Overview
Velosio is a Columbus, Ohio-headquartered Microsoft Dynamics partner with more than 40 years in the business applications market. The firm serves over 4,000 active clients from offices across the United States and Canada. Employee headcount is in the 300 to 500 range and annual revenue is in the US$80 million to US$120 million range as a private business — though some sources cite higher figures reflecting recent acquisitions. Velosio was ranked number 6 on Accounting Today's 2025 VAR 100 list. Chad Woods joined as Chief Revenue Officer in 2025, signalling continued growth investment.
The Velosio practice is one of the largest Microsoft Business Central partners in North America, with deep IP for distribution, professional services automation (PSA), manufacturing, and not-for-profit. The firm also delivers Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, and Azure work, plus modules and intellectual property in licensing optimisation and ISV solutions. Velosio holds Microsoft Inner Circle status and consistently ranks in the top tier of North American Dynamics partners.
Buyers typically engage Velosio for upper SMB and mid-market Business Central rollouts, particularly in distribution and services industries where the firm's templates and ISV partnerships accelerate delivery. The firm fits organisations with US$25 million to US$500 million in revenue. Multi-country enterprise rollouts and very large F&O programmes are typically better served by HSO, Hitachi Solutions, or Avanade.

- Deep distribution and PSA (professional services automation) industry IP
- Mid-market commercial profile — competes effectively in $150K to $700K range
- Strong ISV partnerships and add-on portfolio for Business Central
- Microsoft Inner Circle membership with consistent recognition in VAR rankings
- Long-standing customer base of 40+ years provides established reference network
Limitations
- International footprint limited to United States and Canada — no European or APAC delivery
- Heavier weighting toward Business Central means F&O deals receive less dedicated senior bench
- Brand recognition lower than HSO, Hitachi Solutions, or Avanade in tier-1 procurement
- Heritage NAV/GP customer base creates ongoing legacy upgrade noise distinct from new-cloud work
- Limited capability outside Microsoft stack — multi-vendor ERP evaluations not objective
