Migrate your Accura data
Print MIS and ERP system for mid-size print shops integrating CRM, job management, and web-to-print in a single platform.
In its favor
Why people choose Accura
The signal that keeps Accura on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
All-in-one print-shop platform — Accura MIS/Accura360 bundles CRM, estimating, production, proofing, dispatch, invoicing, purchasing, stock and job costing into a single database, eliminating multi-system stitching that smaller print shops struggle with.
Bi-directional accounting sync with Xero, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB via the AccuraSync module removes duplicate invoice entry, which Capterra reviewers cite as a meaningful time saver.
Shop floor visibility via the Remote Data Capture (RDC) module gives real-time press operator timing, stock usage, and job costing data without requiring complex configuration on shop terminals.
ODBC driver provides direct database access for Excel, Crystal Reports, Power BI, and Qlik — uncommon openness for a vertical print MIS and useful for firms doing custom reporting.
Multi-carrier shipping integration through AccuraSHIP (EasyPost-backed, 50+ carriers across 8 countries) and AccuraPOD GPS proof-of-delivery (Detrack-backed) handle fulfillment without separate logistics software.
Stock-control corrections are difficult once counts drift — Capterra reviewers explicitly call out that fixing inventory discrepancies is painful, prompting larger shops to move to ERPs with stronger inventory adjustment tooling.
No open public API — the vendor markets 'No APIs, No XML, No integration costs' as a positive, but firms wanting to integrate Accura with modern e-commerce, ERP, or BI systems beyond the supplied connectors hit a hard ceiling.
Pricing is fully sales-led with no published tiers, making it hard to forecast costs as the shop adds users or optional modules (Purchasing, RDC, Stock, Scheduling, Job Costing, ODBC are separate line items).
User community and third-party tooling are small compared to general-purpose ERPs, so firms outgrowing the platform find limited migration tooling, training material, or consulting partners.
Web2Print and modern customer-portal features lag behind newer cloud-native competitors like Printlogic, which prompts firms wanting a contemporary buyer-facing storefront to evaluate alternatives.

What gets migrated
Accura object support
Object-by-object support for Accura migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Customers
Mapping requiredCustomer records in Accura include billing and shipping contact details. Field names may differ between the source export and destination schema, requiring a field-level mapping pass before import.
Jobs/Orders
Mapping requiredJob records are the core entity in Accura MIS. They carry status, line items, and pricing. We extract the full job history and map stage names to the destination pipeline stages.
Inventory Items
Mapping requiredStock items and non-stock materials are tracked with quantities and cost basis. During migration, we flag items with negative balances or zero on-hand for customer review.
Invoices
Mapping requiredOpen and historical invoices can be exported. Paid invoices transfer as read-only records. We handle invoice-to-payment linking via reference numbers.
Vendors
Mapping requiredVendor records include contact info and terms. These map directly to most ERP vendors objects but require validation of duplicate-name handling in the destination.
Users
Mapping requiredAccura licenses are per-seat. We export user accounts with role and department assignments. User passwords do not transfer and require manual reset in the destination.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields added to any object are exported as additional columns. We carry them into the destination and flag any that lack a matching target field for manual configuration.
Attachments
Not in this platformJob files, proofs, and documents stored inside Accura are not reliably accessible via export. We document the file locations for manual retrieval rather than attempting automated transfer.
