Ai2000 (formerly A2000 Software) is the AI-driven ERP built exclusively for apparel, footwear, and home goods brands.
Ai2000 is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform that solves a specific problem: fashion businesses run on style-color-size matrices, seasonal collections, retail compliance, and complex wholesale relationships — and generic ERP software was never designed for any of it. Ai2000 covers the entire operation in one platform: product lifecycle management (PLM), order and inventory management, native EDI, warehouse management, financials, and AI-powered analytics. Because everything is native, there is no middleware, no per-transaction EDI fees, and no data trapped in disconnected systems.
Ai2000 was founded in 1996 and was formerly known as A2000 Software — the name under which the company spent nearly three decades building ERP software for the apparel industry. That history matters: the workflows inside Ai2000 today were shaped by thousands of real implementations with fashion brands, not adapted from another industry. The Ai2000 name marks the platform's next generation, with AI-driven analytics, automation, and support built into its core.
Ai2000 serves three industries: apparel and fashion, footwear, and home goods. Our customers range from growing wholesale brands to global fashion houses. Brands that have run their businesses on our platform include Michael Kors, Carolina Herrera, Oscar de la Renta, Tumi, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Anne Klein, London Fog, Nicole Miller, and many more. Read how founder-led brand Wolfpack 6 replaced a decade of weekend reporting with Ai2000 AI. These companies chose a purpose-built system because apparel operations — prepacks, allocations, retailer routing guides, GS1-128 labeling, chargebacks — demand software that speaks the language of the industry.
Ai2000 is led by people who have spent their careers inside the fashion business. President James Gottlieb has guided the company's product direction for over 30 years. Vice President Debbie Douglass has personally led hundreds of client implementations across apparel, footwear, and home goods. Director of Business Development Wendy Hemminger works one-on-one with brands evaluating their next operational platform. When you work with Ai2000, you work with operators who have lived your challenges from the inside.
Ai2000 is headquartered in New York City, in the heart of the Garment District, and serves brands worldwide. You can reach our team at (212) 629-8800 or success@a2000software.com.
