CRS Software Ltd are Specialists in Farm Management Software
CRS Software Ltd is based in Masterton, developing farm management software for farmers since 1981. It has a staff of twenty two, comprised of a development, support helpdesk and a sales team.
Its flagship product is Cashmanager RURAL - “Financial software that helps farmers plan”. It is much more than just GST or accounting software and is used enthusiastically by thousands of farmers and rural professionals because of its unique ability to help with farm management.
Mapping, paddock and livestock management software is another specialist area. As farms get bigger, costs climb and environmental constraints become more of an issue; the company sees a growing demand for planning physical activities and keeping simple records about paddocks, crops and livestock.
The company’s sole focus is the farming market and because of this the products meet the needs of typical farmers, with great effort made to ensure the software uses simple language and is easy to use, even for farmers or partners with undeveloped computer skills.
CRS Software Ltd believe that almost every farmer can use its software and will quickly discover that by working smarter in the office, farmers can achieve much more out in the paddock.
