Maxx Traxx vs RO Writer:
I use Scott Systems Maxx Traxx product. I really like it. It integrates with World Pac, Nexpart and many more. It generates parts P.O.'s automatically and will soon have full accounting.

I switched to Mitchell and am still using it; what made me switch was I was using AllData and wanted to add Mitchell to my repair info.

Compare with Lankar management software:  When you're putting your parts and labor in Lankar you are actually doing your book keeping then.
