Notes from the President

05 September 2019 khilton Notes from the President

Ken Hilton - President Red Wing Software

It’s hard to believe, but summer is almost over. While we’re busy year-round at Red Wing Software, it does seem to let up a little in late summer. This gives many of our dedicated employees a chance to take a few, well-earned, days off, travel a little, and get ready for a busy winter. Based on the number of calls we get on our support lines, many of our customers are also not spending as much time on their recordkeeping and financial analysis.
Now that many of us have had a chance to rejuvenate, it’s time to get back focused on our business. Let’s take some time to make sure all information is up to date. Check inventory and verify that accounts receivable are not getting old. It’s a great time to check actual financial information compared to the budget for the year. Are we on track with revenue, and are expenses in line with projections? If numbers are a little off, there may still be time left in the year to get things back on track.
I hope everyone has had a chance to have a little down time, and if you’ve had that opportunity, now is a great time to get back focused on the business.

40th Anniversary Customer Stories

26 August 2019 StephanieE Customers in the News
Customer: Wendte Farm LTD, Roy Wendte, Altamont, IL
We may have not been using Red Wing Software for 40 years, but have been for 35 years. We started using AgCHEK back when I was in graduate school at the University of Illinois and I used to sell Red Wing Software products as a dealer in the early years - 1980s.
The most interesting thing about using the software for our family farm is that my mother, age 92, still to this day enters all monthly transactions and runs a balance sheet and income statement for me as manager. She has done this for the entire 35 years. She also emails, texts, and instant messages using her desktop computer and iPhone. She is an amazing mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
