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.&#10;&#10;VERSATILITY&#10;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.&#10;&#10;TESTIMONIALS&#10;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:&#10;&#10;- Derek Navratil from Essential Water Solutions Inc.: &#10;“\[The aACE team\] 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.”&#10;&#10;- 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."&#10;&#10;PAIN-POINTS SOLVED&#10;aACE offers a compelling alternative for business owners who question the ROI from other software:&#10;• Browser-based packages like NetSuite&#10;• Open-source packages like xTuple&#10;• Client/server packages like QuickBooks, Dynamics, and Sage&#10;&#10;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.

## Reviews

### "Adaptable full business management software" — 5.0/5

> **Lance** | *12 April 2019* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: aAce, has been a great management tool for us.  We required a flexible solution to match a quirky business but also a structure that would help us to follow GAAP and other Best Practice specifics.  As with any large system implementation this has taken some time, money and adaptations.  We are very happy now with where we are though.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of an instruction manual and limits in "help" database has been a challenge for users.
> 
> aACe helped us to bring all of our company functions together into one system.  This has helped us with automating reporting and avoiding the need for extra cross checking among systems.

### "Give it a try, you will not regret it\!" — 5.0/5

> **Tushar** | *11 November 2025* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and outstanding customer support. Easy to train new employees on the modules and a very comprehensive CRM system
> 
> **Cons**: It would be nice if it could interface to your credit card processor but I understand that it is difficult to interface to multiple processors
> 
> The entire transition to Aace went very smoothly, the on boarding support was outstanding. We have been with them now 7 years and they really take the time to understand your business and work with you to make sure aACE works for you

### "Controller" — 4.0/5

> **Neil** | *17 February 2017* | Motion Pictures & Film | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use and the cost effectiveness of the product.  The ability to drill down and get information.  Also how well it works with excel and other accounting tools
> 
> **Cons**: I would love to see the financial reports look more ones produced by the accounting world.  The general ledger should show a running balance instead of having to print a dated trial balance to look at a specific period.
> 
> The aAce team is very knowledgable about their product.  They learn as much about your business and your workflow and help you come up with solutions to make you and your team more efficient.  Then then adapt their robust product to achieve those goals.  &#10;&#10;They are also their to tweak the product as your business adapts.  &#10;&#10;Responses to calls and emails are handled on a timely basis and they work with you based upon the severity of your needs

### "Superior Software Partner" — 5.0/5

> **Dot** | *2 October 2024* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: All of the menus are structured the same so training new functions is easier. The linkage of everything makes operations and research efficient. The aACE team's ability to quickly customize items to meet our needs. Implementation was successful due to the efforts of the aACE team and the ease of using the program. Imagine - a successful ERP implementation\! The aACE team partners with us to produce the best result. The aACE team took the time to understand our business and made valuable suggestions on improvement.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind. aACE took care of any issues quickly and effectively - issues usually caused by us; not the software.
> 
> Using ERP software is similar to a marriage. It effects every aspect of the business. aACE is an excellent partner\!  Giving us the ability to test the software with their support for an extended period of time before the purchase sealed the deal. The opportunity to work with the developers during customization was priceless. They worked hand-in-hand on-site with us through every step of the implementation process. And the excellent support has continued after the implementation. This is a success story\!
