AVE Investments, Inc. is a leading provider of retail POS hardware, hardware services and hardware maintenance, software, software services and software maintenance to the industry with the latest technology, smallest footprint and lowest cost, allowing Ted Ave-Lallemant to minister to the retail business with fifty-two rules that he learned throughout his business life.

Who is AVE Investments, Inc.?

AVE Investments, Inc. has several different divisions:

POS Hardware and Peripherals consisting of the pcCashdrawer, the pcKeyboard, the pcMonitor and the posPortable; also the integration trays for the IBM SurePOS 300 and 500 Series.  AVE   Investments recommends the IBM line of POS peripherals for use with all their œpc products.

POS Software.   JDA Software Group has awarded AVE Investments, a  Reciprocal Marketing Alliance agreement. This means that AVE Investments can now offer a total retail store operations solution to the retailer with JDA 's POS Software, Win/DSS and associated modules  to integrate it to   Merchandising Systems.  Now the retailer need only AVE to supply all its store systems software and hardware.

POS Hardware Services including integration, installation and maintenance using custom-fitted over the road coaches. AVE 's methodology utilizes the services of   the same technicians in many stores rather than a different technician is each store. This creates a faster install as the technician has performed the same task with the JDA Software over and over making him more experienced and able to cope with the complexities of the roll-out.   AVE Investments has been selected as JDA 's POS hardware integration, installation, and service provider.

POS Software Services.   As a  subcontractor  of JDA Software, AVE Investments is uniquely qualified to perform the implementation of the Win/DSS  modules  for retailers or resellers alike. Fast and efficient, AVE Investments will take the worry out of migrating from a legacy POS system to the powerful products from JDA Software.

Started in 1984 as a pc builder, AVE Investments gained national recognition with the introduction of the world 's first computerized, modular Point of Sale register, the CompuRegister.   In the 90's as an IBM business partner, AVE Investments sold exclusively the IBM POS line of hardware along with its own product, the CompuRegister.   Now AVE Investments, Inc has created a new generation in Point of Sale with its line of œpc POS products.

Ted Ave-Lallemant, the president of AVE Investments, Inc for the past 25 years, is the patent recipient for the original computerized register and is the driving force behind all the products offered by AVE Investments. Ted brings over a quarter century of experience plus knowledge of the needs of retail chains.  This knowledge covers not only a wealth of information when it comes to POS technology but also practical expertise gained through the rollout of over 60 national chains supplying IBM and AVE products.    

The first product in his œpc line of POS solutions was the pcCashdrawer, created in 2005.   For years Ted had wanted to combine the computer with the cash drawer but could not until technology had advanced sufficiently to create the new fanless, micro-sized pc's.   The pcCashdrawer Point of Sale solution simply and beautifully eliminates the need for a computer sitting below or on the counter with ugly cables visible to all and yet does so at a reasonable cost to the retailer.

About Our Mission Statement

Every time a new product is added to AVE Investments it must pass the test of   AVE's mission statement.   It must represent the first of its kind, exhibit the smallest footprint possible and be the least expensive example of its type.   It must use the latest technology while at the same time permit AVE to support it with the best service in the industry.

AVE Investments, Inc. has never changed this mantra since its inception in 1984.  

Author of 52 Rules of Business, Ted Ave-Lallemant will continue to push AVE Investments to find new and innovative ways to serve the industry that he loves.
