Is a Risk-Free Trial with Stellar One the right move for your business? Or would you benefit more from exploring other options?
Stellar One’s unique approach to buying and implementing ERP is unlike anything else on the market. And while we’d like to make ERP easier for every business, we aren’t the right fit for everyone.
We’ll show you exactly what types of companies benefit most from a Stellar One Risk-Free Trial, which companies should consider other options, and what to do next if Stellar One sounds like a fit.
Your business IS a good fit for the Stellar One Risk-Free Trial if:
You are a small to midsized business with annual revenue under $50 million
Stellar One uses methodology and processes geared toward small to midsized product businesses, from funded startups to established companies focused on growth.
You’re a product company in one of these industries:
Our team holds broad experience across several industries. The industries listed below align with that experience, making them an ideal fit.
● Apparel, Footwear & Accessories
● Electronics
● Food & Beverage
● Furniture & Decor
● Health & Beauty
● Retail
● Software & Technology
● Wholesale Distribution
Your business is using an entry-level tool like QuickBooks, and you need an upgrade
If your current system can’t keep up with your business, it’s time to move on. During our free trial, you get to experience how Acumatica and Stellar One help you scale to meet the changing needs of your customers and marketplace.
You’re ready to move to the cloud
You know that cloud-based ERP solutions offer important benefits to your company that you just can’t get with on-prem solutions. Automatic updates, easy remote access, and infrastructure and cybersecurity managed by your ERP provider top the list.
Your company is growing, and you need to advance your efficiency and operations
Bringing essential functions into a single platform helps eliminate redundancies, reduce errors, and speed up access to the information your team needs to operate at its highest level. Taking your data and business processes for a test drive during our free trial will help you know if Acumatica has what your business needs.
You need to take your customer service to the next level
Out-of-stock items, delayed order processing, and shipping mismanagement can all lead to unhappy customers who don’t return. They also cost you money and frustrate your team. During our free trial, you’ll see how Acumatica streamlines inventory management, enhances customer experiences, and reduces cart abandonment.
You’ve budgeted for an ERP, but watching costs is important
If you’re ready to invest in an ERP and need to control ongoing costs, the Stellar One approach is a great fit for your business. Before your trial starts, you will clearly understand your costs for the next five years if you move forward with Stellar One.
If this sounds unusual, it’s because it is. Stellar One is the only Acumatica partner (maybe the only ERP reseller) offering a 5-Year Price Lock without a multiyear commitment. It gives you the budgeting certainty you need to keep your business efficient and your costs in check.
Your business is ready to implement an ERP now
A Stellar One free trial isn’t anything like the industry-standard demo. Without commitment or cost, your free trial is all about getting you comfortable, confident, and ready to go with a full Acumatica Cloud ERP implementation from Stellar One. After your free trial ends, your ERP system can be up and running in as little as 90 days. Our process is for customers ready to go now!
Your business IS NOT a good fit for the Stellar One Risk-Free Trial if:
Your industry isn’t in our wheelhouse
Some industries just aren’t a good match for Stellar One’s approach. While Stellar One excels in industries that produce, distribute, or sell products—such as retail, eCommerce, distribution, and manufacturing—highly regulated industries with specific compliance needs aren't a match for our team’s strengths.
If you’re in one of the following fields, Acumatica is still a great choice.
Certified partners are available specializing in these areas:
● Automotive
● Cannabis
● Construction
● Financial, Banking, and Insurance
● Hospitals and Healthcare Providers
● Professional or Field Services
Your annual business revenue is over $50 million
If your recurring revenue is over $50 million, you may need a different implementation process and timeline than what is offered through the Stellar One process. While Acumatica Cloud ERP can support large enterprises, Stellar One focuses on serving smaller, growth-oriented businesses to ensure personalized help and agile implementation.
You want on-premises or third-party hosting of your ERP solution
If you're set on an on-prem system or third-party hosting, our free trial and product aren't right for you. Stellar One's Risk-Free Trial operates exclusively in the cloud using Acumatica Cloud ERP.
You are expecting a fully finished ERP system at the end of your trial
The Risk-Free Trial gives you a hands-on experience with a fully functioning minimum viable product (MVP), but it's not the final system.
With Stellar One, personalizing and adjusting to your Acumatica system for your business continue beyond your trial period and go-live date.
You aren't ready to share your business data during your ERP free trial
If you're uncomfortable using your real business data during a trial, this may not be the right path for you. Stellar One's Risk-Free Trial is unique because it allows you to test-drive the system with your actual data, not demo data.
While data privacy is a valid concern, we offer assurances through a mutual NDA and specific data protection guidelines. Our approach safeguards your data, and you will gain a better, more accurate assessment of how the ERP platform works for your business.
You're still exploring ERP solutions and aren’t seriously considering options
If you're "just browsing" or unsure of when you will make a decision, this trial might not be worth your time. Because the free trial is the launch pad for full implementation if you subscribe, your team needs to be involved. If you're not ready to invest that time, the timing isn't right for your company. The Risk-Free Trial is best suited for serious buyers who are ready now.
Your business doesn't have time to take on ERP deployment
If seasonal business demands or more pressing projects are in play for your business, this isn't the best approach for your company—right now.
Stellar One works with you to load data, configure the system, and explore its full potential. Your team needs to participate in calls, meetings, and data-sharing tasks. That usually means around 21 hours for each team member over the 45-day trial period.
Not having the bandwidth will make it tough to engage fully. If your team doesn’t have the necessary time, it's best to wait.
You need a highly specialized ERP with heavy customizations
If you're looking for a custom-built ERP system tailored to niche functions, Stellar One isn't the right partner. We help configure and personalize your out-of-the-box Acumatica platform, but we prefer to minimize customization one-offs.
Custom-built ERP platforms have higher costs and longer timelines. Most businesses are better off adapting their processes to a system focused on core business functions rather than building a one-off ERP solution.
If our free trial is a fit, what’s your next step?
Choosing the right ERP system and the right partner are some of your business's most important decisions. Knowing in advance that our free trial is a good fit saves your business time and frustration.
Your Risk-Free Trial gives you a chance to experience the power of Acumatica Cloud ERP—without guessing, confusion, or obligation. Ready to explore what's possible with a Stellar One? Let's get started.
