Appficiency, an enterprise software consultancy based near Toronto, announced its investment in AskCipher, an AI company that’s building a universal interface layer for various enterprise platforms. The partnership allows Appficiency to bring predictive and adaptive intelligence into ERP environments without clients having to install new tools or change where their customer data is stored.
Set to expand beyond beta in February 2026, AskCipher’s AI-powered interface is designed to eliminate the need for teams to learn multiple complex software environments since it embeds automation, analytics and personalization directly into systems like NetSuite, Salesforce and Quickbase. The tech also enables Appficiency to shorten ERP implementation cycles and reduce manual configuration and documentation work.
“This launch is a significant milestone in our company’s journey to address customer demands and the unique needs facing many industries,” Johnny Than, Appficiency’s CEO, said in a statement. “For decades, software has forced users to compromise — specialized apps couldn’t integrate, and big platforms required endless tailoring. Now, AI often adds even more tools without true personalization. With AskCipher, we set out to fix that with a universal layer that adapts to every user, every workflow, and every system, at a global scale.”
