Here are some comments from our customers who have used our software products over the years:

I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the hands on support that your organization provided to Maaco. The application modifications that we requested were performed with a true willingness to give the customer exactly what they wanted. I believe that those enhancements will provide value to your other customers as well. The program application is currently being used to provide floor planning to three automotive dealerships. I would be very comfortable being a reference to Slateboard if ever the opportunity arose.

Thanks again,

Neil S. Cooper
Chief Financial Officer
Maaco Enterprises, Inc.

We use your software for our Housing Rehabilitation Program. The program involves Grants and low-interest Loans. Your QuikCalc Program is the software that we have chosen to track the financial portion of the program. It has all the tools we need, and is easy to use.

Slateboard excels at their commitment to their clients. I can’t thank you enough for the excellent Customer Technical Support that your company provides. Your support staff has answered every question, walking through the application step-by-step. Many companies say they provide Customer Support but fall short of their promise. Slateboard sets the standard for Customer Service!

I highly recommend Slateboard Software.

Thanks …
