[QUOTE="fergie35, post: 3647020, member: 639"] The thing with Gold is it does all the accounts, payroll, commission structures, wholegoods, parts, CRM, serial number stocking, workshop control including barcode scanning on and off jobs, tablet control for technicians in the field to schedule their own jobs and complete jobs etc, hire fleet management, workshop scheduler, marketing suite etc... all in one package, hence the cost and reluctance of any dealer looking to move to any other way of doing it, and probably 98% of all main dealerships use it and have been for 20 odd years, the archive and history of information stored in it is vast. It is a credible system proven without gremlins and works. I'm sure if a credible alternative that can do it all come along, people will look at it. As said earlier there is only a small audience for such software so the prices are going to go up for it now down sadly. To add to [USER=718]@Cowabunga[/USER] thoughts on DOS, there is a windows version, but that costs even more and has higher server requirements from what I can gather, we do have some users on it at work.
