AIMS vs a generic ERP

A generic ERP is built to serve every industry, so it is configured to fit yours. AIMS starts from a core built for one kind of business. Neither is right for everyone.

Generic ERP is enough when

You need full accounting and statutory reports in the same system.
You run many legal entities or countries from one platform.
You have an IT team to run and change the system.

AIMS pays off when

You sell and service equipment, or trade and distribute goods.
You want a system that fits your work without a long customisation project.
You prefer to pay once and own your data.

Questions

Is AIMS an ERP?

AIMS covers much of what an ERP does for its kind of business, from sales to service, stock and HR, but it is not a generic ERP. Your books of account can stay in Tally or Zoho Books.

Do we lose our accounting system?

No. AIMS works alongside Tally or Zoho Books, which stay your books of account.
