ERP for Importers and Exporters
Connect international purchasing, inventory, landed costs, fulfillment, and financial management.

The Challenge
Import and Export Operations Have More Moving Parts
International distribution adds more variables to purchasing, inventory, fulfillment, and accounting.
Landed Costs
Freight, duties, and fees affect the true cost of inventory.
International Purchasing
Long lead times and overseas suppliers make planning more important.
Inventory & Warehousing
Know what has arrived, what is available, and what is still in transit.
Financial Visibility
Connect inventory costs, sales, and margins to the financial side of the business.
Landed Cost Visibility
See the Full Cost of Inventory
The purchase price is only part of what imported goods cost.
Acumatica can help bring inventory, purchasing, freight-related charges, and financial information together so teams can better understand the cost of products as they move through the business.
