SYSPRO or Acumatica

SYSPRO customers are making the move to Acumatica for the modern cloud-native ERP platform with best-in-class functionality across the entire application suite.

Acumatica embraces everything the cloud offers progressive businesses – mobility, connectivity, collaboration, and ease of use. Improve profits, boost sales, and maximise resources with best-in-class applications for inventory, warehouse management, sales, purchasing, and financials.

It is our experience, from customer feedback, that SYSPRO is an aging platform that is expensive to maintain and difficult to use. SYSPRO users complain about comparatively weak financial applications, complex reporting, cumbersome navigation, poor customer support, and slow bug-ridden releases. Other customer pains include rigid system security and slow performance.

Digitally-savvy organisations are struggling with the SYSPRO ageing user interface and limited mobile apps – especially for finance functions. By comparrison, Acumatica’s cloud platform with native artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, provides an unparalleled user experience, improved processes and streamlined operations.

Streamline operations with production, estimating, engineering, material planning, scheduling, product configuration, and manufacturing data collection.

Key benefits

  • Evolve from legacy ERP systems and easily integrate with the collaboration tools of your choice – legacy vendors like SYSPRO are working with an aging inflexible technology stack.
  • Acumatica is a full suite ERP – SYSPRO is missing field service, commerce connectors, construction management, payroll, and process manufacturing.
  • Visualise and analyse key data and insights across all areas of your organisastion – SYSPRO users complain of rigid business analytic and reporting capabilities and reliance on Crystal Reports, a once-popular reporting tool now owned by rival SAP.
  • Acumatica has been the world’s fastest-growing Cloud ERP company for 8 years and counting – SYSPRO is stagnant at best with significant customer losses during the worldwide pandemic as businesses swiftly moved to modern cloud ERP platforms.
  • Scale users and resources up or down as needed – SYSPRO’s old user-based pricing model penalises customers who grow and limits access to information for other users across the enterprise.
  • Improve efficiency with our intuitive, award-winning UI – SYSPRO users complain of slow performance and that the interface looks out of date.

  • Significant loss of market share – SYSPRO is an aging platform that is expensive to maintain and difficult to use.

Acumatica delivers flexibility, efficiency, and continuity of operations to growing small and midmarket organisations.

Acumatica’s flexible and limitless commerce connectors such as for Amazon, Shopify and BigCommerce are native interfaces that integrate your eCommerce site with your financials, inventory, operations, and reporting making Acumatica a better choice for distributors and manufacturers with online sales as SYSPRO doesn’t offer commerce connectors.

Acumatica is designed for wholesale distributors and mixed-mode, make-to-stock, make-to-order, configure-to-order, engineer-to-order, repetitive, and project-centric manufacturers. Acumatica’s certified process manufacturing suite is far superior to SYSPRO and complex recipe and formula-driven manufacturers struggle with limited process manufacturing features. Many SYSPRO users complain that the manufacturing and distribution functionality is too complicated, making the system difficult to use.

Businesses with project accounting, field service, or construction requirements are best served by Acumatica as SYSPRO is missing field service, construction management, payroll, and process manufacturing.

Not even close to future-proof

Legacy, on-premises ERP applications are challenging to customise and connect with modern business applications. SYSPRO claims to be built on modern Microsoft .NET technology and hosted on Microsoft Azure however, developers and integrators know about the 30-plus-year-old Micro Focus Cobol code under the hood that has not kept up with modern programming languages.

Organisations looking to modernise distribution and manufacturing operations on a future-proof ERP platform born in the cloud are choosing Acumatica.
