Founded in 1976, and headquartered in Shakopee, Minnesota, OSAS serves nearly 2,500 manufacturing, distribution and services customers across North America and has built a strong reputation for its industry-leading ERP solutions. OSAS’ solutions span industries including food and beverage, specialty chemicals, manufacturing, personal care, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

We are excited to welcome the entire OSAS team to the Aptean family and are eager to continue building on OSAS’ strong momentum as we execute on our shared objectives and continue to enhance our ERP offerings.”
