Acclink

What Acclink does

Acclink, Ltd. is a privately-held business consulting and software reseller founded in 1998 and headquartered in the Columbus, Ohio area (with a secondary Westerville, OH address). The firm specializes in retail point-of-sale (POS) and accounting solutions, serving clients that range from small start-ups to large multi-location corporations across retail, manufacturing, and distribution. Its stated mission is to deliver practical business management solutions and post-sale support that extend beyond client expectations.

The company's core product portfolio centers on CounterPoint SQL, a Microsoft SQL Server-based POS and inventory management system (originally by Radiant Systems), complemented by Sage 300 ERP (formerly Accpac) for accounting and operations. Acclink extends these platforms with a layered set of add-ons including CPGateway (2-second internet-based credit card authorizations), CPOnline (e-commerce integration), CPMobile (iOS-based mobile POS), Customer Connect (email marketing), Smart Alerts (real-time operational notifications), and modules for multi-site operations, advanced pricing, serial number tracking, accounts receivable, and offline ticket entry. Manufacturing clients are served via MISys Manufacturing and Edisoft EDI integrations on the Sage 300 ERP backbone. Pre-configured POS hardware (scanners, printers, touchscreens, card readers) is sold alongside the software.

Acclink generates revenue through a mix of one-time software licensing (CounterPoint SQL, Sage 300 ERP), hardware sales, professional services (implementation, training, custom programming, custom report writing at $85–$120 per item), and recurring support contracts delivered via remote access. The go-to-market is sales-led, with direct phone and website channels, free demonstrations, and quote-based pricing. A 2016 alliance with Perryman & Associates positioned Acclink as the Certified Implementation Partner for Sage ERP 300 while Perryman assumed formal Sage Business Partner status, broadening the combined offering into HR, payroll, talent, timekeeping, and managed IT services. The firm operates on a nationwide basis using remote access tooling from its Columbus base.

• NetSuite (Oracle): Cloud ERP incumbent offering accounting, inventory, and multi-location retail management overlapping with Acclink's Sage 300 ERP + CounterPoint offering, but at enterprise scale and SaaS-native delivery.
• Shopify POS: Retail POS offering from Shopify targeting multi-location SMB retailers with integrated ecommerce and inventory — a SaaS-native alternative to the CounterPoint+CPOnline bundle.
• Toast: Cloud POS platform purpose-built for restaurants and increasingly multi-location retail; competes with Acclink for the SMB retail/merchant wallet with integrated payments and hardware.
• Square (Block): Cloud POS and payments ecosystem for SMBs. Overlaps with Acclink's POS+payment gateway (CPGateway) value proposition with simpler onboarding and no upfront license cost.
• Lightspeed: Cloud POS and retail management platform with multi-location inventory, ecommerce, and payments — a direct modern replacement for the CounterPoint on-prem stack Acclink resells.
