The accounting module provides completely auditable general ledger, payables, receivables, inventory and balance sheet capabilities. The CRM module allows users to manage relationships with vendors and partners, as well as monitor leads, sales, quotes and overall business performance. The ERP module integrates sales, operations and accounting tools. aACE also offers integrations with payment processing, email marketing, shipping, e-commerce, and other tools. aACE offers on-premise, cloud-based, and browser-based business management software for small and midsize manufacturing, distribution, and professional services businesses. aACE is available with monthly subscription pricing. iOS mobile apps are also available. FLEXIBILITY aACE accommodates most client needs right out of the box. And because it is built on the Claris FileMaker platform, aACE can be customized easily, efficiently, and cost effectively. Each business has unique in-house expertise acquired during their years in business, and aACE makes it simple to translate those insights into custom apps that streamline processes, boost productivity, and maximize a company’s competitive advantage. VERSATILITY Our track record of enthusiastic customers spans a wide range of industries, including professional services, wholesale distribution, and light manufacturing. These organizations have as few as five and as many as 500 personnel. But they all share the same need for an integrated, cost-effective, cross-platform suite of business management software that is robust enough to support their entire operation — and that’s where aACE comes in. TESTIMONIALS aACE clients have called our solution “the best in everything,” “a major improvement over QuickBooks,” and “a critical component to the success of our company’s future.” We’re constantly hearing from our clients that their day-to-day operations have improved since implementing aACE. For example: - Derek Navratil from Essential Water Solutions Inc.: “\[The aACE team\] initially struck me as unique, refreshingly knowledgeable, and very in-tune with the modern demands of an ERP software package – solving problems with their software that no one else seemed to give a second thought.” - Daniel Chapman from Redd Remedies: “aACE software is easy to use, intuitive, logical, and easily customized. It is clear that the architecture of aACE has been very well thought out. We were able to automate some previously manual processes that is resulting in literally hundreds of saved labor hours each month." PAIN-POINTS SOLVED aACE offers a compelling alternative for business owners who question the ROI from other software: • Browser-based packages like NetSuite • Open-source packages like xTuple • Client/server packages like QuickBooks, Dynamics, and Sage aACE provides greater visibility, accuracy, and velocity in your operations, solving the inefficiencies and lost opportunities that arise from a software package not carefully fitted to your business’ unique needs.
