Acumatica 2025 R1, Acumatica’s first release of the year, is finally here, bringing with it hundreds of new updates (link to press release that publishes on March 20).  In addition to AI-driven capabilities and industry-specific functionality, which we will cover in future blog posts, today we will focus on enhancements to our user experience and greater access to our highly anticipated new UI.

First introduced in 2023 at Summit and included as a beta feature in Acumatica 2024 R2, this modern UI represents a significant development and milestone in our ERP solution. . Our goal is to heighten our users’ Acumatica experience, and today, we’re excited to share what our new enhancements and modern UI brings to the table and the incredible benefits users can expect.

From Classic to Modern: Acumatica’s UI Journey

Acumatica has been the proud recipient of numerous awards, including multiple G2 “Easiest to Use” and “Best Usability” awards. Each award and accolade is a testament to our continued commitment to providing an intuitive, accessible ERP solution that allows users to get the job done easily, quickly, and efficiently.

In fact, Acumatica’s commitment to designing a web-based, user-friendly ERP solution was alive and well from our inception. Doug Johnson, Acumatica’s  VP of Solution Architecture, was there from the beginning, and in a 2024 interview about ERP product development, he explains that Acumatica was designed to allow developer-free configuration the meets each client’s individual and evolving needs.

Over the years, Acumatica has grown the platform, and this includes the decision to upgrade our UI. Says Doug, “In Acumatica 2024 R1, we previewed the new user interface, and, in 2024 R2, we’re getting even closer to it. And in 2025 , people are really going to love what they see in the new UI.”

Key Benefits of Acumatica’s Modern UI

Building on the evolution of our modern user interface (UI), Acumatica ERP 2025 R1 offers a select group of customers controlled access to the new UI.  Here’s what is included:

• Enhanced Aesthetics: Enjoy a sleek, refreshed look and effortlessly view information at a glance.
• Speedier Performance: Experience quicker response times, ensuring your tasks are completed in a flash.
• Personalization Power: Tailor forms to match your specific workflows and information needs, putting you in control.
• Responsive Design: The layout adapts seamlessly to any device you use, providing a consistent and intuitive experience.

The new UI is part of our broader product strategy to deliver the features and interfaces that customers truly love to use.  We pursue this strategy by:

• Delivering personalized experiences with easy to tailor interfaces, workflows, and dashboards on any device for specific users and roles
• Developing features that incorporate user research, usability testing, and telemetry analysis for dep understanding of user usage
• Leveraging our strong user community for continuous user experience improvements

We see this in the many user experience upgrades we’ve applied to our features as well as in the modern UI itself.

As I shared in the a two-part series on our modern UI (Part I and Part II), the move from our Classic UI to our Modern UI has meant a move away from our legacy ASPX code to more leading-edge technologies. Specifically, the Modern UI infrastructure is powered by a dynamic combination of HTML, TypeScript, and CSS—and relies on Aurelia.IO framework.

The updated framework ensures that our interface is highly responsive and allows our platform to flex into the future. Developers will enjoy familiar technology for simplified code support, granular customization, and simplified troubleshooting. Partners will have platform independency, a simple deployment on affordable platforms, and enhanced no-code development. And users will see improved speed, appreciate its responsive design, and welcome our flexible forms.

Where We Go from Here

From more mobile-friendly, visually appealing forms to user personalization and beyond, our new UI is designed to make the Acumatica user experience the best it’s ever been. Our community members will have the flexibility, control, and scalability they need and want with exciting features and modern architecture that will let them get things done while taking them from success to success.

Says POLYWOOD Executive VP of Information Services, Sean Valencourt, “Acumatica can scale with us, and we can scale with Acumatica. There’s no business process or customization that we have that Acumatica isn’t able to support because we don’t just have to use Acumatica out of the box. We can build on top of it. And that’s been
really key for us.”

Adds Michael Leedy, Manager ERP Systems, POLYWOOD, “At Acumatica’s Summit, you get a pretty clear roadmap about what future releases will be, so if you’re looking to grow your business, Acumatica is looking to grow too.”

Our customers’ ability to grow unhindered as well as to work unfettered is critically important to us, and providing our customers with the features and interfaces they truly love to use is vital to their growth and success — our modern UI is just another gigantic step in this direction.
