How ROM Made us Millions
When we started with ROM, we had two facilities. By the time we sold the business we had 9 facilities across the globe, all using ROM. The system made management easy and with ROM’s inventory control, we always knew what we had in the pipeline or ready for sale.
Our 18-Year Journey with ROM
My company has been using 21st Century's ROM software for the past 18 years, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
From the outset, 21st Century has provided us with a robust and reliable system that has seamlessly integrated into our operations. Furthermore, Phillip Rafle and the 21st Century team have always been just a phone call away. Their readiness to assist with any questions or issues and their willingness to go above and beyond to ensure that our needs are met promptly and professionally is both rare and something we deeply appreciate.

Why did you choose to work with ROM initially?
We decided to choose ROM because it was one of the most complete, out of the box solutions for the scrap business. The price point was about a quarter of what custom programming an inventory system would be, and we liked the fact that it was slightly programmable. The customizable reports were the final carrot that led us to choose ROM.
Why I switched to ROM
When I met the folks from 21st Century Programming, I was immediately impressed. They had hands-on scrap experience, a strong support staff and a technical staff that was easy to work with. I was amazed at the progress their software had made and realized that, while our old software had remained stagnant, they had up-to-date solutions for our current operations.

What can you expect when you buy the software?
Within 60 days we had a fully functional system in place with on-site training, on-line training (ROM University), network coordination with our IT staff and all the required hardware. In retrospect, we should have chosen ROM from the start. ROM software simply had the benefit of having invested the time and money to provide a mature, robust platform with predictable outcomes.

How does 21CP help your business?
A lot of people (myself included) are quick to give out criticism or complain, but are slower to give out praise.
I wanted to make sure to NOT do that in this instance; as the level of professionalism, knowledge, and expertise Fernando displayed while working with us was top-tier and very much warrants praise. Thanks again for making this possible for us, and a huge thank you to Fernando for doing it.We are already seeing benefits from his time here.
