Services.

I have helped many different kinds of businesses of small to medium-large sizes. Different fields I have worked in are manufacturing, food processing, utility, religious administration, professional, etc. In my earlier programming days, many situations were accounting related mainly in the areas of accounts receivable and payable, payroll, inventory, and general ledger. In the past 10 years I have also worked in many specialized areas of materials management, food processing, and a number of specialized manufacturing systems. There was even a project that involved modifying a program used in medical research at a nearby regional hospital.

Route System.

Beginning in late 2003, I developed a water and salt route system in conjunction with Bailey's WaterCare, LLC of Tecumseh, MI. They were using a very complex commercial application that was just overkill for their needs. It was designed to meet the needs of a medium sized company in the water/salt/softener business. It is an accounts receivable and route scheduling package. It has been running full time since 2004.

AccQ-Trak Vending Software.

In mid 2010, I was contacted by Eric Hammond and Craig Hammond of Michigan Mini Vend about replacing a very old MS-DOS based application that had been custom developed for them a long time ago. We started the project with the ultimate goal of not only solving their problems, but also to develop something that could help others in the vending business. As of November 2010, they are in live daily use and final tweaks are being done. It will be available for sale soon.

Event Scheduler.

Pretty much my first big project using Access. This was developed for the Michigan District of the Assemblies of God church to assist in scheduling an annual Fine Arts Festival. Their existing system consisted of hand scheduling several hundred events occurring over a two day period. This program allows entry of contestant and event information and then produces a performance schedule.
