Acumatica Highlights Next-Gen ERP Solutions for Manufacturers and Distributors at ProMat 2025

Cloud ERP Leader Introduces Intelligent Workflows to Optimize Business Operations

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acumatica, the world’s fastest-growing cloud ERP provider, will showcase the latest advancements to its Manufacturing and Distribution Editions during ProMat 2025, taking place March 17 – 20 in Chicago, Ill. These new features, recently previewed at Acumatica Summit 2025 with some available in the company’s forthcoming product release, will empower small to mid-sized manufacturers and distributors with AI-powered business management solutions that streamline operations, increase efficiency and drive sustainable growth.

“Manufacturers and distributors face increasing complexity, from supply chain disruptions to evolving customer expectations,” said Debbie Baldwin, director of product management, manufacturing at Acumatica. “At Acumatica, we’re committed to delivering AI-first solutions that help businesses stay one step ahead. Our latest updates deliver capabilities that growing companies need—like greater visibility, automation and intelligence—helping them grow on their own terms.”

Manufacturing Edition Updates: Innovation for a Changing Industry

Today’s manufacturers navigate a confluence of challenges and opportunities brought on by advanced technologies like IoT, AI and robotics. Amid persistent workforce shortages, new expectations around sustainability and increasing demand for product personalization, businesses must adapt to remain competitive. Acumatica’s latest Manufacturing Edition empowers manufacturers with solutions that address these challenges. Key updates include:

• Production orders by build capability: Manufacturers often struggle to anticipate material shortages, validate inventory efficiently and prevent production delays. Acumatica’s enhancements streamline inventory validation and provide real-time insights to ensure smoother production processes.
• New scheduling views: Traditional scheduling methods rely on limited visual representations of data, leading to manual inefficiencies and production delays. Acumatica introduces enhanced scheduling views to provide greater transparency and real-time production planning.
• Looking ahead: 2025 and beyond: Acumatica continues to invest in the future of manufacturing with upcoming innovations in Materials Required Planning (MRP), AI and ML-driven automation, advanced planning and scheduling, a new shop floor kiosk and an enhanced product configurator.

Distribution Edition Updates: Empowering Smarter, More Agile Supply Chains

Distributors are under mounting pressure to manage increasingly complex product catalogs, optimize pricing and improve buyer experiences. Acumatica has updated its Distribution Edition to tackle these issues head-on with:

• Product catalog and pricing control for Shopify: Distributors have traditionally managed large catalogs with variable pricing. Acumatica’s new capabilities enhance catalog management and enable customized buyer experiences.
• Selling unique products: Distributors need greater flexibility when identifying, managing and selling products with unique characteristics (e.g., condition, number of scratches, warranty coverage, etc.). Acumatica’s enhancements allow businesses to better capture product attributes for improved sales processes.
• Looking ahead: 2025 and beyond: Acumatica is advancing its order orchestration capabilities and introducing native integration with Channel Engine to simplify ecommerce processes for distributors. Additionally, the ERP provider is enabling Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) inventory synchronization and leveraging AI and ML-powered cross-sell and upsell recommendations. The solution’s new advanced sales order kitting capabilities will further optimize order processing.

“Success in manufacturing and distribution requires smarter, more adaptive operations,” said Baldwin. “Our cloud ERP solutions leverage the latest AI and automation innovations to help businesses optimize production and increase agility. With real-time insights and intelligent workflows, users can work more efficiently and companies can scale more confidently.”

Acumatica invites ProMat attendees to visit booth no. S4975 in McCormick Place (South Building, Hall A) to see its latest enhancements in action and learn how cloud ERP can drive business transformation.
