Acumatica 25R2: Modern UI & Smarter Workflows

A Faster, Cleaner Acumatica Experience

Acumatica 2025 R2 introduces the most significant visual and usability upgrade yet, a Modern User Interface (UI) designed for speed, clarity, and accessibility. The refreshed interface delivers a cleaner workspace, fewer clicks, and seamless performance across devices.

Users can now:

• Navigate faster with simplified menus and less clutter.
• Personalize layouts for role-based dashboards without coding.
• Users now have greater control over screen design that no-code or low-code.
• Experience faster load times through optimized data rendering.

The Modern UI isn’t just aesthetic, it transforms productivity. Acumatica redesigned its core interface to support future AI capabilities and greater customization flexibility. Companies that adopt 25R2 will find that onboarding new users, configuring dashboards, and completing daily tasks now take significantly less time.

What’s New in Acumatica 25R2?

To answer “What’s new in Acumatica 25R2?”, the release focuses on two main goals: smarter workflows and modernized user experience.

Smarter Workflows Across Modules

These updates help users move through workflows with less friction and better context, key ingredients for faster approvals and more accurate collaboration.

Preparing for Your 25R2 Upgrade

Acumatica follows a semi-annual release cycle (R1 & R2 each year), introducing major functional updates and dozens of smaller improvements every six months. To make the transition to 25R2 smooth, follow these upgrade best practices:

• Upgrade once per year. Staying within one major release ensures continued access to new features, security patches, and support.

• Request a sandbox environment. SaaS customers receive a complimentary 90-day sandbox. This test instance allows you to validate workflows, integrations, and customizations before upgrading production.

• Review release notes carefully. Each version builds on the previous one. When moving from 24R2 to 25R2, review both 25R1 and 25R2 notes to capture all intermediate changes.

• Verify ISV and customization compatibility. Confirm that all connected applications, such as payment gateways, EDI systems, or add-on solutions, are compatible with 25R2 to avoid downtime.

• Plan training and communication. Introduce the new UI as part of your testing. A short internal orientation helps users understand navigation changes and personalization options before go-live. 

These steps ensure a seamless upgrade path while reducing risk to ongoing operations.

Why Does Modern UI Matter?

The 25R2 Modern UI isn’t just about appearance; it’s about performance, consistency, and future readiness.

• Productivity: Users complete tasks with fewer clicks and less scrolling.

• Adoption: The intuitive layout reduces learning curves, allowing new employees to become productive faster.

• Scalability: Personalized layouts and role-based dashboards adapt easily as organizations grow.
