What makes Aspen Systems unique is the company, products, and services have all grown organically. Canopy is the most comprehensive, fully integrated software solution available to the food industry, designed and supported by the same company since inception.

Our Development Team provides a solution that is also a unique offering. All customers take advantage of the years of development that have been poured into the software as design concepts are shared equally among the customer base. All modules are fully integrated into Canopy, ensuring the reliability and timeliness of data. All design work is thoroughly tested by Aspen’s highly skilled Quality Assurance department. The end result is software that truly provides the full solution for accounting, inventory control, warehouse management, production, scaling, labeling and more.
