What is PagerPro®?

PagerPro® is the software package that burst onto the paging industry scene in 1992 and revolutionized accounting for pager companies. PagerPro® is a complete accounts receivables program that does much more than any simple billing package. PagerPro® handles all the billing for a pager company or telephone answering service with ease that is unmatched. Everything you need is at your fingertips, from an easy to understand menu to complete documentation within the program.

Gone are the days of keeping handwritten accounts receivable ledgers; gone are the days of handwritten statements to customers; and if your company is computerized, gone are the days of software that is hard to learn and does not fit your needs. These problems are no longer problems with PagerPro®. PagerPro® does what other programs cannot. For instance, can your package handle multiple billing cycles? PagerPro® can. Can your package charge for overcalls? PagerPro® can. Can your package page delinquent accounts automatically? PagerPro® can.

The following is a comprehensive but not complete list of PagerPro® features.

What do the experts say?

John Warren, President of Warren Communications, cited PagerPro® as "the industry standard". Warren Communications is over 20,000 pagers strong and still growing. According to Warren, PagerPro® has taken a huge burden off their monthly billing routine. "We used to do everything by hand, which would take about 5 to 7 days. Now, everything is done in a day. It’s efficient, powerful and it makes my job much easier. Every pager company should take a look at PagerPro®." Warren Communications has been using PagerPro® for over 3 years.

Eric Douglas, Comptroller for Rapid Communications in Englewood, Colorado said, "of all the 20 demos that I evaluated, I only found two that I was willing to consider. One was yours, and the other was over $3000." On the support he received from CSI Softworx, Douglas said the he has "always received friendly and prompt technical support."

Cliff McGlamry from Robin Hood Telecommunications also had only praise for the support he received from CSI Softworx. McGlamry said "I really appreciate your patience with what I’m sure seemed to you like a lot of stupid questions. I never pretended to be a programmer, and it sure was nice to be able to talk to a programmer who could talk to me in language I could understand."

Quotations are taken from actual letters submitted to CSI Softworx. Letters are on file at the CSI Softworx main office.

Can I learn a computer program?

You do not have to be a computer expert to use PagerPro®. The program was designed to be used by people who have very little computer experience. If you can use a computer keyboard, you can use PagerPro®. And to make it easier, it can be used with a mouse.

Because PagerPro® was created for people with little computer experience, installation is simple. The easy, 3-step installation process takes about 5 minutes and requires no prior computer knowledge.

Value Version 500—30 days of FREE technical support and the User’s Guide (printed manual).

The Value Version 500 contains every feature PagerPro® has, but limits the number of pagers you can enter into the system to 500. When you upgrade from the Demo Version to the Value Version 500 or from the Value Version 500 to the Full Version, you simply install the update and you are ready to enter more pagers.
