Acumatica Estimating

No matter how you approach your manufacturing processes, it all starts with estimating. Estimates provide you the details and the deeper understanding of what goes into an item, allowing you the insights you need to deliver a bill of material or sales order. 

Why Estimating Matters Now More Than Ever to Today’s Manufacturer

Estimating has always been an important process for manufacturers. However, in an environment where finding and switching suppliers is easier than ever, providing a fast and accurate quote could be the difference between landing and losing a client.

While many vendors may offer an option to provide estimates, few deliver the speed and complete view that you need. Estimating, part of Acumatica’s Manufacturing Edition delivers this, providing users with a fast, flexible, and easy to use estimates that take into account every aspect of the process, including material, overhead, labor, and other miscellaneous costs.

Designed and built for manufacturers by manufacturers, Acumatica Manufacturing Edition helps you to streamline your operations, reduce costs, and see the entire picture.

We can now place orders faster and react to sales quicker. As a result, I think we’ll be able to reduce our total inventory by somewhere between $1.5 million and $2 million dollars.
