Owner, ARX Business Solutions

Bruce Gardner’s breadth of experience as an entrepreneur, a custom software developer, and now as a consultant, brings him a perspective other advisers often lack. Throughout his career, he has developed accounting systems for engineering firms, manufacturers, distributors and medical waste disposal firms, in addition to case management software for child service agencies, and other smaller “middleware” projects. His clients include not-for-profit agencies, distributors, construction firms, manufacturers, accountants, fast-service restaurants, transportation firms and more. Bruce has consistently been recognized as one of North America’s top tier Adagio Consultant Resellers, and enjoys an excellent working relationship with Softrak Systems, the developers of Adagio Accounting.

"The Best Part About My Job"

The best part about my job is getting to know all the people who work in my clients’ offices.

"What I Find The Most Satisfying"

I get great satisfaction upon completing a project, having the client say how pleased they are at the benefits they see — Better reporting, time savings, reduced costs or any of a number of other benefits.

"What Challenges Me The Most"

The  most challenging aspect of my role:  the need to learn is never-ending. Whether it be a new client, new software or new computing technology, there’s always something that’s changing. My learning sources include webinars, colleagues, clients, the Adagio Consulting Forum, formal courses, Google searches, manuals and the annual Adagio Opportunity Conference (AOC) in Vancouver. The learning is constant. Never a dull moment!

What ARX Business Solutions Clients Say

I have been working with Bruce since 1991. He developed the first client management software we used, then supported our Accpac accounting software and eventually introduced us to Adagio, which we now use in multiple locations. Bruce is reliable and very easy to work with. I'd recommend ARX to anyone.

It has been our pleasure working with Bruce Gardner over the past five years. He is always able to assist Farleyco with any changes that we have had to make in keeping our Adagio current. If he cannot answer a query, Bruce always sources out the answer or best solution. Over the years, Bruce has helped us immensely with the creation of new reporting systems that we needed to implement. Farleyco always looks to Bruce for advice on any software changes or solutions we may be considering. I highly recommend Arx Business Solutions, they’ve been an integral part of Farleyco’s business!

Working with Bruce and ARX these past two years has been a pleasure. When I started this job I had no experience with Adagio. Bruce has been very patient with me, answering all my questions, and has helped me tremendously. I can call Bruce anytime, even on weekends, and he will take the time to help and find a solution. Bruce is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.
