Acumatica ERP for Construction + Manufacturing

One System to Manage Fabrication, Delivery, and Field Installation

 

Specialty contractors who manufacture their own products and install them in the field operate uniquely complex businesses. You’re running a production operation, managing supply chains, coordinating delivery schedules, and executing field installation, all while maintaining tight control of costs, timelines, and quality.

Acumatica Construction Edition is built to simplify your world. By unifying manufacturing, construction, and field operations into one platform, you get total visibility from shop floor to jobsite so your teams can deliver on time and on budget.

The Challenges of Manufacturing + Installing

Hybrid contractors face three sets of operational pressures:

 

  • Managing BOMs, fabrication workflows, labor, and equipment
  • Handling custom product variations
  • Tracking WIP and production status
  • Ensuring material availability
  • Coordinating installation schedules with GC or client timelines
  • Managing RFIs, change orders, and project documentation
  • Tracking job costs across phases
  • Scheduling deliveries to multiple jobsites
  • Ensuring manufactured items are produced and delivered in the correct sequence
  • Avoiding costly rework or delays caused by misaligned production and field schedules

 

Acumatica connects all these moving parts, eliminating the silos that slow down specialty contractors who build and install their own products.
