Migrate from BME Manufacturing Software
to Acumatica Cloud ERP

BME works for manufacturers at a certain stage. When your business outgrows it, the next step is a cloud-native ERP built specifically for how manufacturers operate. Xcellerated Solutions migrates manufacturers from BME onto Acumatica, preserving your data and configuring the system for your production workflows from day one.

Why BME Manufacturing Users Are Moving to Acumatica

BME serves a specific segment of manufacturers well, especially smaller operations that need production management and basic financials in one place without the overhead of a full mid-market ERP. But there is a point where it stops keeping pace.
The most common reasons manufacturers on BME start looking for an alternative:
The system runs on-premise, and the IT overhead of maintaining the server, managing backups, and handling version updates has become a cost your team should not be carrying. Cloud access is limited or nonexistent, which means your team cannot work remotely without a workaround.
Reporting is constrained. You can pull standard reports, but the management visibility your leadership team needs, including live job costs, production efficiency by work center, and purchasing against demand, requires exports and manual rebuilding in Excel.
The platform is not keeping pace with your growth. You have added warehouses, added entities, or expanded your product line, and BME is not scaling cleanly with those changes.
Acumatica Manufacturing Edition is built for what comes next. It is cloud-native, scales without adding per-user licensing costs, and connects production, inventory, purchasing, and financials in one platform where every transaction is visible in real time.

What Is BME Manufacturing Software?

  • BME, sometimes referred to as Business Management Express, is a manufacturing-focused ERP system designed for small to mid-size manufacturers. It covers production orders, inventory, purchasing, and basic financial management in an integrated platform that has served its market for many years.
  • It is an on-premise system. That architecture made sense when it was designed. For manufacturers today who need cloud access, open API connectivity, and a platform that updates automatically without an IT project, the architecture is a limitation.
  • Manufacturers who have been on BME for five or more years are typically running a version of the software that is well behind current development, on a server that requires attention from IT, and without the reporting visibility their finance and operations teams need to make decisions without waiting for someone to pull data manually.

What Acumatica Manufacturing Edition Gives You That BME Does Not

Acumatica gives manufacturers stronger production control, live costing, shop floor visibility, and cloud access without relying on disconnected tools or manual imports.

Production Planning and BOM
Multi-level BOMs, revision control, engineering change orders, and production order management are tied directly to financials. Costs and production orders update when BOMs change.
Material Requirements Planning

MRP uses live demand from sales orders and production schedules instead of static reorder points. Purchasing teams buy what production needs based on current data.

Real-Time Job Costing
Labor, materials, and overhead post to the job as work is reported on the shop floor. Finance sees actual job costs before the order closes.
parcel
Shop Floor Control
Production teams report labor, materials, and progress from a mobile device or workstation. Data posts to the job and general ledger without end-of-shift re-entry.

Cloud Access and Automatic Updates
Acumatica runs in the browser, so teams can access it from any device without a VPN. Updates happen twice a year without a separate IT project.

Open API
Acumatica connects to ecommerce, EDI, shipping tools, and other systems your operation depends on. BME’s integration options are more limited by comparison.

How We Migrate You From BME TO ACUMATICA

We manage the full BME to Acumatica migration process, from data audit and field mapping to manufacturing configuration, parallel testing, go-live, and post-launch support.

cloud (1)
Discovery and Data Audit

We map your BME data structure, including production history, item master, customer and vendor records, open transactions, and inventory. We document exactly what moves to Acumatica and what needs a decision before cutover.

Data Mapping and Transformation

We build the transformation logic that converts your BME data into Acumatica’s structure. Every field is mapped explicitly, and custom fields without a direct Acumatica equivalent get a documented decision before go-live.

Acumatica Configuration

We configure Acumatica Manufacturing Edition for your specific production mode, including make-to-order, make-to-stock, engineer-to-order, or a combination. Workflows, approval rules, reporting, and integrations are configured before your team touches the live system.

Parallel Operation

We run BME and Acumatica in parallel through an agreed period. Your team processes real transactions in both systems, so discrepancies surface here instead of after go-live.

Go-Live and Post-Launch Support

Cutover is planned and supported by our team. Post-launch support is included in the engagement, because the first 30 to 60 days after go-live are when questions surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About BME to Acumatica Migration

No, not if the migration is done correctly. We run a data audit before writing any migration logic that maps every table in BME to its destination in Acumatica. Production history, inventory, customer and vendor records, open transactions, and historical financial data all move. Anything that does not have a direct mapping gets a documented decision before go-live. We run parallel operations to validate that everything arrived correctly before your team cuts over to Acumatica as the system of record.
Most migrations take between three and five months from scoping to go-live. The timeline depends on the complexity of your production setup, the volume of historical data being migrated, and how many integrations need to be built before launch. Manufacturers with complex BOM structures or multiple entities typically take longer. We give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation during the scoping call.
Yes, and in most cases with significantly more depth. Acumatica Manufacturing Edition covers production orders, BOM, MRP, shop floor control, and quality management natively. For manufacturers who have built custom workflows in BME, we assess each one during discovery and configure the equivalent in Acumatica, or build a custom extension inside Acumatica’s framework where standard configuration does not cover it.
Cost depends on the complexity of your production setup, the volume of data, and the number of modules and integrations needed in Acumatica. A scoping call is the right starting point, we will ask the right questions and give you a number that reflects what the migration actually involves rather than a generic range.
Post-launch support is included in every migration engagement we run. The first 30 to 60 days after go-live are when questions surface that did not come up during training, and when reports that looked complete in testing need adjustment under real month-end conditions. We stay engaged through that period without a separate support contract.
