Is your company exploring midmarket ERP solutions that merge manufacturing, distribution, and intelligent automation capabilities into a single system? Well, you might want to consider Priority ERP, the platform offered by Priority Software.
Better yet, you can register and attend TEC’s Enterprise Software Showcase (ESS) 2026, to take place February 23 to 25, in Austin, Texas. At ESS 2026, you will have the opportunity to see a demo of Priority ERP live, featuring the ERP’s next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) suite and cloud-native architecture.
This ERP system resonates particularly well with small to midsize business (SMB) and midmarket organizations in manufacturing, wholesale/distribution, electronics, or pharma—industries that need deep functionality without enterprise-level complexity.
If your business is scaling, managing multisite operations, or integrating supply chains, production, and finance, this is an ERP system worth your attention.
Priority ERP is delivered as a true software as a service (SaaS), cloud-native platform built on AWS’ infrastructure, offering sub-second performance, automatic updates, and built-in security (SOC 2/ISO 27001) with global scalability. While the software provider offers support for on-premises or hybrid deployments in certain markets, its strength lies in its cloud-first agility.
The ERP caters to operations in industries such as manufacturing (discrete, process, mixed mode), wholesale & distribution, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and technology services. Key functional capabilities include the following:
• Finance & accounting: multicompany, multicurrency, revenue recognition, fixed assets, integrated cash flow, and budgeting.
• Manufacturing & production management: materials planning, bills of materials (BOMs), shop-floor monitoring, traceability, both discrete and process setups.
• Supply chain & inventory: materials requirements planning (MRP), warehousing, delivery scheduling, inventory optimization, and full supply chain management (SCM) visibility.
• Analytics, mobile, process automation: embedded business intelligence (BI) dashboards, mobile access for field/warehouse operations, and automation hubs for routine tasks.

What truly differentiates Priority ERP from other ERPs on the market is its embedded intelligence and adaptability. The platform’s “AI” layer considers AI not in the form of an add-on module but as part of the system’s fabric. That means that you can engage the system via natural-language chats to run reports, forecast demand, generate workflows, or optimize delivery routes.
This shift from ERP with AI as an add-on to ERP with embedded AI capabilities is a notable evolution for ERPs catering to midmarket firms.
Another hallmark is the platform’s flexible, open architecture: drag-and-drop workflow tools, low-code/no-code customization, as well as a broad number of application programming interfaces (APIs) and ready-made connectors. This matters when you need to adapt quickly rather than retrofit a legacy solution.
Priority ERP maintains strong visibility across finance, operations, and supply chain for midmarket firms—areas sometimes compromised in lightweight systems. The breadth of functionality, without the complexity of enterprise solutions, is a big plus.
“Priority helped us meet our goals at every department and process in the business and we feel much more efficient”
Danielle Bruck, COO at Octal
From TEC’s research viewpoint, there is a growing requirement among SMB and midmarket organizations: ERP systems must offer deep vertical capabilities (manufacturing/distribution), embedded intelligence, and cloud-native flexibility. Priority ERP seems to check off all three boxes.
In the competitive ERP space for midmarket manufacturing, you will see solutions emphasizing cloud, AI, and speed of deployment. Priority has a distinctive mark by combining those features with industry-specific functionality (manufacturing traceability, global operations, SCM) rather than just generic modules.
That said, for ultra high–volume global manufacturers with extreme specialization, or for organizations already heavily invested in legacy systems, the transition to Priority ERP still deserves careful planning. But for ambitious midmarket manufacturers and distributors, Priority ERP offers a compelling path forward.
Priority’s traceability, compliance, and quality-control features stand out above the rest and may outcompete solutions for manufacturing and regulated industries.
Attending Priority’s ERP session at ESS 2026 will give you a direct view of how this platform manages real-world growth challenges.
You will witness how decision makers turn data into proactive insights. In addition to seeing the Priority ERP demo live, you’ll have the opportunity to consult directly with Priority’s experts on how to conduct specific processes. For instance, you can see how inventory shortages are flagged, how manufacturing bottlenecks automatically surface, or how alerts trigger corrective workflows.
Attending ESS 2026 will give you access to Priority’s specialists, so you can assess how the system can meet your business needs. based on your role within the organization:
• Business leaders (CEOs, COOs, CFOs) can look at how Priority aids in controlling profitability, improving fulfillment, reducing time-to-market, and aligning operations with financial visibility. They will also see how the system accommodates rapid expansion, multi-site/global operations, variable manufacturing processes, and shifting customer demands.
• IT leaders can evaluate how configurable the platform is (without heavy custom coding), how integrations behave, and what deployment flexibility (cloud/hybrid) looks like in practice.
• Consultants and ERP advisors can better understand how Priority positions the
“intelligent cloud ERP” segment for midmarket firms, and how its AI approach differs from simpler automation.
