In September, Information Integration Group Inc. (IIG Services)
hosted a three-part AcuFieldOps Master Class designed for
Acumatica partners. Across the series, IIG walked through acuConstEquipMgmt,
its all-in-one AcuFieldOps bundle for Acumatica Cloud ERP, using live demos
built around real-world scenarios. If you missed it, here's a look at the
highlights and why they matter for partners and the businesses they serve.
Why AcuFieldOpsDeserves a Dedicated Solution
Construction and equipment-intensive businesses operate differently from traditional distributors. Their most valuable assets move constantly between yards, job sites, repair bays, and customers. When rentals, repairs, and projects are tracked in disconnected spreadsheets, businesses lose visibility, and money leaks through missed billing, idle equipment, and unplanned repairs.
With over 30 years of experience in the equipment maintenance and rental
industries, IIG designed acuConstEquipMgmt to bring equipment maintenance and
rental processing together in Acumatica, from CPQ, sales, repair, and crewing
through to CRM and financials.
Equipment Setup That Starts Everything Right
The master class began with the equipment record. acuConstEquipMgmt
automatically generates the records a construction business needs, including
fixed assets. Serialized stock status shows whether a unit is out on rent or in
for repair, telematics integration brings in status updates from equipment GPS
devices, and equipment records connect to Daily Field Reports so job site
activity flows back into the ERP.
Staying Ahead of Maintenance
Scheduled service requirements are set up by equipment, so preventive
maintenance is tracked by the system rather than by memory. Partners also saw
check-in and check-out inspections during rental processing, with repair orders
created based on inspection results, closing the loop between the yard and the
service bay. Inspection forms and checklists also support compliance management,
helping businesses stay audit-ready.
Answering the Big Question With Equipment ROI
The segment that drew the most interest was Equipment ROI.
Revenue and cost post to each piece of equipment by cost code, including rental
revenue, AP bills, project transactions, repairs, fixed asset depreciation, and
scheduled services. ROI can be viewed at a summary level or by period, with
drill-down to the source transaction. For business owners, that means buy,
sell, or retire decisions backed by real data instead of gut feel.
Rental Tracking and Flexible Billing
The demos covered time-based equipment availability, yard moves between job
sites and warehouses, and rental entry and returns. When stock runs short,
users can generate warehouse transfers or sub-rental purchase orders. Rental
invoices can be generated on a monthly, 28-day, weekly, or scheduled billing
cycle based on rental days and metered usage, with revenue and cost posting to
projects upfront, upon return, or on a schedule.
Crews, Kits, and Scheduling in the Field
The final demos focused on the people who put equipment to work. Project
phases such as mobilization, installation, and teardown can have defined skill
requirements and crew makeup. Crews are scheduled from the project or sales
order and dispatched through a crew scheduling board, with labor flowing into
Acumatica timecards. Kit assembly, work orders, and a truck scheduling
dashboard for delivery and pickup rounded out an end-to-end view from quote to
job completion.
Tools That Help Acumatica Partners Sell and Implement
What set this master class apart was its focus on partner success. Attendees
learned about a ready-to-use demo site with data for five common scenarios,
along with overview recordings, demo scripts, and user documentation. Partners
also heard about the IIG Star Alliance Program, which offers
discounted implementation and development rates for Acumatica partners, plus
rebates on IIG ISV product SaaS fees.
