Every successful business eventually hits a wall—when spreadsheets don’t scale, processes get tangled, and teams start spending more time patching systems than actually moving forward. That’s the moment companies need more than a product. They need a partner.
For growing businesses across the Southeast, that partner is ABSC Savannah—a team of Acumatica ERP consultants with decades of technical knowledge, deep-rooted customer values, and a refreshingly honest approach to helping companies modernize how they work.
But ABSC didn’t start as a slick tech firm. It started with a programmer, a few clients who couldn’t afford to lose him, and a commitment to solving real business problems.
A Legacy of Listening First
In the late 1970s, long before “cloud ERP” became a buzzword, ABSC began as a custom software firm in Savannah, Georgia. Its founder, Andrew Zeigler didn’t set out to build a business—he set out to help his clients. When he left his job, the clients followed. And for decades, he built one-off accounting systems, payroll tools, and union-specific applications from scratch, all based on listening to what businesses needed.
Many of those legacy systems are still running today—a testament to quality, trust, and the deep roots of customer-first service that define ABSC to this day.
Today’s Challenge: Smarter Growth with ERP
Fast forward to today, and ABSC Savannah has evolved into a modern ERP partner—helping companies across construction, distribution, and beyond migrate from legacy systems (or QuickBooks chaos) to cloud-based, fully integrated ERP with Acumatica.
“We work with businesses who’ve outgrown their old tools but still want that human support. We don't just install a system - we build a relationship.” Albert Zeigler - Partner/Operations Manager at ABSC Savannah
What Does That Mean?
• Custom ERP setups that fit your unique workflows
• Discovery calls that focus on your goals, not a cookie-cutter pitch
• Demos built with your branding, your language, and your real-world needs
• Local support from people who know your business—and answer the phone when you call
Who We Help (and Why It Works)
ABSC’s sweet spot? Mid-size companies that need end-to-end visibility. Companies with shipping departments. With warehouses. With sales teams, field teams, and inventory flying in every direction.
Think:
Distributors who move large volumes and need to track every pallet
Construction firms managing job costing, bids, and field updates
Businesses prepping for sale who want to boost operational value
Companies where departments don’t speak the same system language
“ERP is about getting the front and back of your business working together,” Zeigler says. “It’s about communication, clean data, and workflows that actually flow.”
And unlike big-box ERP firms, ABSC doesn’t disappear after go-live. The team stays engaged—tweaking, supporting, and evolving your setup as you grow.
The Long Game: Why Discovery Comes First
One thing you’ll never get from ABSC? A rushed pitch. The company is built on the belief that ERP readiness takes time. The average sales cycle spans months, sometimes longer—and that’s not a problem.
Most clients come in through referrals or long-standing relationships. And when they do, they’re met with a discovery process that’s unusually thorough:
• Hours of collaborative calls
• Hands-on system demos tailored to your business
• Custom mockups that reflect your actual use cases
“We’re not salesy,” Zeigler says. “We’re here when you’re ready—and we’ll be ready, too.”
If You Are Considering ERP
Come with goals: The more you know about what’s working and not working in your current setup and the direction you want to go, the more ABSC can help design the best solution to fit your business.
Be ready to paint the whole picture: As your trusted partner, it is critical we know where you are going from the beginning so we can help create a road map for success that holistically reflects your company’s strategies.
Ready When You Are
ABSC Savannah was built on relationships—and that hasn’t changed. Whether your current system is outdated, disconnected, or just not keeping up with your growth, ABSC brings the tools, the talent, and the patience to help you scale with confidence.
