Scaling delivery ops with your Acumatica growth

What Acumatica does well

Acumatica is a true cloud ERP designed for growing mid-market businesses. Its consumption-based licensing means you pay for resources used, not per user -- making it ideal for organizations scaling rapidly. Acumatica Distribution manages inventory, purchasing, and order processing. Acumatica Commerce connects your e-commerce storefront. Acumatica Manufacturing handles production. All editions share a unified data platform with built-in CRM.

The delivery management gap

Acumatica offers basic shipping capabilities -- carrier API integration for label generation and tracking numbers from UPS, FedEx, and similar carriers. But for businesses running their own delivery fleet, Acumatica provides no driver dispatch, no multi-stop route optimization, no real-time GPS vehicle tracking, no automated customer ETA notifications, and no digital proof of delivery. As order volumes grow, the manual delivery coordination that worked at 20 orders per day breaks down completely at 200.

How Locate2u completes the picture

Locate2u gives Acumatica businesses a delivery management platform that scales. Orders from Acumatica Distribution or Commerce automatically flow to Locate2u for smart dispatch. Routes are optimized across your fleet. Customers receive tracking links with live ETAs. Proof of delivery syncs back to Acumatica shipment records. As your business grows, Locate2u handles the increasing delivery complexity without adding headcount.

Pain Points

Growing pains Acumatica businesses face with delivery

Delivery operations cannot keep pace with order growth

Acumatica handles growing order volumes effortlessly with its cloud architecture and unlimited user licensing. But delivery operations that rely on manual dispatch, phone calls, and paper manifests collapse under the same growth. The bottleneck shifts from your ERP to your delivery workflow.

Carrier tracking is not fleet management

Acumatica integrates with carriers like UPS and FedEx for tracking numbers and labels. But if you deliver with your own fleet, these carrier integrations are useless. You need driver dispatch, route optimization, and real-time GPS tracking for your vehicles -- capabilities Acumatica does not provide for private fleets.

E-commerce customers expect delivery tracking

Acumatica Commerce processes online orders, but customers receive minimal delivery visibility. Modern online shoppers expect real-time tracking, ETA notifications, and delivery confirmation messages. Without these, your e-commerce delivery experience falls behind competitors and drives customer service calls.

Manual reconciliation between delivery and Acumatica

Delivery confirmations are collected on paper or through driver phone calls, then manually entered into Acumatica to close shipments and trigger invoicing. This process creates delays, errors, and a daily reconciliation burden that grows linearly with delivery volume.
