The Mid-Market ERP Dilemma

One is too simple, the other too complex. Is there one that fits?

Mid-market businesses face many unique challenges. By “mid-market” we mean companies with 20–500 employees. They must manage a complete supply chain, engage customers with tech-enabled processes, optimize manufacturing operations, and often operate internationally across time zones, languages, and currencies. For these reasons, mid-market businesses need sophisticated ERP systems just like their larger competitors.

However, these companies typically lack the in-house IT resources of larger enterprises. What they need is powerful ERP and CRM software that’s cost-effective to acquire and maintain. Finding the right solution can be daunting, leading many to wonder…

We’re not big enough!

Legacy ERP and CRM vendors offer rich functionality, but at a heavy price. Their on-premise solutions require significant investments in hardware, networking, and IT staff. Those capital and operating expenses put them out of reach for most mid-market companies, which naturally turn to cloud-based alternatives.

The platform isn’t simple enough!

Cloud and SaaS ERP/CRM solutions can be much less expensive, but many lack the deep execution and planning features needed by distribution, retail, services, or manufacturing firms—especially those with multi-language and multi-currency requirements. These lighter platforms often fall short of essential capabilities and can’t support growth or integration of new technologies.

There are no solutions that meet our needs! Wait, is there?

At Acumatica, we focus exclusively on the mid-market, the true engines of economic growth and innovation. Our cloud SaaS ERP and CRM solutions deliver multi-site, multi-language, and multi-currency functionality that’s easily adapted and customized.

“What we looked for and did not find [until Acumatica] was a solution that would integrate our POS system, our financials, our manufacturing, our order processing, and our web orders—all on the budget of a small company. People said, ‘Do you want to spend five million dollars?’ Industry experts told me, ‘What you’re looking for at your size does not exist.’”
