aACE Reviews & Product Details

aACE is a comprehensive business management solution designed for companies that have outgrown small-business packages and patchwork solutions or are frustrated by the poor performance of expensive ERP systems. aACE’s core functionality includes: • Accounting • Customer Relationship Management (CRM) • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • Material Requirements Planning (MRP) • Inventory Management • Order Management • Production Management • Shipping and Receiving Management • Calendar and Scheduling Management As the letters in our name suggest, aACE unifies A-ccounting, C-ustomer relationship management, and E-nterprise resource planning into an integrated package. 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.

"Customize to fit out distinctive business requirements"

4.5/5

What do you like best about aACE?

It has proven useful for aACE in the running of our expanding company. It provides me with entire solutions for accounting, customer relations, and inventory. This has helped to reduce the use of many software programs, and thus become efficient in our operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about aACE?

The built-in reports are not as detailed and flexible as I need them to be for the analysis. Preparing reports means that one has to export some data and then work with them in other worksheets, which is tiring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about aACE?

I was disappointed by the availability of the reporting options, though they are fairly basic. Getting detailed reports with a wide range of filters and drill down options may be rather difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User Friendly Tool for all business needs"

5/5

What do you like best about aACE?

- aACE lets you work in multiple windows at the same time

- throughout all different department the system looks and works same making it easy to learn the complete system

- the system does and automates as much or as little as the users select

- document attachment is extremely simplified and very helpful

- being smaller company they listen very well to specific needs and even without CUSTOM version often provide feature as long as it may benefit "all" customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about aACE?

There is very little to not like about this product as it works well. Any bugs are corrected immediately. Only concern may be their smaller "manpower" for some large companies operating 24/7. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use, Powerful & Fun"

5/5

What do you like best about aACE?

aAce is easy to use, works across any platform, is extremely customizable, and is a complete/powerful ERP. The support behind the system is unparalleled. It is, by a wide margin, the best system I have personally used, when compared to QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, SAGE, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Business Central), or NetSuite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about aACE?

Nothing. It is a near-flawless system as-is, and any issue that does arise, it can be ameliorated quickly. Michael B. (the creator/developer of the software) will make certain your deployment is what you need. For example, my pharmaceutical operation requires a deep level of precision that was not available out of the box. Michael edited the back-end code to provide the level of precision I needed within five minutes of alerting him of the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering aACE:

You should really consider aACE before dumping five times the amount into "leading" softwares by Oracle, Microsoft, Sage, etc. At the end of the day, almost all accounting packages will get you to where you need to go. But if you want to do it cheaply and without the nightmare-level of conversion effort and correction, aAce is the journey you want to take. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is aACE solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a complete software for the management of a pharmaceutical repackaging plant; aACE handles everything from the basic accounting to complex production requirements. In aACE, you can do anything from CRM & Sales, Order Management, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, GL Accounting, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"aACE – a powerful ERP + automation and extensibility"

5/5

What do you like best about aACE?

aACE’s flexible and critical approach to our business’ needs have earned them high praise throughout our team. Throughout the implementation process we found ourselves thinking along with the aACE team to utilize this software to mirror and improve our operations during a critical time in our industry. This collaboration has yielded a platform that will not only support our current operations but will help our business grow for years to come.

The ability to customize everything, if needed (it works fine without customization too), from the desktop to the individual apps to meet our particular use case and needs was refreshing compared to the rigidity we have found in previous ERPs. Additionally, the team’s dedication to us as customers was refreshing, with aACE experts not only solving our issues, but providing insights into how and why they do what they do. The software's design is agile and has great interoperability with other data sources, and the interface is clean, and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about aACE?

Any system will have its nits, and with aACE we would push for future iterations to allow individual users additional customization options, what is there works well, but that would be a nice to have. The learning curve of any ERP is steep, and aACE is user-friendly and easy to learn, but moving to any full featured ERP product can be an undertaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering aACE:

We have used and tested a number of common large vendor packages over the years. We approached the decision of a new ERP after realizing that our current large software package was not as modern or tailorable as we desired - and in effect was holding us back. After extensive testing and deep dives into the state of the ERP market, we made the decision to choose aACE. A big decision that has proved itself out. aACE has the standards-based rigor needed by a serious organization, yet agile to handle unique and cutting edge situations, plus the bonus that it utilizes modern technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is aACE solving and how is that benefiting you?

With any software package, if something is missing, you assume it is either not available, incapable, or requires some type of odd 3rd party integration because that is how other systems work. aACE is the opposite of that thinking, your use case is likely already covered, but when it is not, you are able to get to a better solution, without caveats. We have not run into anything that aACE cannot handle and frankly, handle much better than alternatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
