Microsoft "Front Runner."  Our software is built on the latest Microsoft technologies--in this case SQL Server 2008.

AIMS is proud to be the first and possibly the only company in the jobber software business to achieve the "Works with Server 2008 designation," said David Dorries, Director of Sales and Marketing for AIMS.

"Our customers use and rely on our products to perform their critical daily business operations.  Verifying our software with the latest Microsoft server operating system helps customers feel confident in AIMS' ability to meet their needs today and in the future." 

AIMS is your portal to valuable collateral products and services.

One of the enduring rules of successful business is "Stick to what you know."  AIMS has done that by choosing to concentrate on developing software specifically for petroleum products wholesaling.

The jobber business has changed, like everything else.  As new wrinkles in methods of doing business develop, AIMS wants to continue to fulfill its role as your "computer company" by searching out and finding companies that offer specialized, complementary products and services.  AIMS has "pre-screened" each company we list below.  Remember that AIMS can generally direct you to a reliable provider of a computer-related product or service that we ourselves do not provide.
