ABOUT
DataAdvantage's Story
We spent months searching for affordable software with the power to run our tank truck and heavy-duty truck repair businesses (LHM Tank, Inc. and Walker's Truck & Trailer Service). In the end, we created DataAdvantage. We are delighted with the way it enables our businesses to prosper and grow. We hope it does the same for your business.
We believe software should serve people and streamline activity; it should not create a burden for people to feed the system. We found software companies to be dismissive of our concerns. So, we created DataAdvantage by listening to people who use it every day.
DataAdvantage was created on the shop floor where programmers interact daily with technicians: getting things done without a lot of fuss. We think you will find DataAdvantage both simple to use and as capable as you care to push it.
We believe you own your data. You can download it at any time for free with a push of a button.
Our Values are the same for all of our companies and they are a good way to get to know how we are wired:
- Integrity: We do the right thing even when nobody is watching.
- People: People are created by God and will last forever. People are more important than anything we work on or the money we make. Every person is worthy of our respect.
- Praise: We are quick to acknowledge the good we see in other people, and we celebrate their success with them.
- Servant Leadership: Leaders equip, empower, encourage, correct, persevere, and protect. They do not lord their power over others.
- Creating: We make things and make things better.
