Why cifraHQ Beats the Aspel Suite

Aspel technology dates from the 1990s. cifraHQ was designed for the modern enterprise.

Real Integration

A sale in cifraHQ instantly creates the accounting entry and adjusts inventory. No "Aspel link" to configure or synchronize.

Lower Total Cost

Aspel SAE + COI + NOI + PROD = 4 licenses + 4 annual renewals. cifraHQ is one subscription that includes everything.

Cloud from Day One

No local server, VPN or manual backups required. Access from any device at any time.

Beyond Mexico

Aspel does not work outside Mexico. If your company has operations in Panama, Colombia or elsewhere in LATAM, cifraHQ is the answer.

Unified Reporting

View sales, inventory, accounting and payroll in one dashboard. With Aspel you need to open each program separately.

Field Sales Team

Mobile sales, order taking and inventory queries from a phone. Aspel has no real mobile app for field sales reps.

Aspel Is Ideal For...

  • Mexican micro-businesses with very simple operations
  • Companies whose accountants already know the Aspel suite well
  • Simple Mexico-only retail businesses with no integrations needed

cifraHQ Is Ideal For...

  • Businesses tired of paying multiple Aspel licenses
  • Companies needing integrated data between sales and accounting
  • Businesses with manufacturing, maquiladora or LATAM expansion
  • Organizations needing real mobile access and remote work
