Acumatica is relentlessly focused on providing innovative, AI-powered, and industry-specific capabilities to enable growing businesses to thrive in today’s digital world. Our Rallying Cry brilliantly captures our unique approach to making good on this promise: “Building the Future of Business, Together.”
Simply put, when the Acumatica Community works collaboratively towards a united goal, we’ll meet—if not exceed—it.
Our product roadmap is guided and driven by the concept of “Customer-Driven Innovation,” where direct feedback from the Acumatica Community of partners, developers, and customers helps define our twice-yearly updates designed to help our users become more agile, adaptable, and strategic in a complex marketplace.
Today, we’re excited to announce that our latest release, Acumatica 2026 R1, has reached general availability and is filled with a multitude of customer-driven improvements and innovations, delivering AI-enabled intelligence that works for you.
With Acumatica 2026 R1, Acumatica users are not just getting updates to our comprehensive ERP solution; they’re gaining sophisticated, AI-powered innovations tailored to their industry. Every industry edition, from manufacturing, distribution, and retail to construction and professional services, has received new and expanded capabilities that will ensure operational success.
Acumatica 2026 R1’s AI-inspired improvements to our comprehensive industry applications and reporting capabilities align with the strategic product pillars we highlighted during Summit 2026. These pillars include ensuring the solution is future-ready, adaptable, built to deliver industry-specific functionality, delivering a great user experience, and providing AI-first innovation.
During the Day 2 Keynote, in announcing the beta availability of 2026 R1, Acumatica executives previewed key product enhancements of the new release, as outlined in our Day 2 press release:
As AI continues its momentum, Acumatica is taking the lead in the ERP space, helping customers strategically and responsibly adopt AI into their everyday workflows to enhance—not eclipse—human expertise.
“We’re building AI directly into our existing workflows, including at the industry level. We’re leveraging the power of our cloud to integrate rapidly changing AI capabilities, bringing them to you,” says Acumatica CEO John Case. “We’re doing all of this while maintaining our foundational principles of customer data ownership and data control.”
Ultimately, Acumatica’s industry-specific, intelligent tools are designed to work for our users. They’re delivering enhanced reporting and insights, while new partnerships and integrations, such as those that are bolstering our payments capabilities, along with customer input, are helping our customers solve real-world problems and gain real value on day one.
Over the coming days and weeks, we’ll be diving deeper into Acumatica’s capabilities as we continue this four-part Acumatica 2026 R1 series, and our upcoming press releases will also lay out industry-specific details for Acumatica customers. Stay tuned this week as we publish a series of press releases to share more about how Acumatica is delivering the capabilities businesses in every industry need today to be competitive and succeed.
