### 5/5 — Resto Rat

*2018-02-28*

This is a very sophisticated mini ERP system that is designed by me, and I have personally restored over two dozen cars, motorcycles, and boats. Almost all of which were ground up restorations to award winning acclaim. I tried to capture all the tools I wanted to make my projects successful in this app. I did lots of research and there is nothing even close to this level of functionality in one app available today. 

And there is more to come when we get market acceptance. Always interested in your feedback and recommendations for improvement features. 

Hope you will give Resto-Rat a try.
