What PRAGMATEK Consulting does

Pragmatek is a US-based management consulting and ERP implementation firm founded in 1989 and headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota, with an additional office in Chandler, Arizona. The firm specializes in IFS Cloud implementations (covering CRM, data migration, engineering, finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, field service management, project management, and other modules) and operational/process improvement consulting (supply chain, order-to-cash, inventory management, logistics, organizational change management). Pragmatek positions itself as the only North American firm offering both full ERP application and Field Service Management capabilities. As an IFS Authorized Channel Partner since 2018 and a Novacura Flow Partner, the firm also delivers low-code ERP customization and extension via the Novacura Flow platform, including applications for mobile, desktop, and barcode scanner endpoints with 50+ system connectors.

The firm operates with 50+ IFS consultants averaging 15+ years of experience (most with 20+ years in the industry) and a leadership team of Steve Bloom (Owner/CEO since 1994), Tim Allen (VP of Management Consulting/IFS Implementations), and Jodi Martin (General Manager). Customer engagement is direct and consultative, targeting C-level executives and boards at mid-sized and enterprise companies across manufacturing, construction, engineering, service, distribution, and energy verticals, with documented multi-year engagements (e.g., Lube-Tech since 2004) and outcome claims including $162M in supply chain savings over 3 years (Toro) and $18M in transportation cost reductions (Snap-on). Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements sold bespoke under multi-year contracts, with ancillary IFS licensing facilitation as an authorized channel partner.

In 2026, Pragmatek was acquired by Open Source Integrators, and the combined entity rebranded as Gray Matter Logic, extending the Peregrine AI platform beyond Odoo to support IFS Cloud and Acumatica. Delivery capacity is augmented through a certified technology partner, BiModal Solutions, based in Kraków, Poland, providing IFS configurations, Boomi integrations, data migration, and Novacura expertise. The Pragmatek brand and website remained active following the transaction.
