Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions before you purchase or download AmCEO.
About the product
What is Anywhere Access and how is it different from Cloud Sync?
Anywhere Access lets you reach your running AmCEO installation remotely through a secure connection to your computer. Your business data stays on your device — AmCEO does not host it. Cloud Sync is optional and separate: it copies selected records into a Supabase project you create and control, useful for backup or keeping separately licensed installs aligned. You can use either, both, or neither.
Can customers order directly from my AmCEO storefront?
Yes. With Public Storefront enabled, customers browse your published products and place reservation orders. Those orders appear in your POS for your team to confirm (which creates a real sale) or cancel (which releases the stock hold) — no separate ecommerce system required.
How do online storefront orders get fulfilled?
When a customer places a reservation order on your Public Storefront, it appears in AmCEO's POS for review. An authorized team member confirms it to complete the sale, or cancels it to release the hold. Everything stays inside your existing POS and inventory workflow.
What data can I sync with Cloud Sync now?
Cloud Sync covers your complete business data across all 12 modules — into a Supabase project you create and control. Sensitive personal identifiers stay on your device by design. Licensed customers can review the full schema documentation at amceo.app/schema (sign in with your license email) before enabling sync.
How do task approval workflows work?
You define who must approve a task, each approver records their decision, and AmCEO keeps a full audit trail — including attached documents when you use them. Approvals are designed so completed decisions stay settled.
Can I create custom task automation rules?
Yes. Beyond AmCEO's built-in defaults, you can create custom automation rules — for example, automatically assign or notify when a task moves to a certain status. Your rules stay with your installation and can sync when Cloud Sync is enabled.
Does AmCEO include a CRM?
Yes. AmCEO includes a full CRM with company and contact management, a deal pipeline with Kanban board, activity tracking, and direct links to Finance invoices and transactions. Customer-facing staff can work with scoped CRM access.
Does AmCEO have a Point of Sale system?
Yes. AmCEO includes a touch-friendly POS terminal that works on tablets and phones via your office network. It generates receipts with QR codes and barcodes, supports cash, card, and mobile money payments, and automatically posts sales to your Finance module. Front-line staff can use a Cashier role for POS-focused access.
Can AmCEO handle different types of employees like locums and casual workers?
Yes. AmCEO supports multiple employment types — including locums and casual workers — with Ghana tax treatment built in for each.
Can AmCEO generate staff ID cards and HR letters?
Yes. AmCEO generates professional staff ID cards with QR verification on your office network, and a complete library of professional HR letters — from offer and confirmation through disciplinary and exit documentation — all on your branded letterhead.
Does AmCEO support multiple warehouses?
Yes. Inventory can be tracked across multiple warehouse locations, with transfers between locations, a full audit trail, and low-stock alerts by location.
Can AmCEO create bank payment instruction letters?
Yes. Finance can generate professional bank payment instruction letters for staff salaries, statutory payments, and suppliers — ready to send to your bank, with a retrievable letter history.
Does AmCEO have a helpdesk?
Yes. AmCEO includes an internal helpdesk for your team and a customer-facing ticketing system with SLA tracking, email notifications, and a public submission form your customers can use without logging in.
Can I sync my data to the cloud?
Yes. Cloud Sync is complete across all 12 modules into your own Supabase project. You control where your data lives. Sensitive personal identifiers stay on your device. Review the schema at amceo.app/schema after signing in with your license email, then set up sync in minutes.
Does AmCEO support construction businesses?
Yes. AmCEO includes a Construction & Engineering template with industry-specific categories, departments, dashboard KPIs, and payroll support for site workers, subcontractors, and casual labour.
How does annual license renewal work?
Licenses renew annually with a simple online process at amceo.app/renew. Pricing uses live currency conversion from a GHS base, and AmCEO sends automated reminder emails at key milestones before expiry and when the grace period starts. After expiry, a 14-day grace period applies; then soft-lock blocks new records while view/export remain available until you renew.
Is AmCEO a subscription or one-time payment?
You pay once for your plan tier — there is no monthly subscription. Licenses then renew annually through a simple online renewal at amceo.app/renew, with live currency conversion and automated reminder emails before expiry.
Does AmCEO work without internet?
Yes. Core features like finance, HR, CRM, POS, inventory, and reporting work fully offline. Internet is only needed for first-time license activation, optional AI features, and optional cloud sync.
What operating systems does AmCEO support?
Windows 10/11 and macOS (Apple Silicon M1 and later).
Can I use AmCEO on more than one computer?
One license = one installed copy of AmCEO on one computer. Team members can still access the system from unlimited devices via your office network (LAN) — this doesn't count against your device limit. To move AmCEO to a new computer, deactivate it on the old device first (Settings → Deployment → Moving to a New Computer), then activate on the new one.
Does LAN / office network access count as another device?
No. Your license covers one installed copy of AmCEO on one computer (typically your host PC). Staff who sign in through your office LAN in a browser are not separate licensed installations and do not use additional device slots.
Purchasing & payments
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept card payments and mobile money (MTN MoMo, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo) via Paystack.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Payments are processed by Paystack, a leading African payment provider. AmCEO never stores your card details.
Can I get a receipt for my purchase?
Yes. A receipt is sent to your email immediately after purchase, along with your license key.
Do you offer a free trial?
Yes. AmCEO includes a 30-day free trial with full access — no credit card required.
After purchase
How do I receive my license key?
Your license key is delivered to your email immediately after payment is confirmed.
What if I don't receive my license key?
Check your spam folder first. If it's not there, email support@amceo.app with your payment reference and we'll resend it within 2 hours.
Moving to a new computer — how do I transfer my license?
Yes — you can transfer. Because each license allows one installation, deactivate on the old computer before activating on the new one. In the app, go to Settings → Deployment → Moving to a New Computer for a guided backup → set up → deactivate flow. You can also deactivate from Settings → License. Contact support@amceo.app if you need help.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on the initial purchase. Annual renewal payments are generally non-refundable once the new term begins. See our full Refund Policy for details.
What happens if I don't renew on time?
After expiry you get a 14-day grace period. During grace and after soft-lock, you can still view and export existing data; creating new records is blocked until you renew at amceo.app/renew.
Privacy & data
Where is my business data stored?
Your business records stay on your own computer by default, or in your own Cloud Sync database if you opt in. AmCEO does not host your books. Separately, license activation/validation uses a device identifier to enforce the one-device limit, and optional anonymous crash reports (error message, stacks, app version, OS, hashed machine id — not business data) may be sent unless you turn that off in Settings. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Do you share my data with third parties?
We do not sell your personal data. Payment processing uses Paystack; optional AI features may use Anthropic per your settings. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

How do I get help if something goes wrong?
Email support@amceo.app — we respond within 24 hours on business days. Enterprise customers get phone support.
Do you offer setup assistance?
Yes. Email us and we'll help you get set up at no extra charge.
