Benefits of Working with an Acumatica Partner

Acumatica partners offer many avenues for implementation and growth, all centered around your unique business needs. The best Acumatica partners focus on six core areas:

Software Expertise

Acumatica partners are required to complete a rigorous certification process to maintain their partner designations. This means your Acumatica partner is guaranteed to have deep product knowledge and may even specialize in the editions and functionality you want to implement.

Customizations and Integrations

While all partners are well-versed in Acumatica, some are experienced with other business solutions. For instance, you may find a partner who can support sales and marketing solutions alongside an ERP like Acumatica. This skillset allows your partner to tailor your tech stack as your company grows and support you across multiple platforms.

Price

Although Acumatica has set pricing, your software partner may charge fees for additional services, such as software integrations or ongoing support. Your selected partner should offer fair, competitive pricing for your basic and advanced software needs.

Geographic Location

Thanks to Acumatica’s cloud structure, you have the flexibility to choose a partner from anywhere in the country. This means you have the freedom to select a local company to act as your Acumatica partner, or you can collaborate remotely for software implementation and support. Note that rates of service between partners vary based on geographic location—a partner in a large metropolitan area may charge a considerably different rate than a partner based in a rural location.

Ongoing Support

Acumatica partners are long-term collaborators who will offer ongoing, individualized support for your software. Whether you need to learn more about a new feature, repair a broken integration, or expand Acumatica’s capabilities, your software partner is there to help.

Tailored Solutions for Every Industry

Acumatica partners often specialize in specific editions, processes, or industries. This means it’s easy to find a partner with expertise not only in Acumatica, but also your specific business model. Because Acumatica offers industry-specific editions, it’s especially easy to find partners with experience in manufacturing, distribution, construction, and more.

How to Choose a Partner

Most businesses starting with Acumatica will only need VAR, Services, and ISV partners. When choosing partners, businesses should focus on finding one partner that offers multiple services, including the core three:

1
Acumatica software implementation
2
Integrations between Acumatica and third-party systems
3
Additional support for Acumatica and integrated software

Whether you’re picking a new business solution or the VAR who will implement it, you’re making a long-term decision. You want a partner that will stand by you as your needs change. Plus, the fewer cooks in the kitchen when configuring your software, the better. As you evaluate potential Acumatica partners, ask yourself the following questions and see if anyone can check off all the boxes:

Does this partner listen to and understand our unique business needs?
Does this partner have a high success rate of Acumatica implementations?
Does this partner have concrete examples of customer success stories?
Does this partner offer fair, competitive pricing for our basic and advanced software needs?
Does this partner know about Acumatica and the business software space?
Does this partner offer long-term, personalized support?
Will this partner be there for me whenever I need them?
