Subscription vs Purchase

Have you noticed that some software vendors charge you an "ADDITIONAL FEE" EACH YEAR when you "buy" their software product? They call this a "subscription". We ask, "A subscription to what? You already purchased the software." We NEVER do this to you! Purchase our software once and you own it for as long as you like, technical support included! You will probably even tell your friends about our software. We get free word-of-mouth advertising and you get a powerful product for your money, without spending more unnecessary money. It is win-win for both of us. This concept has worked very well for us for over 18 years.

Think about it... you must re-pay for something each year that you already own and is working well for you as is? You may do that for a cleaning service, but a software product? You decide. As our customer, you will always have the option to upgrade to our latest version at a small upgrade fee, but that will always be your choice.

Maybe you feel you should spend money each year to maintain confidence in your software. If the software is really good, you should not have to. Good software makes money for you. Subscriptions only force you to part with more of YOUR money on someone else's time frame, unnecessarily.

Break FREE of this! Try our software absolutley free. Visit our web site and try a product that works for you...for many years to come!

Client/Server Multi-User Inventory Pro Deluxe

Our Inventory Pro Deluxe (IPD) software will run on any Windows Network. It can be a small home office or a large business network connected to a server computer. IPD comes in two programs, the database server and the workstation (IPD program). You only install the workstation, database server and database files on one computer in your network. We will call this the "server computer". All other computers should only install the workstation (IPD) and they will login to the "server computer" to access the database files. In other words, our database server and database files are only installed on ONE computer in your network and are shared by all other users.

IMPORTANT: AN ACTUAL WINDOWS SERVER COMPUTER IS *NOT* REQUIRED UNLESS YOU PLAN ON HAVING MORE THAN 5 SIMULTANEOUS USERS. Otherwise, any standard computer can act as the "server computer" and run our Database Server and host the database files. Many people think that they need a full blown Windows Server to run our program, and that is simply NOT true. Two "regular" computers networked together can EASILY run two workstations (IPD) with no problems. This is because our Database Server requires very little "computer power" to handle 1-5 network connections to our database files.

Client/Server simply means that a "client" (workstation [IPD]) sends a request to update the database on the "server computer". Once the "server computer" processes the request, it returns the updated record back to the client. What makes this process so special is that all clients share the same database, the database resides on only ONE computer in the network, and special transaction processing ensures superior data integrity. It is a very superior way to process multiple transactions simultaneously, very fast, very safely and very robustly!

Still unsure what a client/server application is? Click on this link for a detailed explanation. We designed our program using a simple, yet robust client/server architecture but we also designed it to run on the smallest networks. Use it as a stand-alone, 1-user program, or as a multi-user program supporting 5,10,15 or more simultaneous users! It is VERY easy to use. Why not download the program and try it on your network today? You will be amazed at how easy it is to use!

Who is M & R Technologies? Why are we different?

M & R Technologies was founded in 1990 during the time Windows 3.0 was released. Our President believed that Windows would eventually replace DOS as an operating system. We had our first Windows Invoice Software on the Internet in 1992 (on CompuServe and later on America Online (AOL)) and our Inventory Software in 1996. We introduced the first email invoice in 1996 and secured our current domain name (mrtec.com) in 1997. We are now in over 95 countries with our programs. We are proven Windows Software pioneers. 18 years have made our software a world-class force. Many programmers have tried to copy our products only to fail in software design and in many other aspects. Here is a little history of our President.

Our President was elected to the ASP (Association of Shareware Professionals) Board of Directors in 1998 when ASP was losing members because BBS's and DOS programmers were losing their way due to the Internet and Windows. He helped to turn them around, with their reborn marketing booth, updated membership standards, bylaws and much more. He grew the membership, helped to create the PAD standard and inducted the first 6 ASP hall of fame members. The membership doubled! Mike was happy to see this goal happen, as well as all of the other things he was able to make happen for them. Mike is a team member of the original Internet boom.

It may have been his enthusiasm that guided Mike to do so much for other software developers on the Internet, but it was our superior software design and implementation that made us different and allowed us the time and resources to do it. Mike even had an interview with the original creator of the try-before-you-buy concept - 20 years later. You can read the entire interview by clicking here.

We remain your best choice today. 18+ years of work on our programs have made it so. Check out one of our software packages today, absolutely free. Why not get started today!

Why Our Programs Are Used in Over 90 Countries

Our customers tell us all the time how easy our Inventory and Invoice Software is to use. We have been developing our programs for over 18 years and our products are currently used in over 90 countries. All of our programs are free to try at our web site.

One of our most liked features is our use of "Managers". We have Invoice Managers, Customer Managers, Product Managers, Purchase Order Managers, etc. Each manager works just like all of the other managers, they just manage different data. Once you learn one manager, you already know how to use all of the other managers, which means you have a small learning curve and can become very productive in a very short time!

For example, the Invoice Manager lists all of your invoices on your screen. Simply click on the new button to create a new invoice or select that option from the menu. Or you can click on an existing invoice in the list and click the edit, delete, print, send to PDF, etc. options. All managers work the same way, each manager uses the same methods to create, edit and delete data. Why not try one of our products today and see how powerful and easy-to-use our programs really are.
