With Acumatica, you can automate your daily routine, such as picking, packaging, receiving and put-away, and inventory transfers using handheld scanners. The advanced features allow you to optimize your picking using wave and batch strategies.
“Acumatica provides accurate inventory, which means we can reorder some items and operate on a just-in-time basis and still maintain necessary inventory levels . . . We use Acumatica to make sure everything is accurate. We used to wait seven days for the information to come in, and with Acumatica, we have it in 2 days, which allows us to make decisions and react faster to stay ahead of the competition.” – PATRICK ORDONEZ, HEAD OF FINANCE, MARIKINA FOOD/HOBE
