SoCal Acumatica USer GRoup Q2 Meetup
This year's SoCal Acumatica User Group meetup was held at Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles Inc. with amazing sponsorship from Velixo. The sharing of knowledge, good food, and Velixo's product feature presentations called for a memorable get-together! And as an EXTRA treat for the attendees to polish off the day, we got a tour of the Bandai Namco headquarters, where everyone could marvel at their LA Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani memorabilia wall, along with classic 90's/Y2K toy memorabilia like Pokรฉmon! Hot topics discussed were the sleek new features of Acumatica 2024 R1, an introduction and demo of Velixo and how their Excel-based Acumatica plug-in will positively impact our users, as well as a neat presentation from Velixo CEO, Gabriel Michaud, on the fun Co-Pilot AI features utilizing imported Acumatica data. Nothing like learning AND having fun!!

As you probably may not know, July is our company anniversary month, and with that Klear Systems hosted our FIRST ever Client Appreciation Event at the Angels game as a thank you for the constant trust and support we receive from our clients. We spent the night balling(...) out together with our local employees (those out-of-state were sorely missed), a handful of clients, and co-sponsor, EBizCharge.
The night was truly a success all around, ESPECIALLY with the Angels bagging a serious win of 7-2 against the former '23 World Series champs the Texas Rangers (how ya like THEM apples ๐) and plenty of food and drinks...we work hard, play hard, but best of all, WIN hard!!๐ Though this was the first C.A.E. we hosted, it certainly will not be the last - (2025, where shall we go?!)!!
