What software and custom programming does WaudWare write and support?
We engineer and create peer to peer, client-server, and web based applications and solutions for business. If you’re entering data more than once – consider custom programming for speed, accuracy, and flexibility in data management, especially if you are part of the fresh produce industry where operating variables present unique challenges, for example traceability and real-world costing.
The best example of custom software is our flagship product, Produce Inventory Control System (PICS) software, Web Based Produce Inventory Control System (WebPICS) software, and other process improving components, like Em/Fx – our email and fax broadcast system.
We’ve written many custom applications over the years. Head on over to Case Studies to learn more about how WaudWare has helped other companies in the fresh produce industry.

How does a business owner know when it’s time to investigate custom software?

How much does custom programming cost?
