02Positioning

How Stackmark characterises each system, in its own words, from the sourced record.

Acumatica

Mid-market cloud ERP licensed by resource consumption rather than per named user, which makes it attractive where many occasional users need access. Sold through a partner channel.

Aptean ERP

A family of industry-specific ERP products for food and beverage, fashion and apparel, discrete and process manufacturing, distribution and retail, and life sciences, delivered through Aptean's AppCentral platform. Aptean targets mid-sized to large companies that have outgrown entry-level systems.

03Module coverage

Every module either system documents, side by side. A module both list is a shared claim, not a statement that the two implementations are equivalent.
