Our goal is for you to be as efficient as possible. So why spend time and effort re-entering information??? With DATOW Software, you enter the call information ONCE. From that moment on, our programs track your work until it is completed. A service call. A release. A lien sale. A charge call. No matter what the outcome, the result is always the same -- full accountability and instant recall. With NO EXTRA TYPING. When the call is completed, so is the paperwork.
All programs claim to be easy to use. But no program is as easy to use and as powerful as DATOW Software. Our exclusive Yes & No(TM) keys make using our programs a breeze. Smart Help(TM) is always available. Our PickList Help , well, it helps! Even if you don't know what to do, our programs can usually "guess" correctly. So simple, even an adult can use it!
24 hour/7 day telephone support. Well written manuals. Color coding. Built-in Help. All these things make our programs easy to use.
Many programs have password control. But DATOW Software gives you multiple levels of access control. This allows you to decide who gets access to each part of each program. Our Intrusion Detection(TM) feature helps you to maintain even tighter control and accountability. You are in control of your system at all times.
Our programs even feature a special "Tattletale" feature that will let you know if anyone has even tried to do something that is not authorized.
Automatic Driver Commissions, Automatic Customer Discounts and even Automatic Mileage Charge calculations are all controlled by you.

You know that computers have become a way of life for many companies and individuals. Big companies, like the telephone company and the electric company, have been using computers since they first became available. But now, with the availability of low cost computers, even your local drug store or video rental shop have begun to take advantage of the power of the computer. Why do you suppose that is?
Computers make you more productive. And increased productivity means increased profits. It's as simple as that!
Truck & Driver is the program where you enter information about the calls you do. If you enter the call after the call is completed, Truck & Driver acts as a data entry program. If you enter the call as the call is performed, Truck & Driver becomes a dispatching aid. Either way, you can get detailed reports about your business. And, since each DATOW Software program knows how to talk to each other, the information you enter here is shared with the Lot Control program and the Accounts Receivable program. Once is enough!
Call reports, driver commisions, expenses, truck maintenance and comparatives are all a part of Truck & Driver. So is AlphaNumeric Paging. So is AAAutocall. With automatic mileage calculations and ETA warnings, this program will amaze you at all the things it will do for you.
DATOW Lot Control keeps track of all the vehicles that you store. You can instantly look at any vehicle you have ever stored, even from years ago. If the owner is redeeming the vehicle, a release invoice is created. You can add comments about the vehicle at any time. And DATOW Lot Control can give you reports that will amaze you.
Are you searching through mounds of paperwork when the PD or an insurance company asks you about a car? Are you using a calculator to add up release fees? Do you have to put callers on hold while you look for the yard card? Then DATOW Lot Control is for you. Links to Truck & Driver, Accounts Receivable and Lien Sale Processing make our Lot Control Program perfect for Storage yards.
So easy to use, you will find yourself entering your stored vehicles just minutes after you install. VIN testing and Registered Owner lookup are all a part of DATOW Lot Control.
If you do your own lien sales, or are considering it, talk to us about our Lien Sale program. Using a low cost modem and a laser printer, you can take control of your liens. We will train you and help you to do it right.
Our Lien Sale program automatically creates the DMV request, which you send to us for overnight processing (CA only at this time). When you process the information, our software automatically enters the names and addresses of the people you have to notify, which saves you typing. We also check for invalid VINs, expiration dates, Body Types and other items. Fees are automatically added to the vehicle's record. With just a little effort, you can do your own lien sales. Other States are available too.
Links between the Lot Control, the Lien Sale Processing and the Deficient Lien Collection programs make you efficient and more profitable.
Accounts Receivable keeps track of the money you are owed. But that is not all our AR program does for you. Because all DATOW Software programs are able to exchange information with each other, our AR program is able to do more than most.
For example, when you enter a call into Truck & Driver, the AR program tell the Truck & Driver program about your customer. Things like the address, contact name, telephone number, rate structure, and more. Behind the scenes, AR checks to ensure that any credit limit or hold is honored. And of course, AR gets information from Truck & Driver so when a call is entered into the system, the invoice is too!
AR keeps track of payments, creates statements and gives you the reports you need to manage your company. It even prints the envelopes you mail your statement in, and can also print remittance envelopes to speed up your cash flow.
AR makes your End of the Month headaches a thing of the past. When a customer calls about the account, you can quickly and accurately answer any question. Corrections are just as easy.
AAAutoCall automatically enters your Automobile Club DRC calls into Truck & Driver. Hundreds of keystrokes are replaced by one keystroke. Now that is what computers are all about! Efficiency. Productivity. Profitablity. These are the benefits using DATOW Software can give you.
Once the call is "in the system", it becomes a simple matter to reconcile the payment. What took hours or days is reduced to minutes.
This inexpensive technology allows your dispatcher to spend more time dispatching and less time talking on the radio. Two keystrokes is all it takes. No more 10-9s! Customers who are using it swear by it. And the price is right! Just pennies a page.
Why let hundreds, or thousands, of dollars slip through your fingers every month? Our automated collection service will make money for you. We GUARANTEE it!
The California Driver's License has a Magnetic stripe that contains the name, address, lic# and other info. Our system can read that info and insert it for you when you release a vehicle.
