Who We Are

PSSI Vertical LogoPMI, the predecessor to PSSI, was founded by Brian Sittley in South Bend, Indiana, in 1987, to provide totally customized software solutions built to satisfy clients' specific needs.  Over time the company narrowed its focus to specialize in accounting, manufacturing, warehousing and related applications geared to making our clients far more productive.

The most common name given for these kinds of applications came to be known as MRP and, later, ERP as material requirements planning concepts were expanded to consider the enterprise as a whole, from front office to shop floor.  Today, our core ERP software applications are complemented by our well trained, experienced, highly credentialed, customer-centric staff.

Unlike the majority of other “Value Added Resellers” (or VARs), PSSI represents several of the industry’s leading business management systems.  Our offerings include Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly "Navision")… Sage Pro ERP… Sage MAS 90 / MAS 200 ERP (and their associated Sage CRM solutions)… and TIW Technology’s ALERE Accounting and Manufacturing.   In addition we represent a host of complementary products for report-writing, business intelligence, warehouse management, ecommerce and most other components of a complete ERP solution.

But even today, the personal touch -– in-depth process consulting, software modifications and customization, personalized training and ongoing user support –- remains the primary tool in our solution development kit.

We continue to believe that the best approach to solving client problems and improving operations remains the consultative approach. We ask questions. We analyze and flowchart processes.  We brainstorm options.  We do our homework. We consider budget.  We offer options.  From there, we work with you to develop an appropriate solution from any of the many best-of-breed software lines we sell.

At PSSI, we take our greatest pride in the longevity of our client relationships. From the top down, our dedication is to your satisfaction. We believe that by doing well by you, we create a satisfied customer who becomes our best referral source for our next prospect.  That thinking has helped us grow our client base to well over 400 firms across the USA.

We have provided services to companies in a wide range of industries, particularly in the manufacturing and distribution sectors. Our diverse range of clients enables us to apply the lessons of one installation to another, to the benefit of our clients. Our sales have grown consistently and profitably, and since we are locally owned and operated, it is our intention to remain a strong partner to our clients both now and in the years to come.

We urge you to contact us in any form you like to initiate a discussion about how PSSI’s talented team can help you build the better company.  Remember, it costs nothing to talk – but a quiet conversation can lead to a solution of immense value.
