HOW ProTrac® is BETTER

The ProTrac® System was designed in 1995, not because the world needed another distribution software company, but because smaller companies were not being well served by software suppliers. Software companies had, in fact, become difficult to deal with.

Most had price or service policies that seemed unfair and inappropriate; and most had software or software enhancement philosophies that were too rigid to properly serve their customer's needs. The result was customer frustration. In addition, prices were escalating to the point of being unaffordable to the small to mid-sized user. If a distributor wanted inexpensive software, their only choice was to pick from older, out of date character-based systems or generic accounting-type programs that added Point-of-Sale and Inventory modules as an afterthought. Additionally, most did not include software upgrades as a standard part of their monthly support.

Using the advantages of modern tools, we designed a serious software package for the distribution industry that is:

    1. Low Cost.
    2. Easy to use.
    3. Deep with functionality.
    4. Supported by humans on the first try, without voice mail.
    5. Supported by a company whose philosophy is both easy and affordable.
    6. Lower cost to install and maintain.
    7. Updated in timely fashion.

By making calculated decisions to keep our technology sharp, our costs down, and our cost of deployment low, your installation will be quick, pleasant, and should be significantly lower in total cost than our competition.

There are at least seventeen advantages ProTrac® has over competing systems. They can be found in three areas:
