MaxxTraxx

MaxxTraxx by Scott Systems is a highly traditional, deeply respected, on-premise (desktop) software platform. While the entire industry is racing to the cloud, MaxxTraxx fiercely defends its massive user base of "old school" shop owners who refuse to pay monthly subscription fees and want their data stored locally on a server physically sitting in their own back office. Because it is installed locally on a Windows machine, it is incredibly fast. There is zero "loading" time waiting for a web browser to refresh. A service advisor can rip through an invoice, process a credit card, and print a receipt in a matter of seconds. This speed is highly valued by shops that process massive amounts of cars every morning during the "drop-off rush." Like Protractor, its absolute strongest feature is its massive, native accounting engine. It does not require QuickBooks. A shop owner can cut physical payroll checks to their mechanics, pay the physical utility bills of the building, and track complex bank reconciliations entirely within the MaxxTraxx interface, making it a true all-in-one ERP for a small business.
