About AAL Systems
We Replaced Our Own Stack First.
AAL Systems was born from the operational reality of running a business drowning in software subscriptions. This is the story of how we replaced our own tools—and why we started doing it for everyone else.
Our Story
The Software Bill
Before AAL Systems, we ran a managed service provider—growing it rapidly through multiple acquisitions. Every acquisition meant inheriting another software stack. We ended up running dozens of subscriptions, most of them paying for features nobody touched.
Enterprise prices for 20% of the features.
Every renewal was a negotiation. Every “platform update” broke something. Every new hire meant another per-seat fee. The breaking point wasn’t dramatic—it was just math.
The First Replacement
We started with the tool bleeding us the most. It took longer than expected—we were figuring out the process. But when it shipped, something clicked. The tool did exactly what we needed. Nothing more, nothing less.
Then we replaced another. And another.
Each time, the process got faster. The pattern became clear: identify the tool that’s costing the most, map how we actually use it, build a replacement around that reality, and deploy it on infrastructure we controlled.
The Results
The results spoke for themselves. Tools that worked the way we actually worked, instead of forcing us into someone else's workflow. Subscription costs eliminated. Complete control of our data and infrastructure. We stopped bending our operations to fit software and started building software to fit our operations.
AAL Systems Is Born
Other business owners in our network started noticing. They’d see us cancel a subscription and ask how. The answer was always the same: “We built our own.”
“Can you build ours?”
AAL Systems was the answer. We bring the same operational discipline that grew our own company to every client engagement. We identify what a business actually needs, build exactly that—purpose-fit to their workflows—and hand it over. No vendor lock-in. No dependency.
The Team
Built by People Who Run Businesses.
We ran and scaled a managed service provider before we wrote a line of code. That means every feature we build starts with the question: does this actually save time and money?
