The ARMS / ASPEN Story
ASPEN (originally ARMS POS) was created in 1985 by a building supply store owner who recognized that traditional POS and accounting systems didn’t meet the needs of independent retailers.
Instead of adapting accounting software to retail, ASPEN was designed with point-of-sale at its core, ensuring speed, usability, and operational relevance from day one.
Today, ASPEN continues to power independent retailers across Canada and the United States.
