Aplicor

Founded in 1999, Aplicor operated as a global, cloud-based software provider specializing in integrated business applications. The company, which is now out of business, was headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with a global R&D center in Malaysia. Aplicor targeted its solutions toward mid-market, high-growth, and enterprise-level organizations, including the U.S. government and clients in highly regulated industries.

The company's primary offering was an all-in-one, subscription-based software suite that combined Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and e-commerce functionalities into a single platform. This integrated approach aimed to simplify complexities for growing companies by providing a unified view of finance, operations, and sales data. The platform was delivered via the cloud on a pay-as-you-go subscription model, which included software, IT, and support. Key features included sales force automation, marketing management, customer support, financial management (such as general ledger, accounts payable/receivable), inventory management, and e-commerce portals. One of its flagship products was Cloud Suite 7, launched in March 2011, and later, Aplicor 3C.

Over its history, Aplicor raised a total of $25.1 million in funding over eight rounds, with its first recorded round in 2008 and its final Series C round in 2016. The executive team included CEO Scott Creighton, who had previous experience at IT companies like Siebel and Oracle, and Steve Haley, who also served as CEO at one point. The company was considered a competitor to major players like Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP in the SaaS-based CRM software market. PitchBook data indicates the company went out of business as of January 2017.
