Fortis and Pine Services Group are closing the gap between ERP systems and payments for thousands of businesses.
Ask most finance teams how payments and their ERP system work together, and you’ll get a tired laugh. Payments usually get bolted on after the ERP is already live, through a separate provider, on a separate timeline, with its own login and its own data. The two systems were never built to talk to each other, so someone on the finance team has to do the talking for them: exporting reports, matching transactions by hand, chasing down discrepancies. All just to answer where cash actually stands.
Fortis and Pine Services Group are teaming up to close that gap, so payments and accounts receivable work inside the ERP platforms businesses already run on, instead of alongside them.
Fewer Systems, Fewer Hours Lost to Reconciliation
Fortis builds ERP-native embedded payment workflows, meaning payment processing, ACH, and accounts receivable live directly inside platforms like NetSuite, Sage, and Acumatica rather than in a separate portal. Through this partnership, that capability now reaches Pine’s North American network of ERP consulting firms and VARs, the same advisors already helping businesses evaluate and implement the systems that run their financial operations.
The practical result: instead of assembling ERP, payments, and AR as three separate pieces over time, businesses can build one connected financial workflow from the start. Less manual reconciliation, better visibility into cash flow, and a finance team that spends its time on analysis instead of data entry.
“Payments are one of the highest-impact ways our portfolio companies can create value for their customers, and Fortis is a best-in-class partner to help them do it. Their embedded technology fits directly into the ERP systems we support, and we are thrilled to bring that capability to the Pine community.” Chris Milan, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships, Pine Services Group
A New Revenue Line for ERP Consultants and VARs
This isn’t only a smoother rollout for the businesses on the receiving end. For Pine’s network of consulting firms and VARs, it’s a new way to deepen the client relationship and generate recurring revenue. Rather than handing payments off to a separate provider once the ERP implementation wraps, partners can bring payments into the deal itself and get compensated for it on an ongoing basis, not just at the point of sale.
“Pine Services Group owns one of the strongest portfolios of ERP-focused VARs in the market. What excites me is that they think like operators, not just resellers. They understand the embedded payments opportunity from inside their own businesses, and that gives them a real head start activating it across their portfolio. We’re aligned on customer outcomes and committed to proving this works at scale. I’m genuinely excited about what we can build together.” Sanjay Ejantkar, SVP, Partner Experience & Success, Fortis
The Bottom Line
ERP platforms have become the operational center of most businesses. Payments can’t keep sitting next to that center. They need to live inside it. Fortis and Pine Services Group are helping ERP consultants, VARs, and the businesses they serve build that connection from day one, instead of patching it in after the fact.
