About Us

OUR SUCCESS STORY

Data Age Business Systems was founded by Tom Streng and Randy Peffly in 1988. They identified the need for small businesses, like pawn shops, to have an easy to use point-of-sale and inventory management system. The company has been recognized as a global leader in small business automation, especially in the pawn industry. Data Age also develops management software servicing used goods, precious metals, jewelry, repair, and firearm industries. Several of these markets have special regulations, and they need their software to help them stay in compliance without breaking the bank.

Therefore, both individual and multi-store businesses rely on the software developed by Data Age because of their expertise in point-of-sale (POS) technology. Data Age also excels in loan management, inventory management, scanning and barcoding products, biometrics, risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

We are committed to providing the right software systems today while supporting these products with enhancements and new capabilities for future success.
