Free White Paper: Choosing the Right ERP for Your SMB

How do you find the best fit for your business?

We’ve created an easy-to-follow guide to help instruct business owners on the vital decision to invest in an ERP solution. With over 15 years in the industry, aACE Software has collected valuable insights that can make the difference between selecting the right solution for your business or throwing away time and money on the wrong choice. If you're the kind of business owner that likes to get things done right, this white paper is for you.

Our guide walks you through the purchasing process. What may be surprising to some is that this process doesn't begin with contacting vendors, comparing functionality sets, or looking at price tags. If a company starts at one of these points, there is a very real danger that they will end up with something that sets the company back instead of accelerating its growth. Instead, the critical first step is to clarify what exactly your business needs the ERP solution to do. The white paper details an excellent method for gaining this clarity — ERP narratives.

"You are not working for your ERP software; your ERP software needs to work for you." ~ Your First ERP System; an aACE Software whitepaper

Using your ERP narratives, you are ready to begin investigating which of the many solutions may be best for your company's unique situation and processes. The whitepaper walks you through gathering an initial list of candidates, focusing on a short-list, and understanding why different ERP packages vary so widely in price.

The right ERP solution can save your company hours in duplicate data entry, help prevent costly mistakes due to human error, and enable you to scale your business exponentially. But the wrong one can cost your business a small fortune, only to create headaches and bottlenecks as you contort your workflows to fit the software. And to make matters more complex, the same solution might be a dream for one company but a nightmare for another.

This spring we were pleased to announce that aACE had been recognized as a significant ERP Contender in SoftwareAdvice.com’s 2017 FrontRunners Report, a round-up of top-performing business management solutions. Powered by Gartner’s data-driven methodology, this quadrant relies on user reviews and other data to highlight products that offer the best capability and value for their class. Last month the folks at SoftwareAdvice.com took another look at their ERP quadrant – and this time around, aACE earned even higher scores on both axes.

aACE Software Featured in Idaho Business Review

Michael shared that because our Boise office is the center of our general operations — including ongoing aACE development, technical support, documentation, and administrative functions — we're looking for the kind of seasoned professionals that tend to be attracted to an area like Boise, which boasts both a low cost and high quality of living.

“We’re not looking to hire kids right out of school,” Michael told Zach Kyle of the IBR. “Because of the complexity of our product, we want to hire professionals who are seasoned, stable and with kids, that sort of thing. People like that are extraordinarily expensive in places like New York.”

The IBR article focused largely on the Accounting portion of our software; a shortage of accounting talent has many businesses turning to technology to fill the gap. As a complete quote-to-cash solution, aACE is poised to take advantage of this trend. “[I would recommend aACE to] any company that needs a seemingly impossible-to-achieve customized accounting system that will take them from inputting a transaction to the general ledger,” says Wendy Donenfield, CPA and Controller at aACE client M&R International.

Celebrating 15 Years of Art in ERP

Our vision for software is that it should be more than merely a means to an end — it should be a finely crafted instrument helping you enrich your business. Over the past 15 years we’ve worked with dozens of clients in a variety of industries to create, refine, and perfect our software; our product isn't based on theories concocted in a boardroom, but on the real day-to-day experiences of SMEs across the country. We are the composers, but our clients are the orchestra who bring our music to life every day.

As we celebrate our 15th anniversary, we’d like to say thanks to some of the companies who helped aACE 5 fulfill our dream of Art in ERP.

For a Company Switching From Windows to Mac, aACE Offers the Best of Both Worlds

Janibell, formerly known as Sinclair Worldwide, knew that changing from PCs to Macs meant they’d need to trade in their business management software too. But they didn’t just want to replace it with the same old ERP on a new platform — instead they wanted a sleeker, faster, more automated solution that could work for them, both during and long after the transition. They found that and more in aACE. Says Janibell President Bumkee Kim:

"aACE is a great all-around package that also offers flexibility and excellent design. The aACE user interface features a clean layout and shows that much thought and care went into the development of the software. We feel confident that aACE will serve Janibell for a long time."

After 30 Years in Business, Vacutherm, Inc. Finds Room to Grow with Help from aACE

A messy patchwork of solutions had slowed Vacutherm down for three decades — but President and Owner Jim Parker didn't realize how much until he switched to aACE. The difference was like night and day. After 33 years of stretching the limits of its software, Vacutherm finally had room to grow… and grow it did, expanding its revenue by 800% in a single year. Here’s what Jim has to say:

"The implementation was flawless and respectful of our need to continue operating. It couldn’t have gone better. Even though we had many systems to integrate, the importation of our data was easy and the entire process was smooth and professional. I’ve never experienced as easy an implementation of anything like I experienced with the aACE team. I have recommended aACE to many of the manufacturers I work with in this industry and others. I think it could work for almost any type of business."

