About Parallel Solutions

ERP consultants who've also stood on the shop floor.

Parallel Solutions helps small and mid-sized manufacturers move beyond disconnected systems and manual, spreadsheet-driven processes onto a modern, unified ERP platform. As a Gold Certified Acumatica partner, the team combines deep ERP expertise with real manufacturing and shop-floor experience — not just software knowledge — so they understand the operational challenges manufacturers face day to day: inventory accuracy, production scheduling, purchasing, warehousing, and financial reporting that doesn’t require reconciling three different systems.

Based in Warrensville Heights Ohio and serving Greater Cleveland and beyond since 1995, the team works closely with each client from discovery through implementation and stays engaged long after go-live. Some of our manufacturing clients include metal fabrication, plastics, hardwood flooring, and other niches.

In their words
