Rootstock, Fast Slow Motion team up on ERP referrals

Rootstock Software has formed a referral partnership with Fast Slow Motion to steer product companies toward its cloud ERP platform. The deal is aimed at manufacturers, distributors and other businesses that need to connect sales, operations and fulfillment systems.

Why it matters: - Product companies often run CRM, ERP and other systems in separate silos, which creates manual handoffs, duplicate work and gaps in visibility. - The partnership is designed to help manufacturers, distributors and sellers of physical goods modernize ERP and connect customer-facing and operational processes. - Rootstock wants to reach companies earlier in their software decisions through trusted advisors already shaping technology strategy.

What happened: - Rootstock Software announced a referral partnership with Fast Slow Motion on Sept. 23, 2026. - Fast Slow Motion will refer prospective customers with ERP needs to Rootstock. - The partnership targets growing product companies that need help moving orders from sales through production and fulfillment.

Between the lines: - The deal reflects a broader shift in ERP buying, where software selection is increasingly tied to ecosystem fit rather than features alone. - Referral partnerships can give ERP vendors access to companies after a trusted adviser has already identified operational pain points. - The arrangement also suggests growing demand for systems that support AI extensibility and faster process integration.
