Using NRGship on Older Macs (2024)

Recently we have had support issues with older Macs not supporting TeamViewer which we use for remote support.

We highly recommend updating to macOS 11 (Big Sur) for any Mac released since 2014. You can find more information on supported hardware for macOS Big Sur on the Apple website.

We do not recommend updating older Macs to newer OS versions like Ventura or Sonoma as these versions are meant for newer Apple Silicon Macs and performance and compatability will be degraded.

As always, check compatibility with other applications that you use before updating.

For customers using macOS 10.15 (Catalina) our knowledgebase has a link for an older compatible version.

aACE is a comprehensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution designed to meet the needs of businesses across various industries. From accounting to inventory management and production management to CRM, aACE provides a centralized platform for organizations to manage their processes effectively. aACE is designed for companies that have outgrown small-business software packages and patchwork solutions or are frustrated by the poor performance of expensive ERP systems.

Shipping data transfers back and forth between NRGship and aACE for easily accessible information and real-time visibility, allowing businesses to track shipments, monitor delivery times, and proactively address any issues that may arise. Shipments are processed using NRGship while the data remains in aACE.

Key advantages include:

  • Improved Order Accuracy: By automating the shipping process, the likelihood of errors such as incorrect addresses or shipping methods is significantly reduced.
  • Enhanced Efficiency: With aACE and NRG Shipping working together, redundant tasks are minimized.
  • Real-Time Visibility: The integration provides real-time visibility into all areas of the shipping process.
  • Cost Savings: Automation and efficiency translate to cost savings. By optimizing shipping processes, businesses can reduce shipping costs and improve their bottom line.

By combining the robust features of aACE with the efficiency of NRG Shipping, organizations can create a seamless system. As businesses continue to prioritize speed, accuracy, and customer satisfaction, the aACE and NRG Shipping integration stands out as a strategic investment in the future success of any enterprise.

NRG participates in 2023 PromoStandards Hack-A-Thon

Back in September, NRG Software staff participated in a group effort to use AI functionality along with PromoStandards to solve common business needs in the promo industry. Utilizing OpenAI we created a group name, logo and a model that would use AI to source and select products based on a prompt, for example, “what products would be good for a sales summit?” We loaded our model with products from several PromoStandards Product Data endpoints. The result was a web solution which returned product text and images based on the query. In the end, our group took 3rd place for our solution.

In a previous article we looked at PromoStandards integration using AirTable and Claris FileMaker Pro.

Contact us if you’d like to discuss PromoStandards integration!

In the video below at around the 47 minute mark you can see our submission.

NRG shipping supports new USPS Ground Advantage

On July 9, 2023, USPS introduced a new ground-based package service: USPS Ground Advantage. This service replaces USPS First-Class Package Service, Parcel Select Ground, and Retail Ground.
