 Client: Franklin Lighting
Three generations of the Franklin family have been lighting up Sarasota, Florida for over 30 years, with an unparalleled dedication toward quality; which has consistently earned Franklin Lighting the Sarasota Herald-Tribune’s “Best Lighting Store” Reader’s Choice Award since 1994.
By 2004, Karen Franklin had reached her boiling point with their current software. Fifteen years beforehand, Franklin Lighting had pieced together a unix based business management program to meet their immediate needs; after all, at the time, there was no Internet, the biggest computer had less processing power than a modern day calculator, and Franklin Lighting just needed something to somewhat cull the use of paper invoices, not eliminate them.

Client: Altra Rental & Supply
The company started with a modest inventory and used the Peachtree product as its business management software tool to start. This worked well until the number of inventory items began to expand rapidly. As Altra Rental & Supply grew, it became apparent that a more robust and sophisticated software solution was required to manage the burgeoning number of SKUs.
In December 2003, Altra Rental & Supply selected Windward Rental Point-of-Sales solution to manage a growing 14,000 SKUs.
