About aACE
aACE is a business management system combining accounting, CRM, inventory, and production modules in one interface. The production area covers job and task tracking, single- and multi-level bills of materials for made-to-order and made-to-stock assemblies, scheduling with task anchoring, just-in-time procurement, inventory usage entry, and time tracking through timesheets or a time clock. The system also includes document management for attaching files such as CAD drawings to a job folder.
The vendor's site positions aACE for small and mid-sized manufacturers looking to move off spreadsheets or entry-level accounting tools. The software runs on Mac and PC and is described as cloud-hosted, with an option to arrange separate hosting for the Enterprise edition by contacting the vendor.
Pricing is published on the site: the Complete Edition is listed at 99 USD per user per month with a 5-user minimum and a 249 USD monthly hosting fee, while the Enterprise Edition is listed at 199 USD per user per month with a 10-user minimum and a 499 USD monthly hosting fee. The site states that all users get all available features with no hidden costs, but it does not specify what integrations are supported beyond the built-in accounting, CRM, and production modules, and it does not clearly explain how self-hosting works for the Enterprise edition beyond directing buyers to contact the company.
