Native ERP Integration
We connect directly to SyteLine, Epicor, JDE, Acumatica, SAP, and NetSuite. Every other PRM on this list requires middleware, a MuleSoft project, or a Zapier workaround.
Competitive Comparison
Built for Manufacturing. Every Other PRM Wasn't.
The PRM market was designed for software reseller channels — SaaS companies running referral programs, deal registration, and co-branded campaigns. If you're a manufacturer with a distributor network, those platforms were built for a completely different world. Here's how they stack up.
The Three Things That Matter
Live Window into Your ERP
Live order history, invoices, stock, and pricing pulled from your ERP — not a nightly CSV dump. PRMs call this a goal. We ship it.
Weeks, Not Quarters
Most manufacturers go live in 9 weeks or less. No ERP migration, no internal retraining, no process change. Impartner averages 3–12 months.