Artistry is at the core of everything KNOCK, Inc. does. This branding and design firm needed a solution that was elegant and pleasing to use, but powerful enough to keep up with their explosive growth. Fortunately, that same artistry is at the core of everything we do, too. aACE offered the integrations they needed to streamline their business along with the graceful interfaces required to meet the high visual standards of their creative staff. Here's what KNOCK’S President, Lili Hall, and Director of Creative Services, Erin McCloskey, have to say about aACE:

"aACE has helped us streamline many of our processes. We have a snapshot of each project with many of the important details being on one screen. We instantly see our profitability within our projects and have specific numbers or data regarding many aspects of our business. We would highly recommend working with aACE to anyone."

Restylers’ Choice Sees Substantial ROI in Six Months with aACE

Doug Jacobs of Restylers’ Choice had invested seven years in building a custom in-house solution to manage his automotive graphics and accessories business, but he still found himself struggling to manage the many moving parts of his company. aACE offered a unique solution: the ability to integrate his existing infrastructure with a world-class ERP software. The result was efficiency beyond Doug’s wildest dreams. In just six months, aACE automation had helped Restylers’ Choice achieve a 90% decrease in declined credit cards, eliminate a full day’s worth of accounting work per month, and free up 2,000 square feet of warehouse space. Here’s what Doug has to say:

"Looking back at our transition to aACE, I realize how smooth the process went. Having been on our past system for more than 10 years, you know there are going to be problems and pains in transition. I had trusted advisors warn me that it would require years to "get comfortable" with the new system. The reality is that we were up, running, and processing orders very easily the first day of business on aACE."

Announcing aACE Software’s Expansion to Boise

A look at the recent publicity for the Boise area makes the value of this expansion clear. This long list of accolades compiled by the Boise Valley Economic Partnership demonstrates the many treasures found in the Treasure Valley. Publications across the country are recognizing Boise as:

  • #3 Best Run City in America
  • Top 10 Cheapest States To Live In 2017
  • "Best Rocky Mountain Secret" and Top 25 Best Towns Ever
  • 8 American Cities You Should Visit Before They're Too Popular
  • Top 20 Best Cities for Young Professionals
  • North America's Coolest Downtowns
  • #4 Best Places to Retire in 2017
  • 11 Satellite Cities Poised to Thrive in 2017
  • Top 10 Cities for Young Families 2017
  • 16 Under-Appreciated American Cities You Should Totally Move To
  • 2017's 2nd Best Capitol to Live In
  • Top 10 Safest Driving Cities During Wet Weather
  • #12 in Best Places to Live
  • #3 Popular U.S. Growth Cities
  • Top 10 Hottest Travel Destinations of 2017

In more detail, Vogue magazine ranked Idaho as one of the world's Top 10 travel destinations, and in February the U.S. News and World Report's Real Estate section identified Boise as #12 in their ranking of the best places to live, with a drill-down of area attractions. Forbes magazine got more specific, focusing on excellent places to retire, and picked Boise out as number five in the top quarter, then also highlighting Boise as one of the top 20 cities for young professionals. And since business focuses on the bottom line, CNBC gave Idaho kudos for attracting workers with an affordable place to live.

Picking up from where the media leaves off, a quick analysis of the Treasure Valley's business benefits makes an even more persuasive case for growing a business in Idaho. We touched on the cost of living, but as a concrete example of this, in 2015 aACE Software Founder and President Michael Bethuy relocated to the Treasure Valley. The move had an immediate ROI: expenses were reduced enough to hire an additional full-time developer, who also relocated from the New York area to Boise. Likewise, the lower costs make opening and maintaining a Boise office much easier for a self-financed company like aACE Software.

Because we strive for excellence in everything we do, another aspect of the Boise area culture is especially valuable. The stability of a family-oriented region like the Treasure Valley helps drastically reduce employee turnover, allowing our employees to learn and grow within the company so that we’re able to consistently offer our clients the benefits of our knowledgeable, experienced staff. And as the company continues to grow, having a ready pool of experienced, reliable, tech-savvy workers — drawn to the area by large corporations like Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Micron — facilitates the recruiting of seasoned professionals.

New York City was the starting point of the aACE 5 vision for Art in ERP, and the office there will continue to play a crucial role. The primary emphasis for this group of developers and our skilled marketing team will be sales and R&D. This syncs well with the unique culture of Manhattan, with its talented designers and coders who focus on cutting-edge products. These continuing innovations in the aACE Software business suite will expand our selection of mobile apps and third-party integrations.

