Rootstock earns top ranking for its AI-powered, decision-ready ERP—purpose-built for product companies on the Salesforce Platform

San Ramon, CA (June 24, 2025) - Rootstock Software today announced it was recognized as a Leader in the Nucleus Research's SMB ERP Technology Value Matrix 2025 (https://clouderp.rootstock.com/erp-software-value-matrix)—the fourth consecutive year the company has earned this top ranking. This honor reflects Rootstock's continued strength in delivering a product-centric ERP that combines advanced AI, real-time insights, and deep alignment with the manufacturing industry. Built on the Salesforce Platform, Rootstock empowers mid-sized manufacturers to streamline operations, adapt to market volatility, and scale with confidence— all while continuing to evolve its roadmap based on customer input.

"Earning this recognition for a fourth year reflects our consistency in staying ahead of what manufacturers truly need," said Rick Berger, CEO of Rootstock Software (https://www.rootstock.com/about-erp-software-company/management-team/). "Our ERP is engineered to deliver agility, visibility, and intelligence for product companies. Whether it's navigating global tariffs or optimizing production with embedded AI, we're helping manufacturers convert real-time supply and demand signals into smarter decisions and faster actions."

"SMBs are no longer looking for static ERP systems; they need platforms that think, act, and scale with them," added Charles A. Brennan, Analyst at Nucleus Research (https://nucleusresearch.com/). "Rootstock stands out by delivering on this vision. With embedded AI agents, predictive analytics, and deep vertical alignment, Rootstock enables real-time decisions. Its Salesforce-native foundation enhances usability and integration, while innovations like Tariff Management Central and AIRS showcase the evolution of ERP from record-keeping to intelligent operations. That's why Rootstock continues to earn its place as a Leader in the Value Matrix."
