Product Information  
System Aquilon ERP
Vendor Aquilon Software Inc.
Description
Aquilon Software Inc. develops, implements, and supports integrated business management software for small and mid-sized manufacturers and distributors. Aquilon Software is headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, and serves customers throughout Canada and the United States. The company addresses a specific and persistent gap in the market. Businesses that manage real inventory and real production are routinely left to choose between general accounting packages that cannot represent their operations and enterprise ERP platforms priced, scoped, and implemented for organizations many times their size. Aquilon Software exists to serve the companies in between. Its principal offering, Aquilon ERP, is a single integrated system covering financial management, distribution, ecommerce integration, supply chain, manufacturing, and customer relationship management. It is available as a cloud subscription or an on-premise installation, and pricing begins at $150 per user per month with a three-user minimum. Aquilon Software provides the complete lifecycle — software development, implementation, training, and ongoing support — through its own staff and a reseller channel.
