Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying

"It seems like Acumatica is on the rise, growing, and progressive with an open-source type community where we don't feel we are put into a bucket, and that the company would grow with us." Working with Premier Tech Partners, TRA Snow & Sun tripled its revenue, reduced complex order lead times from 3.5 weeks to just 10 days, and eliminated the manual paper processes that had been causing production delays across its manufacturing operations.

"Acumatica's ability to push and pull data has been phenomenal." Partnering with Premier Tech Partners, LVT connected its disconnected financial and manufacturing systems into one unified platform, slashed financial close time from 15 days to just 5, and scaled from 75 to over 230 employees — all without hiring additional accounting staff. Cloud access through Acumatica also kept the team running seamlessly throughout the pandemic.

"We can now better track a product as it goes through the entire process. Building formulas and handling our bills of materials is a lot better than doing it with Excel. Now we do it once and it's right." With Premier Tech Partners guiding the implementation, Trace Minerals grew revenue 6-fold, saw sales surge 50% in 2023, and replaced paper-based quality workflows with an integrated system spanning manufacturing, testing, and compliance.

Their team spent time onsite at the manufacturing plant and distribution center, conducted detailed walkthroughs with each accounting team, and actively advocated for enhancements on Acumatica's technology roadmap. PTP also introduced strategic ISV partners that elevated and expanded operations across Summit.
