Acumatica Cloud ERP Distribution Edition: 3 KPI's You Must Monitor

Acumatica Cloud ERP Distribution Edition: 3 KPI's You Must Monitor

Acumatica Cloud ERP Distribution Edition Gives You Strategic Insights & KPIs

Competition and consumer price sensitivity are forcing companies to be strategic and not just react to market conditions or changes. Learn how the most successful companies use the Acumatica Cloud ERP Distribution Edition to get strategic visibility and the 3 most important KPI’s the majority of them utilize inside their business.

Background: What are the types of KPIs?

In most cases, people think of historical measurements when they think of measurements and KPIs. Most KPIs are financial, as finance is the common yardstick of general business management in distribution. However, a growing category of KPIs are actually operational measurements to give insights into on-time delivery such as transportation schedules, inventory, and backorders so they can be used to act, not react.

  • Historical KPIs can be set up with alerts to monitor and detect exceptions, visually alerting a user with green, yellow, and red status indicators. Acumatica Cloud ERP Distribution Edition users enjoy active alerts via “push” message sent via email or text. Common financial KPIs in most companies monitor sales, costs, margins, cash flow, and asset utilization.
  • Predictive KPIs use existing data and look for signals to project performance expectations into the future. Your decision makers and managers would then evaluate these projections to make decisions and take actions in order to avoid losses, or to optimize outcomes. Predictive KPIs for distribution may use economic indicators, demographic trends, or specific industry indicators.

Acumatica Cloud ERP Distribution Edition KPI #1: Inventory Turnover

With Acumatica ERP solutions for distribution, you get a display showing your inventory turns for low turnover as well as high turnover items. In a single snapshot view, your purchasing manager can watch open POs and purchasing trends or create their own customized view.
