AIMS is a mature software system with much to offer. Strong for those operating in any of our industries, this ERP shines for those involved in multiple.
Our distribution system has a great buy-to-order requisition system, an effective auto-reorder system, and our pricing program does almost everything. You get margin control every step of the way along with meaningful sales reports to analyze where you’ve been and where you are going. Serialized and lot-controlled items with optional heat tracking and expiry dates, drop ships, alternate units of measure, cores, kits, cash sales, and deposits.
Quotations can be copied from a template and emailed to multiple recipients along with attachments. Pick slips can be auto generated. The Price Margin Report ensures you’ll never sell anything at a loss, our credit system is efficient, and the Item Display shows available quantities at all locations along with movement. And don’t forget, purchasing allows after-the-fact corrections along with a complete accrued payables subledger to keep the accountants happy.
Our manufacturing system provides for make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, and the job cost style of working without a formal BoM. It has the ability to charge equipment costs, labour time and overhead, stock material, direct purchases, subcontractors, and misc. charges like royalties. And yes, it even does scheduling.
BoM revisions, exploded costing and material availability, where-used capabilities, quick assemblies, disassembles, partial releases, flushing or non-flushing, optional sub-assembly work orders printed with the main, plus many reports including WiP and Period-to-Date costing are included in our features.
Our service system allows repairing customer equipment as well as your own, selling by fixed price or time & material, and requisitioning non-stock items including custom manufacturing. AIMS accommodates servicing multiple units on one service order along with problem and resolution notes. And service integrates well for rentals assets that need to be inspected or repaired upon return.
Our rental system allows automatic billing or on demand, multiple units of measure, and selling material (like consumables) along with the contract. Material sales includes special order purchasing or manufacturing requisitions. The Rentals module provides reports and inquiries to ensure you don’t miss a billing and integrates well with our Job Cost system to manage sophisticated setups and tear downs.
Also called projects, our construction system is centered around job costing. Time Entry for labour costs and overhead, Fixed Assets for equipment, Inventory and Purchasing for stock and non-stock material plus subcontracts, Manufacturing for custom fabrication, and a billing / payables system that handles holdbacks. In terms of projects, every quote, order, invoice, and P/O can be tied to a job number. Useful for large rental, service, or supply contracts that involve more than one customer PO.
Financially, our system is robust. Receivables, Payables, G/L, and Fixed Assets supply all the requirements a modern accounting team needs. Cash receipts, vendor payments, automatic depreciation, financial reporting that includes consolidations, and a bank reconciliation that have been proven by thousands of users. Our CRM is called Contact Manager. It provides for customer, prospect, vendor, and personal to-dos along with various coded activities. Activity history is maintained and reported on. Our carry-over feature is appreciated by every salesperson who sees it.
AIMS uses a central file to define which features are active along with options like the number of decimal positions for pricing (up to four) and inventory quantities (up to three). As a result, this central file gives users the ability to tailor the system to their liking.
Written in C# coupled with Microsoft’s Sequel Server database, AIMS supports multiple companies, multiple branches / stocking locations, buying and selling in multiple currencies, and an inter-branch transfer system that’s second to none. The system includes security to ensure users have access to only the options they require and management gets dashboards to reduce their time managing.
Owned and developed by WCS, AIMS has been designed with the input of customers to make it the most user-friendly software out there. We are committed to enhancing functionality by developing new versions and additional modules to complement the system. We also integrate with many third-party solutions like ECommerce, warehouse shipping, and the Moneris payment system. Plus, we offer services for application training, account management, telephone hot-line support, and programming modifications.
