COMPAS-Complete Marketer Accounting Testimonials

Case Studies

"We sell a lot of product to state and local tax exempt municipalities which creates a lot of paper work just to get your excise tax rebate returned. We needed a system that had the flexibility to generate different tax reports. Working with AIMS, Florida Fuel Tax Div., and the IRS, we were able to produce a report with COMPAS that satisfied everyone. So now instead of sending copies of every ticket, we print the report, attach it to the supporting IRS documents and we are finished. The job is done in minutes instead of hours and sometimes days."

Charlie Roberts, President
Eli Roberts, Inc. - Tallahassee, FL

"I wanted a system that would save time. I was spending 10 to 12 hours a day trying to stay up with all the paperwork. I usually left the office about 8 or 9 pm. With COMPAS, I save at least 4 hours a day with daily posting and payroll only takes 20 minutes (even with 2 or 3 times more employees than we currently have, it would only add maybe 10 minutes). Tax reporting took us 3 days, now we are finished in a half day. We are ready to close our day now around 3:30 pm and I leave the office by 5:00 pm everyday, which is what I wanted from a computer system."

Billy McCann, President
R. J. Stuckey, Inc. - Century, FL

"We had a real mixture of accounting functions: manual posting in the office, out sourced payroll, some invoicing done by a computer from our card lock and our accountants were trying to give us financial statements. We needed a system that could tie everything together for us and COMPAS has done that. We do nothing manually now. Our payroll is done in house, our card lock system is interfaced to COMPAS and we even have our c-store accounting on COMPAS. Everything flows to the G.L. We can pull a financial statement anytime we want, our accountants love the system and our bank is happy with our financial controls."

Customer Testimonials

"We've been using AIMS since the mid-90's. There are two reasons I would recommend them: Their software meets a jobber's needs and AIMS is great about bringing out the new features that you need. You don't have to lobby them constantly. Second, their service is great. It's prompt and their people know what they are doing."

Ron Forgey, President
Jim Woods Marketing - Treece, KS

"Mitchell Oil's goal was to increase efficiency and accuracy. AIMS' systems (COMPAS and AUTOSEND) have been wonderful tools to accomplish this goal. They have enabled us to streamline our business and reduce our staff. We are very pleased with the changes AIMS has assisted us in accomplishing in our business."

Carol Egolf, CFO
Mitchell Oil Company - Fayetteville, AR

"We use a couple of AIMS' systems. AUTOSEND for SIR analysis and dispatching capabilities is just as valuable to as as COMPAS is for manifest entry and accounting. Both systems expedite administration. We've had a good relationship with AIMS. They stress customer service, and I have found them to be fair in their dealings."

Rick Campbell, President
Progressive Energy, LLC - Ardmore, OK

"AIMS' system is easy to use, and I am pleased with the day-to-day use. My month-end closing only takes an hour. COMPAS is a good system and I recommend it."

Mark Hall, President
Hall Transportation - Lindsay, OK

"Each time I call with a problem, software/technical support is very prompt to call me back with help. They are always very courteous and prompt to help me with any situation or question I may have. We are excited about the new capabilities in our COMPAS system that we are going to be able to utilize for reducing paperwork and lessening the margin for error."

Sherer Craft
Sewell Oil Company, Inc. - El Dorado, AR

"The way the programs and menus are written in COMPAS makes it so simple and easy to follow. This makes it easy to train others to use the system. If you can read, you can use it. I also love the look-up features and that closing at the end of the month is so easy."

Connie Parker, System Administrator
Blossman Petroleum Dist. - Franklinton, LA

"The COMPAS system works. It does precisely what AIMS promotes it to do and has enabled us to run our business more efficiently. AIMS has consistently kept up with technology, over the years. And most importantly, AIMS support has been fantastic. We are very thankful to have them in the back court helping us with the front court."

Lonney Averill
Stockton Oil Company - Billings, MT

"We have three different locations that are networked into our home office. The data transfer from these locations is exceptional. This allows us to quickly make important decisions based on daily input."

Jim Steffen, Controller
Cross Petroleum Service - Glendive, MT

"We had been given an idea about how the conversion (from COMPAS 7.0 to COMPAS 8.0) would go and it was easier than we anticipated. COMPAS 8.0 is faster and easier to use, and the operation of the software didn't change that much. It was just a few days until everyone was comfortable with COMPAS 8.0."

J. D. Rector, Information Systems Coordinator
Hi-Noon Petroleum - Missoula, MT

"The COMPAS program has proven itself to us and the backup is great!"

Ralph Hollingsworth, President

"I love how it manages our inventory. It is always accurate."

Paul Gravelle, System Administrator
L. S. & J. M. Gravelle, Inc. - Winnsboro, LA

"Reliability is a strong point for COMPAS. We have been on the system since 1991 and it has kept up and been responsive to changes within the industry. It is not a dead system."
