Pine Services Group Plants a Sage VAR in Its Grove

Pine Services Group (PSG) has acquired Acumen Information Systems, a Florida-based Sage 300 and Sage Intacct partner founded in 2008. Acumen is known for its work in hospitality and heavy equipment fleet management, two industries that rely heavily on ERP systems tailored for operational efficiency. The acquisition expands Pine’s presence within the Sage ecosystem while adding sectors where Acumen already has strong presence. Pine confirmed that Paul Crompton, Scott Halliday, and Nick Nabozny will continue leading the business under its existing brand.

For context, Pine Services Group is a holding company dedicated to the growth and legacy of ERP service partners and global business application companies. Pine operates as part of Evergreen, referred to internally as a “Grove” – a network of companies that retain their brand identity and leadership while gaining access to shared resources and strategic guidance. Evergreen itself has completed more than 100 MSP acquisitions, establishing a reputation for long-term investment in technology services firms. Within that framework, Pine focuses specifically on mid-market ERP and VAR acquisitions, and its website currently lists 13 portfolio companies across North America and the UK.

Pine’s mission is to empower its portfolio companies to achieve their full potential through strategic support, operational autonomy, and a relentless focus on sustainable growth. Its vision is to be the premier strategic partner for ERP and business application companies globally, driving innovation and excellence.

Pine’s model found an ideal match in Acumen, a company that has demonstrated consistent growth. Acumen’s expansion over recent years has been strategic, achieved through targeted acquisitions. A notable example is the acquisition of Dynavistics, a business formerly associated with Enterprise Software Podcast alumnus Todd McDaniel. These acquisitions have systematically strengthened Acumen’s customer base, talent pool, and geographic presence.
