2024 Plex Partner of the Year: Cumulus Consulting, LLC

Cloud ERP Technology
December 23, 2025

 

 

A Premier Plex Partner, Cumulus Consulting has helped companies successfully implement Plex ERP for over 10 years. Their dedication to digital transformation and willingness to take on unique Plex projects is why Cumulus Consulting has been selected as this year’s Plex Partner of the Year.

Cumulus Consulting, LLC

The Cumulus Consulting tagline is simple, but powerful: Cumulus exists to inspire progress. As a full-service ERP and technology consulting firm, progress is something they certainly achieve with their customer base. They pride themselves on offering clients a 360-degree perspective on their transformation ahead and reviewing all possible options. Their client base is diverse; company sizes range from Fortune 500 corporations to smaller start-ups, and they consult across all industries. Knowing the deployment of any IoT system can become complex, Comulus Consulting offers their customers the ability to turn confusion into simplified decisions and ensure their new solution will serve them best. While Cumulus has expertise with many manufacturing solutions, and they evaluate the best fit for each customer individually, they have completed hundreds of Plex implementations globally.

Above and Beyond for Plex Customers

Cumulus Consulting delivers outstanding implementation services for its Plex customers, guiding them in their migration and fostering a successful go-live experience. As a Plex partner, Cumulus has introduced Plex as an end-to-end manufacturing solution, coordinated unique customer projects, and helped transition current Plex customers to updated Plex UX screens. Here's what the fast-moving company achieved in 2024:

  • Facilitated 17 Plex ERP and MES go-lives
  • Built a Plex-dedicated iPaaS solution (Helios)
  • Collaborated on 5+ co-marketing activities

Beyond these metrics, Cumulus generally takes great pride in their implementation services. They are on board to help their clients make the full transition to Plex ERP and dedicate just as much energy to customers making smaller changes, such as implementing only Plex MES or Plex QMS. Their relationship with customers does not come to an end once an implementation is successfully completed—Cumulus is sure to support longstanding clients from a phone call to check-in or kicking off another implemention of an additional Plex product.

Rather than offer support from afar, Cumulus believes onsite assistance is the best way to execute a Plex implementation. Having a feel for the facility, understanding Plex touchpoints, and knowing the client’s team are essential for any project—this personalization is part of what sets the consulting company apart. Cumulus team members are constantly researching trends, signing up to pilot new Plex products ahead of public release, and are active, valued members of the Plex Community.

2024 Plex Partner of the Year

With 17 successful Plex go-lives in 2024, and even more in the pipeline as 2025 nears, it’s clear that Cumulus Consulting has worked hard to establish their ERP consulting services as best-in- class. Their Partner of the Year award reflects this hard work, along with their engagement in the Plex Community. The entire Plex team is eager to see what the future holds as Cumulus continues to strategize and deliver healthy Plex implementations.

Congratulations to Cumulus Consulting for being named the Plex Partner of the Year!
