AG Systems was founded in 1986 by Alan Grinberg. At that time Alan wrote a business management program for his textile printing company, ZOO-INK Screen Print. Being visually inclined, Alan chose the Macintosh platform for the software. ZOO-INK, which specialized in printing small runs of fabric, naturally had a clientele in the Apparel Industry. When these people saw what Alan had created, they said "I want one!". For the next 5 years, Alan spent time developing custom software for a number of different types of businesses, all related to the textile, apparel, and interiors industries. In the early 90's, recognizing the common thread in the apparel business, a number of the custom programs were rolled into a single package, and PERFECT FIT was born. Because the program was written using a multiple window interface, as required on the Macintosh, and because Alan had chosen to use advanced programming tools from Omnis Software, we were able to be the first program in the apparel industry to support the Microsoft Windows operating system. Although we had an opportunity to deploy the application on Windows 2.0, we waited until Microsoft had developed a more stable platform. Our first Windows deployment was on Windows 3.1 in 1994. Over the years, as technology has advanced, the tools from Omnis Software have advanced at a similar rate. We have been able to build the program without having to "start all over" when the operating systems changed. This is a unique position in the industry. People Alan Grinberg, principal of the company, has a background in architecture, fine art, education, textile design, photography, business management, and software engineering. The combination of both left brain and right brain talents had enabled Alan to write software with an unusual sensitivity to the end user. Our tech support staff on the West Coast includes Derek and Daniel. Together their talents include an understanding of the apparel business, computer software and hardware, the world wide web, and of course PERFECT FIT. On the East Coast PERFECT FIT is sold and supported by Accurate Services. Jen has an extensive background in the apparel industry, and Sue has been an important player in the computer industry. With talent on both sides of the country, we are prepared to offer technical support surpassed by no one.
