Acumatica Partners with Accellos to Deliver Fully Integrated ERP and Warehouse Management System (WMS) in the Cloud

Accellos and Acumatica, a provider of Cloud ERP and financial software, announced today at the 2012 Acumatica Partner Summit the availability of an integration between Acumatica Cloud ERP and AccellosOne Cloud WMS. The integration gives manufacturers, distributors and retailers a seamless workflow between ERP and WMS across orders, inventory, and fulfillment processes.

Accellos provides supply chain execution software specifically designed for the needs of small and midsized businesses (SMBs). The AccellosOne product suite includes Warehouse Management, Shipping, Dock Door Scheduling, Supply Chain Intelligence and Transportation Optimization. The AccellosOne Integration for Acumatica Cloud ERP allows Acumatica ERP users to integrate best-of-breed supply chain execution technology with their existing ERP system.

The interface uses Acumatica Web service integration tools and also includes certain extensions to Acumatica ERP using Acumatica Studio. The extensions facilitate immediate information transfers between ERP and WMS. This approach ensures that orders and inventory are kept in sync at all times across both systems. The interface supports multiple companies, multiple warehouse operations and the following information flows:

• Item Master – including sub items, item barcode cross references, lot tracking attributes and serial tracking attributes;
• Inbound/Purchase Orders – including standard orders, blanket orders, and transfer requests;
• Outbound Shipments – shipments created in the ERP are sent to the WMS for allocation planning, wave planning, picking, packing, loading and shipping;
• Inventory Adjustments – inventory changes in the WMS as a result of cycle counting, receipts, shipments and manual adjustments are synched with the ERP to ensure accurate inventory information across both systems.

The new integration will be made available for resale to Acumatica value added resellers who meet certain requirements to become an Accellos partner.
