## Reviews

### Review — 4.0/5

> **Jeff** | *29 August 2013*
> 
> Kaslo Buiding Supplies carries a full line of building materials from hardware, to plywood \& lumber, paint, roofing, and drywall insulation. We also have a garden centre and we stock animal feed.

We have been partnered with Mainframe Associates for close to twenty years. We are currently running version 7.5, and we are switching all our terminals to PC's in September. It is my experience that there will be few issues if any, and if so, I have always had great support from the Mainframe staff. 

I have a fantastic relationship with the Mainframe team. They have always been very helpful in adding any functions or reports I have requested. 

I have looked at other options over the years, but in my opinion, I get good value for our software and support.
