Net at Work, a North American technology consulting and business software services provider, has acquired K&R Consulting Group, a specialist in enterprise resource planning software and business advisory services. The transaction expands Net at Work’s ERP consulting expertise and strengthens its presence across manufacturing, distribution, construction, and e-commerce markets.
K&R Consulting Group was founded more than 30 years ago by Brad and Dee Kain.
The company provides business software consulting and implementation services involving Sage and Acumatica ERP platforms.
Its customers operate across the United States and Canada and rely on ERP systems to manage financial processes, inventory, operations, and other business activities.
The acquisition will integrate K&R’s professionals and customer relationships into Net at Work’s broader technology services organization.
Founded in 1996, Net at Work provides technology consulting and advisory services to small and midsized businesses throughout North America.
Its offerings include enterprise resource planning, human capital management, customer relationship management, managed services, and other technology solutions.
The company has increasingly emphasized the role of AI-enabled software in helping businesses improve operations and productivity.
Through the acquisition, K&R clients will gain access to Net at Work’s broader portfolio of business applications and specialized consulting services.
These capabilities include expanded ERP expertise, managed technology services, and AI tools intended to support business process improvements.
The combination is designed to help customers modernize existing systems while retaining relationships with the consultants familiar with their operations.
K&R employees will join Net at Work and continue serving their existing clients.
Brad and Dee Kain will support the transition, working with both organizations to maintain service continuity and coordinate integration activities.
The transaction reflects continued demand among small and midsized businesses for software systems capable of connecting financial information, operational workflows, customer relationships, and other business functions.
ERP systems are particularly important for organizations managing complex processes involving manufacturing, supply chains, purchasing, inventory, and accounting.
Businesses often rely on specialized implementation partners to configure these platforms around industry-specific requirements.
K&R’s expertise in Sage and Acumatica provides Net at Work with additional consulting resources in these areas.
The acquisition also adds established customer relationships in industries where operational complexity creates demand for integrated business software.
Net at Work intends to build on those relationships while introducing additional services that may help clients address changing technology requirements.
The company’s strategy includes combining industry expertise with software platforms and AI-enabled capabilities.
As businesses increasingly adopt automation and AI, consulting providers are expanding their services beyond traditional software implementation to include broader digital transformation initiatives.
Net at Work expects K&R’s employees and customers to benefit from its larger organization while preserving the personalized service that supported the acquired firm’s development.
The transaction expands Net at Work’s consulting capacity and reinforces its position as a technology partner for small and midsized businesses.
By integrating K&R Consulting Group, the company aims to strengthen its ERP services and create additional opportunities to support customers across manufacturing, distribution, construction, and e-commerce.
