TOPS Pricing

How TOPS software compares

Unlike traditional software that is bought with one large upfront fee, TOPS is offered as a hosted application which is rented monthly. As a hosted application, using TOPS is simple. You are not required to purchase a server, load complex software in your office, perform software upgrades and patches, or do backups of your data.

TOPS pricing is based on a monthly charge for maximum simultaneous users of the system. For example, you may have 10 employees who will need access to TOPS, but only 3 will need access at any one time. In this case you would buy access for 3 "seats" at $330 per month, which would allow any 3 of your employee's to use TOPS at the same time.

TOPS Pricing system is based on the number of simultaneous users... 3 users amounts to $330 per month.

Price includes access to most TOPS functionality including Call Taking, Dispatch, Inventory Control, Driver Checkout, Tow Ticket Control and more. Price also includes Help Desk support, unlimited upgrades, automatic data backups, and our TOPS Link Internet application which allows your customers to enter calls, check the status of their own calls, and even check your inventory for their own calls. The software pricing can be adjusted as your user count needs change.**

There is a one-time setup fee of $300 for basic company setup in TOPS. This also includes setting up your customers, employees, trucks, etc. There is also a one time setup fee of $250 to setup the QuickBooks interface for Accounting. **

** Access to Lien and Auction may require an additional monthly fee. Complex setup which includes exporting from your current systems may incur an additional setup fee. Please contact us for a price quote.




Hosted vs. Buying - Why pay a monthly fee?

Some may wonder if TOPS is more expensive than traditional dispatch software since you are paying a monthly fee. The answer is no, and in fact just the opposite.

There are many hidden cost associated with installing and maintaining a dispatch system in your office. The dispatch software itself is only a small part of the total cost for a traditional system. The expense of buying a server, buying software and hardware for proper backup, software upgrade cost, downtime cost, and the cost of performing maintenance and upgrades can quickly add up to many times the initial software purchase price. Maintaining software can be especially expensive and frustrating for small companies that do not have a dedicated computer person on staff. With TOPS hosting service all of these expenses are covered in one fixed monthly fee.

Value... More for your money!

As important as price is, value is just as important. TOPS is more than just traditional dispatch software, offering features far above other systems on the market. TOPS itself offers the most advanced dispatching system available, but also much more. TOPS is tightly integrated with other products in the towXchange network, extending the power of your dispatch system. Are you getting everything you want from your current dispatch system? Can you access your current dispatch system from multiple offices, or from home? Can your customers enter their own calls to you over the Internet? Can your drivers update the dispatch system automatically from their cell phones? Does your current system support lien and auction processing? TOPS does, and more.

One monthly fee provides you the best dispatch system available, while freeing your people from the hassles of maintaining a server, installing upgrades, applying patches, and performing backups.
