Why Construction Firms Are Moving Beyond QuickBooks

QuickBooks was your start. Acumatica is your future.

Fragmented systems?

Acumatica connects your accounting, project management, CRM, and field operations in one unified platform.

Boost productivity by integrating all your accounting, marketing, sales, billing, and financial data into a single, unified database. This comprehensive approach enables better decision-making with accurate, real-time data at your fingertips. Automated workflows, push
notifications, project costing, email integration, expense management, and CRM functionalities streamline operations, reduce manual tasks, improve cash flows, and allow your team to focus on strategic initiatives, driving overall business efficiency.

Compliance headaches?

Automate alerts, track regulatory changes, and generate reports with ease.

Limited visibility?

Gain real-time insights into job costs, timelines, and resource allocations.

Enhance collaboration and streamline tasks with real-time reporting and seamless connectivity across teams. Acumatica allows you to modify and create reports, generate pivot tables, and analyze data directly within the software, eliminating the need for separate Excel spreadsheets. With a mobile app providing 24/7 remote access to your construction ERP data, your team can stay connected and act on a single source of truth, ensuring consistent and informed decision-making across the organization.

Scaling challenges?

Acumatica supports multi-entity, multicurrency operations and global expansion.

As your company grows and expands, QuickBooks struggles to keep up with the increasing demands. Acumatica’s robust unified platform is designed to support rapid growth and global operations, handling multicurrency transactions and intercompany accounting with ease. This enables seamless expansion into new markets and locations while ensuring compliance with GAAP, IFRS, and industry guidelines, providing a reliable foundation for sustained growth and scalability.
