Acumatica’s ERP solution fits the needs of the fast-paced, complex medical startup environment. It was designed to empower users to meet those needs with low maintenance requirements. With Acumatica ERP you get robust integration capabilities for organizations where compliance, regulations, and vendor relationships must be considered for software selection.
No matter what stage your startup is at, Acumatica offers a wide variety of options that easily scale to fit your business needs. An experienced partner can help by auditing your processes and recommending the right configuration for you. In the medical startup field, you’ll likely need a combination of financials, distribution, manufacturing, and customer relationship management. Here are a few of the features our medical startup companies rave about in their Acumatica system.
Procure-to-Pay Process
Managing vendor relationships, supplier bids, contracts, vendor quality issues, returns, and accounts payable processes are crucial and can make or break your startup without the right business software. Make sure your system gives you advanced visibility into every stage of your purchasing process, or you risk running behind on your operations – meaning that the hospitals, patients, and clinics that rely on your product may run behind, as well.
Acumatica’s procure-to-pay automation process help to streamline everything, minimizing delays, improving cashflow, and increasing the value of your business. The procure-to-pay process in Acumatica encompasses four phases and twelve unique steps, from item definition and supplier management to financial reporting and business analysis.

Material Requirements Planning
Another feature that medical manufacturers rely heavily on is Acumatica’s MRP capabilities. Acumatica has a built-in Material Requirement Planning (MRP) engine to give you greater transparency into your contract manufacturing activity. This system will suggest purchase, production, and transfer orders to meet forecasted demand, improve customer service, avoid shortages, and reduce inventory. Put artificial intelligence and machine learning to work where you need it most.
Key benefits include:
- Improved Profits: Time-phased material planning ensures materials are purchased just in time for manufacturing. Critical material reports and exception messages help planners to respond to real-world changes impacting demand and production schedules.
- Maximize Utilization: Accurate material plans ensure that material is available for production. This improves resource scheduling to maximize machine, work center, and labor resources.
- Manage by Exception: Monitor material plans, material shortage reports, and production from a real-time dashboard. Drill-down to manage material plans using exception messaging to keep production running at peak performance.
