Perryman & Associates

What Perryman & Associates does

Perryman & Associates is a private Florida-based ERP consultancy and value-added reseller founded in 1993 by Carol Perryman and headquartered in DeLand, FL. The firm sells, implements, and supports mid-market business management software for small-to-mid-sized businesses across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean, with vertical specialization in manufacturing and distribution. Its core technology offerings consist of a proprietary LightWork Software suite (LightWork Time, LightWork Performance Management, and LightWork Recruit & Onboarding) connected via the LightWork Connector middleware to partner ERP and HRMS platforms including Sage 100, Sage 100c, Sage 300, Sage Fixed Assets, Sage HRMS, and Acumatica Cloud ERP. The LightWork suite is wholly owned IP, while the Sage and Acumatica products are distributed under certified partner agreements.

The company generates revenue across four streams: recurring software subscriptions and license resale (Sage, Acumatica, and LightWork SaaS), professional services for implementation, training, and consulting, and managed IT services including cloud hosting for Sage applications, backup and disaster recovery, virtualization, and proactive monitoring. Pricing is custom and quote-based with multi-year contracts, and no public pricing tiers are disclosed. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise and inside sales targeting mid-market customers with channel-driven demand from Sage and Acumatica partner ecosystems, supported by content marketing, webinars, and demo-request funnels.

The firm maintains a small team of 11-50 employees and operates without disclosed external funding, M&A, or leadership changes, suggesting stable founder-owned bootstrapped operations since inception. LightWork Software functions as a wholly-owned sub-brand, allowing the firm to layer differentiated HR technology on top of partner ERP stacks. The customer base is distributed across SMBs in manufacturing, distribution, and professional services with no disclosed anchor logos, indicating a long-tail book of business rather than concentrated enterprise relationships.
