Acumatica

The Cloud ERP That Grows With You

Cloud, On-Premise, Hybrid by Acumatica (EQT Partners backed) Bellevue, Washington, USA Founded 2008

About

Acumatica is a cloud-based ERP platform designed for mid-market businesses that need the power of enterprise software without the per-user licensing costs. Its unique consumption-based licensing model allows unlimited users, making it one of the most cost-effective ERPs for growing companies.

Acumatica provides industry-specific editions for distribution, manufacturing, construction, retail-commerce, and field service businesses. The platform runs on the Acumatica Cloud xRP platform and integrates natively with popular tools like Adobe Commerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, and Salesforce.

History

Founded in 2008 by a team of former Microsoft and SAP engineers, Acumatica was purpose-built as a cloud ERP from the ground up — not a legacy system ported to the cloud. The company launched its first product in 2011.

In 2019, EQT Partners acquired a majority stake, accelerating Acumatica's growth. By 2023, the platform had over 10,000 customers and 400+ partners worldwide. The company has consistently been recognized as a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for cloud ERP for product-centric enterprises.
