PC Bennett Solutions Heavy Duty Vehicles FAQ
Does this ERP integrate with my existing accounting software/CRM/other systems?
One of the reasons many customers choose Acumatica over other ERP systems is its ability to integrate with other platforms through RESTful APIs – meaning your team can easily set up cloud-to-cloud integrations with solutions like DocuSign, Adobe, Avalara, and most major CRMs including SalesForce and HubSpot. With Acumatica’s open architecture, your business will be able to connect applications and systems you previously used with your new ERP.
However, one major caveat to this is that Acumatica does host its own CRM and accounting/finance system within the platform. In fact, especially when it comes to accounting, PC Bennett suggests you manage this in Acumatica because of how interconnected finances are throughout the system. For example, sales orders and invoices generated within the system all directly impact revenue and accounts receivable, while purchase orders and vendor bills affect expenses and accounts payable. A core reason companies purchase an ERP system is to have a single source of truth, so hosting as much of your business’s vital information on the platform is crucial to operational success.
How can this ERP help me improve my on-time parts delivery and service completion?
When it comes to ensuring parts deliveries are on time and your team completes service effectively and efficiently, you need a single piece of technology that brings together inventory management, supply chain optimization, and service scheduling. That is exactly what you get from Acumatica when you work with PC Bennett Solutions. We will craft your system to provide real-time visibility into stock levels and demand forecasting which enables your team to maintain optimal levels, significantly reduce the risk of stockouts, and ensure parts availability when needed.
Acumatica also streamlines scheduling, dispatching, and tracking of service tasks to improve your operational efficiency reduces your team’s downtime to ensure they’re helping every customer quickly and effectively. There is even an app which allows your field technicians to access the necessary information to perform service, update records, and order parts on-site all from their mobile devices.
Is this ERP easy to use and will my team require a lot of training?
Acumatica Cloud ERP does not have a steep learning curve for most organizations, though it does depend on your existing processes, the size of your organization, and the number of customizations needed. In general, however, the system is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. At PC Bennett Solutions, nearly all our team members use our own Acumatica in their daily operations, and we do not run into problems.
When doing business with PC Bennett specifically, we will ensure that even if your organization does require more training than normal, it won’t significantly impact you from a financial or time management perspective. This is because we encourage clients to sign up for our proprietary Customer Care Plan that completely changes how a software provider charges customers. Instead of typical time and material billing that causes disputes and incredibly high bills or slow results, we price unlimited support, maintenance, training, and more into 30 individual monthly payments. This ensures you are able to receive unlimited support and training at a comfortable, pre-agreed price.
