The fact that RTO Pro has been in Windows since the release of Windows '95 allows us to quickly and affordably meet the evolving technological and operational needs of the RTO Industry.

Over 800 rent-to-own locations know the many advantages afforded them by running their business on RTO Pro software.

Unfortunately, that's not the case for the estimated thousands of dealers running management systems that Ron Ganus, former RTO store owner and current President of RTO Pro Software, says are "stuck in the IT Dark Ages of Unix, XENIX, Linux, and even DOS."

For those dealers, finding the hardware needed to run their software can be difficult, if not impossible. "New development on those systems is slow and tedious," Ganus said. "And good luck finding a new parallel-port laser printer compatible with DOS to print rental agreements. If you are lucky enough to find one of the few models still available, you'll pay a premium for an obsolete printer starting at about $500. And what personnel today can troubleshoot a bug or develop new functionality in any non-Windows software package?" Ganus added that, "To today's programmer, that software may as well be written in ancient hieroglyphics."

By utilizing Windows from its start, RTO Pro has achieved a built-in, distinct advantage. According to Ganus, "The fact that RTO Pro has been in Windows since the release of Windows '95 allows us to quickly and affordably meet the evolving technology and operations needs of the RTO Industry."

State-of-the-Art Equipment:
RTO Pro will operate on any affordably-priced computer that will run Windows XP, Vista or Server 2003. These computers are readily available from leading RTO Distributors or big-box retailers. RTO Pro's Windows-based software quickly prints customizable laser agreements, payment receipts, letters and numerous forms easily and interfaces with any number of USB laser printers, receipt printers, and inventory label and barcode printers. It readily accepts data from credit card swipe readers, barcode readers, inventory data-collectors, document scanners, web-cams and a host of other technologically-advanced peripherals.

Unprecedented Development:
The latest Windows database and programming systems allow RTO Pro to quickly and inexpensively add new functionality to its long list of industry specific features – often at no additional charge.

According to Ganus, "The RTO Pro software is much more than a simple RTO POS package."

RTO Pro has built-in features for store-level and home office rent to own, short term rentals, retail sales, installment sales, revolving charge sales, cash advance loans and check cashing.

Ganus elaborated on his company's advancements, "Through hundreds of product upgrades since RTO Pro's Windows debut, we've released advanced store management features including: integrated credit card processing; on-screen collections and an automated collections module that will call and play recorded messages to customers; integration to popular accounting packages such as QuickBooks and Quicken, integrated WYSIWYG word processing to customize contracts, letters, invoices and other forms; laser printed rental agreements; bar-coded inventory control; integrated document imaging for scanning drivers licenses, applications etc, destination-based sales tax functionality, and an integrated employee time clock."

Latest Enhancement - Automated ACH Processing:
The newest enhancement to RTO Pro Software is the addition of automated ACH processing which gives the RTO dealer the ability to automatically charge individual or recurring payments to a customer's bank account.

"Setting up the automated ACH system is a simple process. Once the customer signs an ACH Authorization form, which can be printed directly from RTO Pro, dealers enter the bank account and routing number and the information is stored securely by RTO Pro. Once set up, processing 1 or 1000 recurring payments and ACH debits is a one-click process," says Ganus.

ACH functionality is built in to the base RTO Pro product at no additional charge. Processing fees are 25 cents per transaction and a $10 monthly fee per company (no matter how many locations). There is a small $1 return fee.
