What Acies does
Acies A/S is a Denmark-based vertical software company founded in 1978 (originally as Logodan IT, rebranded to Acies in 2018) that develops industry-specific sales and production management solutions for door, window, and kitchen manufacturers. The company claims to be Scandinavia's largest supplier of software to the window manufacturing industry. Its product portfolio spans AciesOne (on-premise sales configuration and production management for door/window manufacturers), AciesCore (cloud-based successor on AWS with browser-based UI and backward compatibility to AciesOne), Integrator (sales and production management for kitchen manufacturers), AciesMES (paperless manufacturing execution system with deviation handling and time tracking), and AciesInsights (cloud-based data warehouse and BI built on Microsoft Azure and Power BI in partnership with Inspari). The products share a unified database and integrate with customers' external ERP systems via REST API.
Acies generates revenue from software licenses and subscriptions — offered as both cloud subscriptions (AciesCore, AciesInsights) and on-premise licenses (AciesOne) — supplemented by professional services delivered by consultants who have direct industry experience in kitchen and door/window manufacturing. Go-to-market is consultative and direct: the company engages prospects to understand their business before demonstrating solutions, supported by a self-service customer portal for downloads, release documentation, webinars, and Service Desk inquiries. With approximately 26–30 employees headquartered in Silkeborg, Denmark, Acies is privately held by co-owners Jørgen Balslev Clemmensen and Jesper Westfall under CEO Steffen Vester, operating under a flat, purpose-driven organizational structure introduced in 2018.
The customer base consists of enterprise manufacturers in door/window and kitchen production, including TCM Group (a customer since 1992), Inwido, Hanstholm Køkken, and Krone. Acies has been recognized four times as a Danish Gazelle business and is certified as a Great Place to Work; it has also invested in sustainability, reducing its own electrical consumption by 34.4% between 2018 and 2022 through CO2-neutral energy sources.
