Parallel Solutions

What Parallel Solutions does

Parallel Solutions is a privately held ERP consulting and software reseller based in Warrensville Heights (Greater Cleveland), Ohio, operating with a small team of 1-10 employees. The firm functions primarily as an Acumatica Gold Certified Partner, reselling the Acumatica Cloud ERP platform and delivering implementation, customization, and ongoing support services to US-based mid-market manufacturing and distribution clients. Named customers include Portacool LLC, Quality Material Handling, Erickson International, Incubeta Group, Sheoga Hardwood Flooring, and Superprem Industries. The firm also resells Exact Software products (Exact Globe, Exact Synergy), giving it a secondary ERP line.

The company's technology architecture is anchored on the Acumatica Cloud ERP platform, extended with a curated set of third-party and proprietary add-ons: WiSys for warehouse management, TimeClock Plus for time and attendance, Avalara for tax compliance, eBizCharge for payment processing, LYNQ and V-Technologies for specialized functions, and PSACUFile, which appears to be a firm-branded document management module. Layered on top of this horizontal stack are vertical-specific configurations, notably pre-built ERP solutions for Hardwood Flooring Manufacturers and for the Plastic Injection Molding industry, indicating a strategy of turning generic platform capability into repeatable, industry-tuned implementations.

The business model combines two revenue streams: (1) professional services revenue from ERP consulting, implementation, and customization engagements, and (2) software resale and recurring subscription revenue generated through Acumatica (and Exact Software) licensing. Go-to-market is direct, with the firm serving mid-market manufacturers and distributors across multiple US states from its Ohio base. The 2025 Acumatica Customer Success Award is the most recent externally validated signal of delivery performance, and the Gold Certified Partner designation functions as the firm's primary channel credential. AI/ML capability is limited to features embedded in the Acumatica platform itself, with no disclosed proprietary AI development.
