Trek Cloud ERP empowers users with more control over ERP features and functionalities, enabling companies to access and leverage the entire platform without compromising product integrity and capabilities.  Through its unique transaction-based model, customers only pay according to business volume regardless of how many users are on the system and without any module fees.  As a result, Trek Cloud ERP optimizes cloud-based technology to provide enterprises with operational excellence while lowering barriers to adoption.

Trek Cloud ERP fully integrates accounting, finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, warehouses and supply chain, so that companies have control and visibility over their entire business. The product is targeted to growing midsize businesses and organizations, as well as divisions of larger enterprises with key target verticals focused on Distribution and eCommerce companies.

Based in Vancouver, Washington, Trek Global's management team is led by Chief Executive Officer Joel Stangeland and Chief Operating Officer Joel Hoffman. Stangeland and Hoffman have spent more than a decade addressing the ERP needs of mid-market distributors and have helped hundreds of companies improve their operations through a wide spectrum of solutions.

"Our launch represents a significant milestone in ERP that brings more than a decade's worth of real-world experience with hundreds of enterprises into one fully inclusive, best-in-class system," said Stangeland.  "From day one, we set our goals on eliminating what we learned were the three major obstacles toward adoption for mid-market companies: high costs of licenses, infrastructure and implementation. We take great pride today in knowing that those hurdles are now a thing of the past through Trek Cloud ERP."

Trek Cloud ERP is already in productive use with leading companies including Aminco International.

"We're very service-oriented, and the advanced features in Trek Cloud ERP will allow us to use technology to really help automate and speed up our processes," said Ed Wu, President, Aminco International. "Switching to Trek Cloud is a huge step in helping us keep up with the demands of our customers, and having it be cloud-based gives us a solid foundation for adding future features and updates without the pain and downtime of a traditional ERP system."
