October 27, 2017 4.0 Pros It is organized well and fairly easy to learn. I like that you can open multiple forms and look up information in those while entering in daily activities....

Public Works Director Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very positive" October 19, 2017 3.0 We know and can compare costs of projects. Track fleet maintenance and prepare budget projections. Pros Flexible, allows us to track projects, fleet equipment and service requests. With the crew supervisor's entering the project data we are able to reconcile payroll with out time clock and payroll generated by the clerk's office. We pull odometer reading from our fuel system into the fleet module to prompt vehicle service etc. Cons I don't have a good answer because we are not using it near it's capability. I would like to be able to clear all data after 5-years. We are not a history museum, and only want to keep records the statutorily mandated time., Review Source Response from Tracker Software February 2, 2018 Hi David, I brought up your issue with our support team, and I just heard back that they worked out a solution for you.
