What Priority ERP is
Priority ERP is a cloud enterprise resource planning platform from the Israeli vendor Priority Software, positioned as the flexible, highly configurable alternative to the established US mid-market suites. The pitch centers on rapid implementation, low-code adaptability, and embedded AI capabilities marketed as aiERP. Long dominant in its home market, the company is now spending real effort on North America.
Company and product background
The lineage starts in the 1980s, when the product was developed under the Eshbel Technologies name. Israeli private equity firm Fortissimo Capital acquired the business in 2013, and TA Associates later joined as an investor. May 2024 brought the decisive change: Blackstone acquired a 70 percent majority stake at a valuation of about 800 million US dollars, leaving Fortissimo and TA Associates with roughly 30 percent between them. Since then the company has been buying, among others the hospitality management vendor SilverByte and the AI finance startup Obol. The vendor reports around 75,000 customers in more than 70 countries, with the US ranking second behind Israel.
Functional scope
Financials, sales and CRM, procurement, inventory and warehouse management (WMS), manufacturing with MRP, project management, retail point of sale, and service management. What sets the suite apart is the tooling wrapped around it: business rules, form and report generators, a mobile app generator that produces companion apps without coding, and open REST APIs. The aiERP capabilities sit in the core platform rather than in a separate product, covering data queries, document processing, and finance automation.
Who buys it, and how it is sold
Mid-market manufacturers, distributors, retailers, professional services firms, and, through the SilverByte acquisition, hospitality operators. The common thread is a buyer who wants substantial process tailoring without the cost profile of tier-1 suites and who can live with an ecosystem that is still developing in North America. Deployment is offered as cloud-native SaaS or on-premises, an increasingly rare combination in this segment. Pricing is not published on the vendor website. Quotes come through Priority and its partners, so request formal proposals and model the long-term number yourself, for example with an ERP TCO calculator.
Our take
Priority is the dark-horse pick for a US mid-market buyer who has already priced the usual suspects, found their configuration limits frustrating, and is willing to trade ecosystem depth for flexibility. That trade is the entire decision. The American partner and support network remains considerably thinner than what domestic incumbents field, and the strategic alliance announced in December 2025 with accounting and advisory firm Citrin Cooperman, now Priority's premier US implementation provider with first joint engagements from early 2026, is a fix in progress rather than a fix delivered. Companies that need a deep local partner bench, vertical references in their own state, and a low-risk staffing plan for the next five years should not shortlist it yet. Blackstone's 2024 majority stake brings capital for expansion and the standard private equity questions about pricing and roadmap direction. Verify implementation and support coverage for your own region and industry inside a structured ERP selection.
