Field teams can submit time and expenses, update RFIs, send daily reports, and annotate drawings and photo logs on mobile devices. Change order workflows support unit rate, retainage, and cost-only changes and can link drop-ship workflows. The platform supports Android, iOS, cross-browser use, and deployment on public or private cloud. Its open APIs support integrations including Procore, STACK, Hyphen Solutions, Criterion, SmartSheet, Microsoft Office 365, DocuSign, and Adobe. Acumatica lists role-based access, MFA, encryption, audit trails, backups, and disaster recovery among its security measures, and says it meets or exceeds standards including SOC 1/2/3, GDPR, and FDA.