At aACE, we're excited to bring our vision of artisan software to the growing Boise technology scene. Along with organizations like the Boise Chamber of Commerce and the Idaho Technology Council and Software Alliance dedicated to promoting success in the region, we're primed to help lead the way. This synergy between our Manhattan and Boise offices will help us continue to achieve our vision of Art in ERP.

In more detail, Vogue magazine ranked Idaho as one of the world's Top 10 travel destinations, and in February the U.S. News and World Report's Real Estate section identified Boise as #12 in their ranking of the best places to live, with a drill-down of area attractions. Forbes magazine got more specific, focusing on excellent places to retire, and picked Boise out as number five in the top quarter, then also highlighting Boise as one of the top 20 cities for young professionals. And since business focuses on the bottom line, CNBC gave Idaho kudos for attracting workers with an affordable place to live.

Picking up from where the media leaves off, a quick analysis of the Treasure Valley's business benefits makes an even more persuasive case for growing a business in Idaho. We touched on the cost of living, but as a concrete example of this, in 2015 aACE Software Founder and President Michael Bethuy relocated to the Treasure Valley. The move had an immediate ROI: expenses were reduced enough to hire an additional full-time developer, who also relocated from the New York area to Boise. Likewise, the lower costs make opening and maintaining a Boise office much easier for a self-financed company like aACE Software.

Because we strive for excellence in everything we do, another aspect of the Boise area culture is especially valuable. The stability of a family-oriented region like the Treasure Valley helps drastically reduce employee turnover, allowing our employees to learn and grow within the company so that we’re able to consistently offer our clients the benefits of our knowledgeable, experienced staff. And as the company continues to grow, having a ready pool of experienced, reliable, tech-savvy workers — drawn to the area by large corporations like Hewlett-Packard (HP) and Micron — facilitates the recruiting of seasoned professionals.

New York City was the starting point of the aACE 5 vision for Art in ERP, and the office there will continue to play a crucial role. The primary emphasis for this group of developers and our skilled marketing team will be sales and R&D. This syncs well with the unique culture of Manhattan, with its talented designers and coders who focus on cutting-edge products. These continuing innovations in the aACE Software business suite will expand our selection of mobile apps and third-party integrations.

At aACE, we're excited to bring our vision of artisan software to the growing Boise technology scene. Along with organizations like the Boise Chamber of Commerce and the Idaho Technology Council and Software Alliance dedicated to promoting success in the region, we're primed to help lead the way. This synergy between our Manhattan and Boise offices will help us continue to achieve our vision of Art in ERP.

Yahoo Finance Highlights Redd Remedies Switch from NetSuite to aACE

As described by Dan Chapman, the Founder and CEO of Redd Remedies, the interest in the transition stemmed from conversations with other nutrition company leaders. They had discussed frustrations with current software. Mr. Chapman's friend recommended aACE as a solution for all accounting, CRM, ERP needs.

Of course the team at Redd Remedies conducted due diligence. Before moving forward, they learned more about aACE's features and benefits from the company website, as well as by requesting a free, live demonstration of the solution.

When they saw what aACE could do for their company, the Redd Remedies team's next concern was how quickly they could implement it. This urgency was not only to gain the aACE advantage for their business, but also to avoid another hefty annual subscription fee from their previous software package. They needed the transition to happen within two months, and the aACE team made it happen.

Several of the Redd Remedies team have shared their enthusiasm for the new aACE system:

"aACE allows endless drill-down capabilities, exposing the entire chain of a single transaction. The biggest asset to our company has been the automated workflows, especially in our customer care and shipping departments. Also, the shipping integration has helped reduce picking errors and assist in a speedy pick-and-pack process." ~ Tiffany Barmann
"I love the search features in aACE. They’re pretty great!" ~ Jennifer Snow
"With aACE 5 I can pull up the appropriate rate card and change the pricing on all the products in one window. That’s a HUGE time saver! Overlapping promotions are simpler to manage. I also like that I can affect the same change on multiple accounts with one or two simple steps. The more I use this program, the more I love it!" ~ Joni Jarnagin

One of the aspects of aACE that was most valuable to Redd Remedies was the easy customization. Built on the FileMaker platform, aACE can be tailored to a company's specific workflows, allowing them to develop processes based on their own needs and expertise instead of how their software company thinks they should work. For Redd Remedies, aACE was able to accommodate most of their needs right out of the box. The remaining details consisted of unique expertise that the company had gathered and developed during their years in business experience. aACE's easy customization allowed them to codify those hard-won insights into a comprehensive tool that leverages their in-house expertise.
