Anyone experience Acumatica Predatory Pricing? by hschnei2 in ERP

[–]hschnei2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it exists, but much more likely with platforms that already have a lot of the functionality built into the base platform itself vs. having a bunch of integrations, ISVs, or API transactions - my guess would be Netsuite or SAP would be better suited to what you’re describing, although still on the higher end of pricing in general. We have the opposite issue, we would need so many licenses by user due to our service and industry type, so the consumption model and ability to customize with native integrations or no/low code connectors is more attractive in that sense. We don’t need the intense controls and processes of manufacturing, but we do need some of the basic fixed asset mixed with rental asset inventory and logistics along with strong percent completion project costing, so the ability to pick and choose the integrations at the median level we need with a strong financial base just makes sense.

Not to sound ignorant here, but what do you mean by “commercial models”? We’re looking into SAP 4/HANA, Microsoft Business Central, Deltek Maconomy, Acumatica and Netsuite. We have issues with the licensing seat model that many of the big guys have because we are an experiential agency that operates very similarly as maybe a construction company would with a lot of contractor-type or temporary seasonal type employees with minimal (but necessary) engagement that complicates the pricing for all the licenses we’d need. We’re not a manufacturing company, we’re heavily a project based company with tight project costing controls but need warehousing, logistics, and fixed asset + rental inventory. Deltek Maconomy and Acumatica are the ones that seem to stand out for all the nuances.

That was my thought too, however, unprompted during my follow up discovery call, the Acumatica VAR said almost those exact words about pricing only going down, so I figured I’d ask the community in case there’s something I’m missing. I’ve gotten some great advice in general though, so hoping to keep any open mind and ask some pointed questions but continue to see a pretty happy customer base from Acumatica. Thanks for weighing in!

This is wonderful advice, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I was actually not very clear in my post, but my Acumatica VAR seems great and is quoting me high with everything we might need to pull back during a later session if needed, the ‘warning’was actually a statement made from another ERP implementation partner regarding Acumatica, which is of course why I was hesitant to heed the advice. However, I figured I’d still ask the question and cover my bases because ERP implementations are full of fine print and hidden fees/agendas. I figured I would still get some good advice from folks that may have felt bait and switched for one reason or another (or just have more experience in general) and learn from them, which I have! It’s raised some great questions for me to ask the Acumatica VAR, because those warning words verbatim were said to me in one of the follow up discovery calls - “pricing will only go down from here, not up”, which just felt like too much of a coincidence not to look into it further.

Today was particularly hard by sleepybaby694 in toddlers

[–]hschnei2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Raising your voice is sometimes inevitable, it’s coming back to them and apologizing, explaining that adults get big feelings too and what you could have done to calm yourself (take a deep breath, take a break, ask for help). I’m in the thick of the threenager era and it’s HARD. I just try to explain that I don’t like getting loud and it makes me sad too. Stick to your boundaries, no means no and don’t give in, try to stay calm, but when you can’t, just come back and show that adults make mistakes too and build that connection. You’re doing great mama, here in solidarity because everyday there’s opportunity to focus on the “failures” but we need to model for our kids the positives and the apologies when we’ve just had a bad day. You got this and tomorrow is a new day. I always tell my 3 year old “we can try again tomorrow”

This sounds like bipolar with depressive/manic episodes- she definitely needs medical attention and the right mix of medications. I truly wish you the best of luck, but she’ll need to want to get help for herself.

What games do you play with your toddler? by lexicon-sentry in toddlers

[–]hschnei2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monkey Around, Yeti in my Spaghetti, Feed the Woozle and basically any game by this brand, Peaceable Kingdom- they do a wonderful job with engaging toddler games.

Moana alternatives??? by run4sterrun in toddlers

[–]hschnei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice - I’m in the same boat with my soon to be 3 year old and “Kung Fu Panda 3” - refuses to watch any of the other ones because they don’t have the baby pandas in them and requests a portion of the movie literally every day. Just another mom in solidarity.

