project work, resources, time, costs, billing, and financial performance. Its project accounting follows budgets, actual costs, commitments, work in progress, revenue, and billing through a project’s lifecycle. Planning tools use schedules, tasks, availability, and utilization to match staff to demand, while billing can use milestones or completion percentages. Embedded CRM supports client communication and relationship management. The edition is intended for small and mid-sized professional services firms, including engineering, architecture, technology, communications, and consulting businesses. Acumatica offers a native mobile ERP app for iOS and Android. Marketplace solutions named for the edition include Velixo for reporting, budgeting, and automation, Arcoro HR, an ADP Workforce Now connector, and Workforce Go Payroll. Deployment options include SaaS hosting on AWS and deployment on Azure, AWS, or on-premise. Pricing is on request; the listed custom package includes unlimited users, support, and implementation.
