Comparing Top Acumatica Partners to Stellar One

If you’re considering Acumatica as your ERP solution, you’ve probably discovered that they only sell through channel partners. To buy Acumatica, you will need to either pick a partner or let Acumatica assign you to a partner. 

If you decide to select your Acumatica partner, where do you start? There are hundreds of Acumatica partners, and no online directory is available. So, how do you choose the best one for your business needs? 

That includes showing you how Stellar One stacks up. While we're biased toward our own approach, we used fact-based information and parameters here, not opinions.

In this article, we compare the top-rated Acumatica partners using key consideration areas, such as industry focus, sales approach, and the availability of online pricing. We'll also show you how Stellar One stacks up so you can make an informed decision.
