Since we started developing Abel in 1996 we have had just one single-minded objective: to provide medium-sized companies with serious ERP functionality without the associated complexity, cost and maintenance burdens of systems developed for very large organizations.
The sector of the market we serve is accordingly very much defined by businesses who are growing and need to move up from basic accountancy-based packages to full visibility over all their vital business processes. The single-minded focus we bring to developing our software has resulted in Abel now being used by more than 200 businesses. Some companies have been using Abel for more than 14 years, with one of these managing over 1 million transactions every day in over a hundred branches across several countries.
To meet our business sector’s needs, our software has been designed from the ground up to be highly flexible. From day one it fits seamlessly with your existing IT systems, adapting to your needs, not the other way round. This fully integrated system – linking financial, manufacturing and production, distribution, inventory, customer and supplier management systems – also uniquely allows you to “light up” only the functionalities you actually need to use. This saves costs and allows for inbuilt easy scalability, enabling you to progressively switch on new functionality as your business grows without facing further installation headaches and costs.
Developed by engineers with an extensive background in designing successful solutions for sometimes remote industrial, manufacturing and mining companies, Abel has established a prized reputation for simplicity of use and reliability. It is designed to be run by your staff, not by external IT support teams. As the needs of our customers continue to change, we are committed to continually bringing out new features to meet these needs of a constantly changing commercial world. These features include our innovative Abel Multi Company Accounting software which is supporting businesses daily; operating in multi-country, multi-company/branch and multi-language and currency environments.
Typically, implementation of a new Abel system for a medium-sized business requires around one month, with follow-up visits. To ensure we meet our customers’ needs, we focus not only on speed of implementation but also competitive pricing. We provide highly competitive one-time or monthly licensing options that save you from the big upfront fees charged by other system suppliers. Full support and training is provided by your Abel Distributor. Because our system is user-friendly and intuitive you can expect your staff to quickly find their way around Abel without requiring intensive training time.
