The release of Acumatica 2025 R1 marks another major step forward in modern ERP innovation. Known for its rapid development cycle and user-driven enhancements, Acumatica continues to deliver the tools growing businesses need to stay agile, competitive, and connected. For organizations still relying on legacy systems like ECI Macola or QuickBooks Enterprise, this release offers not just new functionality, but a compelling reason to migrate.
Our expert consultants and solutions engineer at Algorithm have explored and demonstrated these new capabilities, many of which we’ve featured on our YouTube channel. This blog will guide you through the standout features of 2025 R1 and help you understand why now is the time to make the move to a modern, cloud-based ERP.
Acumatica 2025 R1 introduces key enhancements that address real operational pain points, from manufacturing floor visibility to advanced financial controls. As highlighted in recent videos by Algorithm’s senior consultants, this release makes several smart refinements to core ERP functionality.
In manufacturing, new views like the Build Capability dashboard help production managers instantly assess which jobs are ready based on real-time material availability. This screen uses color coding to show what can move forward now versus what needs further investigation, streamlining production scheduling and reducing costly downtime.
Complementing this is the new Capacity Dashboard, offering planners a visual representation of workload distribution by work center. This feature supports smarter labor and resource planning, making it easier to identify bottlenecks and adjust in real time. Ben Thomas’ demo dives into how these tools allow manufacturers to make more informed scheduling decisions without jumping between systems.
Acumatica 25 R1: Finance & Accounting Improvements That Matter
Acumatica has also taken direct aim at common frustrations in accounting workflows. A perfect example: the ability to now apply charges to refund transactions. As showcased in a recent video “Finance Charges and Receipts” by Algorithm senior consultant Ben Gray, users can now assign either positive or negative charges to refunds directly within the Payments and Applications screen. That means fewer workarounds, cleaner data, and a more accurate financial picture.
Additionally, tighter alignment between budget tracking and project accounting improves financial oversight across departments. Businesses with long project cycles or service contracts can now trust that updates flow cleanly into reporting and forecasting tools without delay.
In 2025 R1, project-centric businesses gain more flexibility. Enhancements to progress billing, resource allocation, and mobile time capture make it easier to keep complex projects on time and on budget. Whether you’re a construction firm juggling subcontractors or a service provider managing remote teams, these updates improve visibility and reduce manual entry.
The user experience has also seen continued polish. Acumatica’s web-based platform remains one of the most modern and responsive in the ERP space, and 2025 R1 improves mobile navigation and personalization even further. Custom dashboards, AI-driven suggestions, and visual process automation allow teams to work the way they want, without sacrificing control or compliance.
If you’re still running an on-premise ERP like Macola or stitching together operations with Excel and QuickBooks, you’re missing out on the flexibility and speed that modern cloud platforms offer. With Acumatica, businesses no longer need to choose between functionality and affordability.
Unlike most legacy software, Acumatica offers unlimited user access, meaning your entire team; sales, service, operations, finance can collaborate in one system without the cost scaling per headcount. This opens up powerful cross-functional coordination without licensing penalties.
Moreover, Acumatica’s open API architecture makes it easy to connect with the tools you already use, including Power BI, HubSpot, Shopify, and dozens more. Algorithm’s team regularly implements integrations between Acumatica and QBuild Software, ShipHawk, EBizCharge, and advanced WMS platforms. This kind of seamless data flow is nearly impossible with outdated systems.
Choosing to migrate to Acumatica is a strategic move, but choosing the right partner is critical to making it successful. That’s where Algorithm brings unmatched value.

Acumatica’s flexibility is a huge selling point, but its industry editions bring tailored tools that give it a major edge. The Manufacturing Edition includes MRP, production scheduling, and quality tracking. The Distribution Edition supports advanced replenishment logic, lot and serial tracking, and intelligent location management. Construction and field service teams benefit from mobile project tracking, RFIs, and equipment usage reporting. And because Acumatica updates all editions on a single codebase, there’s no lag between innovations, it’s fast, unified, and secure.
The 2025 R1 release reflects Acumatica’s commitment to real-world business needs, customer feedback, and constant improvement. If your current system can't support mobile workforces, multi-location inventory, or real-time analytics, it’s time to move forward.
