Data-Trak , Inc. Information

Data-Trak, Inc. publishes, develops and supports Microsoft Windows personal computer software for asset maintenance and management. Data-Trak was the first company to develop maintenance software specifically for small to mid-sized maintenance organizations with emphasis on low entry cost and ease of use. Data-Trak incorporated in 1984 as a subsidiary of Freeport Welding, a welding and fabrication shop for the petrochemical industry. From 1984 until 1993 the company's focus was developing specialized fabrication software. Increasing federal regulation and costly reactive maintenance practices prompted Freeport Welding to research the availability of off-the-shelf computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS). The search resulted in a list of maintenance systems that were expensive and difficult to use and implement. Freeport Welding decided that it would develop it's own Windows based package in-house through Data-Trak.
