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 tunnel 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 can browse your published products online and place reservation orders. Those orders integrate with your POS workflow inside AmCEO so your team can fulfill them without a separate ecommerce system.

What data can I sync with Cloud Sync now?

Cloud Sync can sync CRM (companies, contacts, deals, activities), Inventory (products and stock movements), full Finance — including chart of accounts, budgets, journals, invoices, bills, invoice and bill payments, bank accounts (last-4 only), reconciliations, and credit accounts/transactions — and HR (employees, leave requests, contracts, payroll runs, and staff document uploads with a private Storage bucket) into your own Supabase project. For privacy, TIN/SSNIT numbers and full bank account numbers stay local-only on your device; the cloud stores bank last-4 only. Payslips are regenerable locally and are not synced as files. Review the exact tables at amceo.app/schema before you enable sync.

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. A dedicated CRM Executive role gives customer-facing staff precisely scoped 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 the Cashier role for POS-focused access.

Can AmCEO handle different types of employees like locums and casual workers?

Yes. AmCEO supports 7 employment types including full-time, part-time, contract, locum, intern, probation, and casual workers — each with the correct Ghana tax treatment (graduated PAYE, WHT at 10% for locums, SSNIT thresholds).

Can AmCEO generate staff ID cards and HR letters?

Yes. AmCEO generates professional CR80 staff ID cards (landscape or portrait) with QR code verification, supports LAN-based instant staff verification, and includes a complete HR letter library — from appointment letters with PAYE/SSNIT breakdowns to confirmation, promotion, transfer, disciplinary, leave, and certificate of service documents — all on customizable letterhead.

Does AmCEO support multiple warehouses?

Yes. Inventory can be tracked across multiple warehouse locations, with real inter-warehouse stock transfers, 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 (GRA, SSNIT), and suppliers — including payee/annexure breakdowns for audit compliance, email delivery to your bank, and 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. AmCEO's Cloud Sync lets you sync CRM, Inventory, full Finance, and HR data to your own Supabase project — you control where your data lives. Sensitive HR identifiers (TIN/SSNIT and full bank numbers) stay on your device. The complete database schema is available at amceo.app/schema and can be set up 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 with correct WHT treatment.

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.