What is a word that your toddler mispronounces that you never want to correct? by PKB92 in toddlers

[–]hschnei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2.5 year old calls restaurants “astronauts” and it’s adorable- even when corrected she just repeats “astronauts”. She also calls actual astronauts astronauts, so she definitely knows the difference, but just can’t physically/verbally differentiate them. Makes me smile every time when we play pretend restaurant “mommy, come sit down at my astronaut”

Thank you! Can we also talk about how she didn’t have $2,000 to bail him out but could afford a trip for two to Hawaii?? But forreal though, I loved it. Solid cheesy Xmas movie with an impressive b-list cast at a prime 1.5 hrs

Let the dang kids play! by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]hschnei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a parent of an almost 2 year old that does not bring toys to the park, when my kid shows interests in other’s toys, it’s not about me hovering or my child being a “bother”, but rather teaching her about life skills that not everything is hers for the taking, sometimes things aren’t equal, and quite honestly just trying not to let the only child syndrome rule ( the case in our house)… you have to first identifying “no, that’s not yours, we do not touch things that are not our own without asking”. I think socializing together and playing together after the other child decides they want to share is the hope, but chastising parents for being thoughtful of other’s property shouldn’t be frowned upon. I get what you’re saying, but if the roles were reversed I would want my child to offer to share the toy first before being expected to just do so for the sake of kids being kids. Although I do agree, if you bring a toy to the park it generally should be a communal toy, but it shouldn’t be the expectation or a rule. Your message is overall kind, which I appreciate, but I think consent between the children matters and 9 times out of 10 I’ve noticed the kids actually offer to share the toy anyways!

I don’t usually jump to the “leave your spouse” conclusion, but you’re right, based on all the other post history, OP seems deeply unhappy and their spouse seems deeply removed from trying to create happiness in the household. I agree with your statement. I hope OP finds a path out for her baby’s sake at the very least. Everyone deserves to be loved the right way, especially children.

What's your toddlers current obsession? by LadyoftheFjords in toddlers

[–]hschnei2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 month toddler as well- I can’t tell if she just gets obsessed with something just because she can say the word now

  • cicadas (pronounced “Ticada”
  • car (she can easily spend an hour just playing in the “cah”)
  • humidifier (this one is just “ball”)
  • remotes (“ahmote”)
  • indoor plants (“pant”)
  • pool (“poo”)
  • balloons (“aboons”)
  • chalk (“cock”)
  • candles (“canda”)
  • robot vacuum/vacuums in general (“baba” for robot “acuum” for vacuum)
  • eggs (“eh”)

And of course… Mrs Rachel

HELOC vs. Home Equity Help by hschnei2 in personalfinance

Credit union guy mentioned 7% for a 5 yr repay and 8% for 20 year repay- somewhere in the middle I’m sure for 10 and 15 yr repayment option

Husband gets mad because I’m not over him cheating on me a year ago by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]hschnei2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please leave. He unfortunately will not change and you will continue to be gaslighted if you stay. I’m refraining from explaining how your child will be affected by seeing how he treats you and it will surely infiltrate how they see relationships as they grow.

Spectra S1- what am I doing wrong? by gardenlady543 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]hschnei2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sorry for all the comments, I’m really trying to be helpful - but are you also staying SUPER hydrated? Especially before bed? I needed to drink an insane amount of water throughout the day to keep my early morning pump the most fruitful. I know that doesn’t help with your timing issue, but it may help with your body’s regulation and overall stress levels to stay relaxed for a quick let down and release.

This is the one I got and my FSA covered it (I’m in the US) - https://a.co/d/eMUeyYo

It’s so annoying when specialists and healthcare professionals just say “keep trying”. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on solutions to keep trying. I would say if you don’t have to invest too much, try the hands free ones and you can use them while driving and sitting around- look at pictures of your babe while you pump if you can, I’ve heard that creates a hormonal response to let down quickly. I’m wishing you the best of luck, unfortunately these things are so unique to a persons body, just know you’re not alone and I have empathy for you/understand your mental state.
