Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What kind of fees will I have to pay to operate your program in my business setting?

A: None. There are no fees involved since all information is held on your computers and NOT sent to a server.

Q: Cards are considered expensive by many, are yours expensive and how often would I have to re-order them

A: Not as often as with most companies. Our cards are re-usable. When you use up a card simply put it back in your card inventory and re-issue the card to a new customer. The information for the OLD customer and the NEW customer are BOTH saved in your database for use later. Cards are sold based upon quantity ordered, colors involved, etc. Feel free to call us for a quote.

Q: My company has multiple locations, can a card issued at one store be used at another?

A: Yes! Even if your computers are not networked together, CRS Inc. offers "smart card solutions" that allow for merchant to issue cards at one location and redeem them at a different location. CRS Inc.'s software also supports connectivity with a MySQL database server that will allow multiple locations to share the same database.

Q: My company already has an existing MySQL server, can I just add the product-specific database to my own server?

A: Yes you can! CRS Inc. will send you an backup '.sql' file that can be restored to your company's MySQL server.

Q: My company does not have a 'server' class computer to run MySQL on. Do you build servers?

A: Yes! If necessary, CRS Inc. can build a MySQL server to suit your company's needs. The company will be responsible for all parts, software licenses, and labor.
