How long has your company been in Business?

Performance Software Technologies, Inc has been developing and selling Routing & Accounting Software since 1991. We produced our first routing software package called "Route Rite"® Desktop Routing and Accounting Software for DOS. That was followed by our second package "Route Rite"® Desktop Routing and Accounting Software for 16 bit Windows. The third generation followed, "Route Rite"® 32 Desktop Routing and Accounting Software. Now, the 4th generation has replaced all of those, it is the latest "Route Rite"® Legend Desktop Routing and Accounting Software.

How is your software different than the others?

Our software is mature with a long history of use and is designed to be integrated and share information amongst all of the various software modules. Our concepts have always been to enter the information one time and have it used in most all the areas that information may be useful. Secondly, our software is developed to be customizable. This allows it to be used in many different routing industries and behave like it was developed for only you. The benefit of this is that as we continue to update it, everyone benefits.

Why is your software better than Web based Software?

Web based software keeps your private customer information at a location other than yours. This means that someone else has control of your private data. In today’s competitive environment, that is uncomfortable to some. 

"Route Rite"tm Legend Mobile allows you to keep your data securely on your own computer.  With "GoToMyPC"tm software you are able to operate your Route Service Billing Software through the internet, either from your truck with WiFi on a Tablet PC, Notebook, Pocket PC or Internet Ready Mobile Phone. 

Secondly, there are ongoing expenses (sometimes Quarterly, every Quarter as long as you use it) for maintaining your private data on these Web Servers. If you can not continue to pay, then who keeps your data? 

With Legend, you pay one time for the "License to Use" the software, and now you should be able to continually use it. Additionally you can add annual software support and get the standard upgrades at no charge. Of course, forms, printer ink and supplies are common to both methods.

I notice that your software has many interesting modules to it, but do I have to pay for all of them?

Our software has been packaged to allow you to take advantage of the most used modules for the same low price. For example, you may purchase the basic single user package, which includes Customer History, Routing and Scheduling, Accounts Receivable, Inventory and Link to "QuickBooks"™ by Intuit for a packaged price.  Your only ongoing fees would be for your forms, other supplies and Annual Software Support.

What is the Annual Software Support Membership?
