History
AIMS began developing ERP technologies in 1987, when it introduced early versions of the Socrate system to support enterprise computerization in Lebanon and neighboring regions.[1] In the early 2000s, the company released Socrate Platinum, which was adopted by several regional enterprises. A 2009 AmCham publication reported that telecom operators Vivacell (Sudan) and Lintel (Sierra Leone) selected the software for financial, procurement, sales, and workflow operations.[3]
A fully web-enabled successor, Socrate Series 7, was released in 2008. A 2018 AmCham publication described the software's modular architecture, covering finance, HR, procurement, sales, manufacturing, contracting, distribution, and retail.[4]
In the 2010s, the company expanded the ecosystem with Socrate Mobile, used for warehouse, delivery, and field operations.[1]
Development
Development of Socrate ERP has continued through multiple generations, with increasing emphasis on cloud technologies, remote access, and multi-company architecture.
