Smarter inventory. Faster fulfillment. Real-time visibility.
One distribution ERP software to keep your entire operation connected.
Too much inventory. Missed shipments. Manual work—just some of the pains solved by the right distribution ERP software.
Acumatica’s distribution Solution unifies inventory, purchasing, sales, and fulfillment—so you can move faster, stay accurate, and deliver with confidence.
Acumatica is the system. Milestone makes it work for you.Pain Point:
Tied-Up Cash - Unreliable Inventory
You're carrying extra stock just to avoid shortages — but it’s tying up working capital and creating more problems than it solves.
You’re Stocking More Than You Need — Because You Have To
When inventory numbers aren’t reliable, over ordering becomes the fallback. It’s the only way to avoid shortages — even if it ties up cash and adds more inventory than your team can keep up with.
Acumatica Distribution ERP software gives you real-time visibility and intelligent replenishment tools, so you can carry the right stock at the right time — without draining your working capital..
Milestone’s Role:
We help you set up inventory structures that reflect how your business actually operates — from location tracking to min/max thresholds and usage reporting. You’ll stock smarter, not just more.
Pain Point:
Orders Go In — But the Workflow Breaks Down
The order’s in, but moving it forward takes too many steps. What should be simple turns into emails, checks, and delays.
You're Doing Too Much Just To Ship What You Sold
Unclear steps don’t just slow things down — they make it harder to manage costs, track progress, and keep operations on plan.
Acumatica connects sales, purchasing, and fulfillment in one seamless workflow — so orders move forward without emails, manual checks, or delays.
Milestone’s Role:
We help you build clean, efficient workflows that reflect how your orders actually move — from the front office to the warehouse. No more workarounds just to keep things moving.
Pain Point:
Disconnected Systems, Disconnected Teams
Your team works across tools that don’t talk — no one sees the full picture of what's in stock, on order, or ready to ship.
You've Outgrown The Fixes
You’re logging into multiple systems just to answer one question.
When tools don’t talk to each other, simple tasks turn into time-wasting hunts for information — and it’s finance and ops that feel it most.
Acumatica brings your inventory, sales, purchasing, and financials into one connected platform — giving every team real-time access to what they need, when they need it.
Milestone’s Role:
Disconnected systems create confusion. We help you bring everything into one connected platform — so the answers are there when your team needs them.
