ACCU-DART Enters a New Chapter: Same Great Product, Continued Support
After more than 30 years of building ACCU-DART into the trusted solution it is today, Irwin Ash is passing the torch. The new ownership team, Nick and Johan Johansson, bring a combined 50 years of experience in software, operations, and customer service. Their top priority is keeping ACCU-DART affordable, reliable, and customizable.
​
For ACCU-DART users, no major changes are planned. The product, pricing, and support model remain the same. The team’s first priority is continuity — listening to customers and resellers, understanding their needs, and making sure the software continues to deliver real value.

​
-
Same product: ACCU-DART will continue to deliver the same trusted functionality you rely on.​
-
Same support: Irwin will remain involved to ensure the same responsive and knowledgeable support you’re used to.​
-
Same flexibility: We know customization is a big reason many businesses choose ACCU-DART over more expensive warehouse management systems — that won’t change.​
​
The new team is focused on supporting existing customers and taking the time to truly understand their needs before investing in the product. Their commitment remains the same: delivering affordable, flexible software backed by real people who understand your business.
​
“I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing resellers and customers over the past three decades,” said Irwin Ash, founder of ACCU-DART. “I’m proud of what we’ve built together — and confident that Nick and Johan share the same values that have guided me from the start. I’ll be working closely with them to ensure a smooth transition and continued success for our customers.”
