AGG Software

What AGG Software does

AGG Software is a Vancouver, Canada-based private software company founded in 1999 that builds data acquisition, logging, and monitoring tools for serial, network, and industrial protocol environments. Its catalog of more than 20 products targets engineers and system integrators working with COM/RS232/RS485/USB serial ports, TCP/UDP network streams, and industrial protocols including MODBUS, OPC, NMEA, and SNMP. Specialized offerings cover CNC DNC file transfer and syntax editing (DNC Precision, CNC Syntax Editor), PBX call logging across 260+ PBX systems, GPS/fleet tracking, SNMP-based infrastructure monitoring, and an expanding OPC interoperability suite (OPC Server Simulator, OPC Scada Viewer, OPC File Server, OPC HTTP Gateway).

The company sells primarily through perpetual one-time licenses distributed via a self-serve digital storefront and a global reseller/integrator channel, with its website localized in seven or more languages including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and major European languages. It operates as a bootstrapped, founder-owned firm with no external funding and a 1–10 employee headcount, releasing regular product updates and version builds across its catalog. Customer segments span industrial automation, CNC machine operations, telecom and call centers, fleet management, energy/utilities, and maritime vessel tracking — a heterogeneous mix of SMBs, individual integrators, and embedded enterprise deployments.

Core offering

AGG Software develops and sells a portfolio of Windows-based data acquisition, logging, and monitoring software that captures data from serial ports (RS232, RS485, USB, COM), network interfaces (TCP/IP, UDP), industrial protocols (MODBUS, OPC DA/UA, NMEA, SNMP, DNP3, BACnet), PBX telephony systems, GPS trackers, and CNC machines. Products are sold as perpetual licensed software with free trials and export captured data in real time to files, databases (MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle), Excel, and enterprise/SCADA systems.

Product overview

AGG Software offers a comprehensive portfolio of data logging and monitoring software solutions focused on serial communication, network protocols, and industrial automation. The product lineup centers on multiple specialized data loggers including Advanced Serial Data Logger (for RS232/COM ports), Advanced TCP/IP Data Logger (for network traffic), Advanced NMEA Data Logger (for GPS/marine data), GPS Tracker Data Logger (for vehicle/personal tracking), Advanced OPC Data Logger (for industrial automation), Advanced PBX Data Logger (for telecommunications with 260+ PBX support), SNMP Data Logger (for network management), and USB monitoring solutions. These core loggers share a common plugin architecture and can export data to databases (MS SQL Server, MySQL), Excel, and various industrial protocols. Supporting products include TCP COM Bridge and TCP Splitter for network-to-serial connectivity, MODBUS Gateway for protocol conversion, Datatag Link for interconnecting heterogeneous data sources (OPC/MODBUS/MQTT/SQL), OPC Server Simulator for testing, OPC Scada Viewer for visualization, and OPC HTTP Gateway for web connectivity. Additional utilities include Log Monitor & Export, Serial Printer Logger, CNC Syntax Editor, and DNC Precision for CNC machine communication. The company also maintains related products Virtual Null Modem, COM Port Data Emulator, and COM Port Stress Test for serial port development and testing.
