About ProTrac

ProTrac is an ERP - Enterprise Resource Planning Software package that is designed for distributors who have to compete daily with larger wholesale operations. Our ProTrac customer needs all of the modern and up to date business features, but do not have the deep pockets of their competitors. To fill this need we developed ProTrac in the early 90’s and today we have 200 plus small to mid-sized wholesalers in 44 states. Our customer range from 4 to 50 users and have up 12 branch operations.

Because we concentrate our marketing in this marketplace, we have kept both the initial investment and on-going software support affordable. We maintain ProTrac at the highest level of technology. We are constantly updating our software. Annual updates are a part of our monthly support contract. You will never need to purchase our next software release. It is a part of your software support contract.

ProTrac Is a New as Tomorrow Morning

ProTrac can be installed in either:

  • A Server based installation
  • A Cloud based Installation
    • As the customer you make that decision. The Cloud is not for everyman. If you feel uncomfortable having your data stored remotely, we are more than happy to install your data on your own in-house Server. If in the future, you wish to move to a Cloud environment, we would move your data from your server to our Cloud environment.

ProTrac is a very Powerful System! In 2003 we made the decision to replace our old software. We looked at several systems and in the end chose ProTrac. It has helped us expand while maintaining our emphasis on Customer Service. We have the right products at a competitive price.

I use the Results Report Generator to create reports that I want. If I get stuck I contact PDSI and their support team will come in and help me get the information that I want. It is part of the support contract.
