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."

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."

aACE Software announces its expansion to Boise, Idaho

Boise office becomes HQ for general operations, while Manhattan office specializes in R&D

BOISE, Idaho - Sept. 12, 2017 - PRLog -- aACE Software is proud to announce its new headquarters in Boise, Idaho, marking an expansion for the company after 15 years in Manhattan. Boise will be the new location for the company's general operations, including core product development, technical support, documentation, and administration. The Boise Valley Economic Partnership has compiled a list of recent accolades for the region that make the value of this expansion clear. Publications such as Forbes, Vogue, and CNBC have recognized Boise as an outstanding place to live and work.

Says aACE Software Founder and President Michael Bethuy, "I moved back home to Boise in 2015, and thanks to the reduced expenses I was able to hire an additional full-time developer. We're a self-financed company, so the lower costs make a big difference. The stability of a family-oriented region like the Treasure Valley also helps us reduce employee turnover. It's important to us that our staff is able to learn and grow within the company so that we can offer our clients the benefits of knowledgeable, experienced representatives. And the presence of large organizations like Hewlett-Packard and Micron will ensure that we have a ready pool of seasoned, tech-savvy workers to recruit from as we grow."

New York City was the starting point of the aACE 5 vision for Art in ERP, and the Manhattan office will continue to play a crucial role with a primary emphasis on sales and R&D. This syncs well with the unique creative culture of Manhattan. Ongoing innovations in the aACE Software business suite will expand our selection of mobile apps and third-party integrations.

aACE Software is excited to bring its vision of artisan software to the growing Boise technology scene. Joining with the Boise Chamber of Commerce and the Idaho Technology Council and Software Alliance we are dedicated to promoting success in the region. The synergy between our Manhattan and Boise offices will help us continue to achieve our vision of Art in ERP.

About aACE Software

In 2002, the aACE Software founding team came together while developing a business software package that was robust yet appealing for one of midtown Manhattan's premier creative agencies. As they expanded to create new tools for additional clients, the team organized as Avant Garde Information Solutions, LLC (dba aACE Software). They gradually crafted a compelling product, envisioned as a comprehensive, yet affordable ERP solution for small businesses. After 15 years of close collaboration with clients from many industries, that initial product has evolved into a software suite designed around the end-user. The newly released aACE 5 suite is artisan software, which our clients describe as a delight to deploy and a pleasure to use. It is a comprehensive tool that seamlessly supports sales, operations, and accounting teams, yet is also flexible, affordable, and elegant. aACE 5 realizes the team's vision of Art in ERP.

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.

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.

Redd Remedies Upgrades from NetSuite to aACE 5

Recommended by Vital Planet, another midsize nutrition company that has been using aACE for over two years, aACE was endorsed as the solution to typical problems with NetSuite: un-intuitive design, labor-intensive reports, and disproportionate costs. Redd Remedies investigated the notable benefits that aACE offers, then decided this new provider was a much better match. They moved forward to deploy aACE 5 on an aggressive timeline. In only two months, they were able to go-live, enjoying a seamless transition to the FileMaker-based, cross-platform business management software for Mac and PC.

Redd Remedies Founder and CEO Dan Chapman says, “We have been able to reduce order entry errors, minimize order approval due to built-in double checks and accuracy of promotions/campaigns, and drastically improve our ship time from order entry to out-the-door. aACE is already helping us save hundreds of labor-hours each month.”

aACE Software CEO Michael Bethuy says, "Redd Remedies is a great example of the SMEs that aACE 5 is designed to accelerate. We offer a compelling alternative for businesses dependent on browser-based solutions like NetSuite, open-source solutions like xTuple, or client/server solutions like QuickBooks, Dynamics, and Sage.”

aACE was able to accommodate a majority of Redd Remedies' needs right out of the box. The remaining needs represented in-house expertise they had acquired after many years in business, and aACE's easy customization allowed them to codify those learnings to maximize their competitive advantage.

Gartner Digital Markets (GDM) identifies aACE as a noteworthy contender in the ERP space.

NEW YORK, May 10, 2017 - PRLog -- aACE Software was named by SoftwareAdvice.com as a significant ERP Contender, using the data-driven methodology from Gartner.

The 2017 FrontRunners report helps small businesses find software products that offer the best capability and value. The report focuses on four categories: Leaders, Pacesetters, Masters, and Contenders. The Leaders segment collects the most widely used products. Pacesetters include broad functionality sets, while the Masters group concentrates on more limited, highly valued features. The Contenders sector includes aACE and is reserved for strong products that currently fly below the radar, but are capturing increased attention.

The Gartner methodology for this report draws on public data sources, info from each technology vendor, plus user ratings and product reviews. Each product review is validated to ensure it meets quality standards. The 2017 report reviewed over 600 ERP products, placing aACE in the top 3%.

"We're pleased at this recognition from a research group as well-respected as Gartner Digital Markets using Gartner methodologies,” said aACE Software CEO, Michael Bethuy. "This report distinguishes us for something we've been working on for many, many years — building high-quality software.”

Indirect Licensing Policy

Overview

In brief, SAP brought the court case against Diageo, demanding that this client pay additional fees for access to CRM data and online ordering. Diageo was already paying general license fees, maintenance fees, and additional specific licensing fees; however, SAP asserted this was insufficient. The judge decided in favor of SAP, based on the concept of "indirect licensing." Diageo must now pay over $67 million to cover usage by their own customers and suppliers.

While the ruling is currently limited to the U.K., it sets a precedent that could have massive consequences. Indirect licensing could be extended to include online shoppers checking prices, placing orders, or tracking deliveries.

Our Position

aACE Software's position on indirect licensing is simple — we don’t do it.

We believe aACE licensing is only required for users who have direct interaction with our software, not for the people who access third-party applications which rely on aACE as a data source.

As an active participant in developing and providing quality business software, aACE wants to work with entrepreneurs and business owners to build an atmosphere of trust. We believe that long-term success for everyone involved can naturally emerge from this kind of mutual respect.
