Aktion Associates named FY26 North America Partner of the Year

Aktion Associates has been named FY26 North America Partner of the Year in the inaugural Phocas Partner Awards, following 90% year-over-year growth. A leading North American ERP and business technology partner to mid-market companies in architecture, engineering, construction, distribution and manufacturing, Aktion has worked with Phocas for six years to help customers see business performance more clearly and make more informed decisions.

Across Aktion's ERP practices, customers routinely look for more efficient ways to view their data, from high-level business performance down to the finite details. The Phocas Business Intelligence and Financial Planning and Analysis platform with a wide variety of functionality spanning data analytics, reporting, financial statements, and budgeting provides Aktion's customers with greater visibility into business performance.

A partnership built on trust and momentum

Six years in, Aktion is one of Phocas' strongest advocates. Each division within Aktion is responsive and constantly looking for ways to enhance the customer experience through Phocas, whether that's a new report, a deeper drill-down or a fresh way to visualize the numbers. It's the kind of momentum that comes from two teams who work well together, sharing a similar culture and always finding ways to inject some fun into shared objectives.

The strength of the relationship comes through in how Aktion's team talks about the partnership.

Paul Bachran, President of Aktion Associates, says, “Aktion knows our customers’ industries, businesses and ERP environments. Phocas brings powerful analytics and planning capabilities, but what makes the partnership work is how closely their team works with ours to solve customer needs. That combination helps customers turn their data into information they can use to run and plan their business. We’re proud of what our teams have accomplished together and grateful for this recognition.”

What this means for customers

For companies working with Aktion, the award recognizes the value of combining ERP expertise with the Phocas platform. Together, they help customers bring data from across the business into one clear view. Medart Marine is benefiting from that combination, gaining the kind of visibility that lets them plan, report and forecast from the same set of numbers.

Congratulations to the whole Aktion Associates team on being named FY26 North America Partner of the Year, and thank you for six years of helping distributors turn insights into confident action at every level of the business.
